    More people need to feel comfortable asking for chargers in their apartments’ meetings. As one lady was scared of being chewed out for supporting new technology.

      I don’t disagree with that but I have never been to an apartment meeting in my life. I have lived in apartments for the last 15 or so years, and most of them have been owned by huge conglomerates who barely fix amenities when they break. I waited on a tap for my tub for about a week, a replacement garbage disposal for about 6 months. The drain for the pet grooming shed was flooded for about 2 months before they did anything about it at the most recent place. They let the gutters freeze and fall off the building during the winter and didn’t replace them til 8 months later. EV chargers are just not something I think the management would even care about unless it’s making them money. And even then they’d weigh that against the number of people living there who drive EV’s and probably decide against it.

      I’ve lived in many apartments and they barely meet their lease obligations let alone give a rat’s ass about my opinion on any matter.
