Are electric cars viable if you live in an apartment?

I’m thinking of getting an electric car but I don’t know if my rental situation will support it. Are electric cars viable for apartment living?

This is a great and pertinent question! Yes, an
electric car
is viable if you live in an apartment, but it might take some creativity. Many apartment complexes, even older ones, are starting to have charging stalls for their EV (electric vehicle) users. Remember, all you need is a basic wall plug-in to juice up your battery.
Another thing that many fellow apartment dwellers do is charge at their place of work. This too is becoming much more commonplace. However, if neither of these options is available for you, you might want to reconsider. But even then, you could go to public charging stations to juice up your
