EVs are soaring in popularity amid tax incentives and high gas prices, but how and where to charge up remains a dilemma that’s a barrier for most renters.

This is going to be a problem although the “soaring” reference might be pre-mature.
- Pure EVs account for near 1% of vehicles in the U.S.
- Plugin hybrid EVs (gas/electric) account for about 1.6%
- How many electric cars are on the road in the United States? (usafacts.org)
This is a problem moving forward. Am surprised, from the story, of renters buying an EV without first figuring out whether they had availability of outlets or neighborhood charging stations.
