    I live in one of the most progressive cities in the US and have had the same issue here. We have no driveway and park on the street but regulations say we cant use the grass strip (the area between the srreet and the curb) to install a charging station for an ev in front of our house. For 5 years we tried to get permission to do this without luck and have given up on ever getting an EV. I dont get how there is any hope for electric vehicles if there arent any working solutions for the millions of people in the United States who dont have a driveway or garage.

    Its time to grab a beer kick back and watch as the planet is destroyed by slow moving bearacratic regulation.

      I gave up on humanity decades ago. I’ve got a bottle of SoCo set aside for the end of the world.
