Can you own an electric car without a garage?
I’ve been shopping around for a new car and I really want to finally go electric, but I’m worried about owning an electric car without access to a garage. Can I still buy an electric car if I don’t have a garage to charge it in?

While you might have a slightly different setup for your
electric vehicle
, not having a garage shouldn’t stop you from getting your dream car!As long as you have electrical service and a dedicated parking spot, carport, or a driveway you have the means to charge your car at home using either a mobile electric vehicle charger or having an electrician install an onsite charging station.
As electric cars become more and more popular, it’s likely that many condo and apartment dwellers will soon see electric car charging stations installed for use at private residences, workplaces, and public areas.
As an electric car driver, you have your finger on the pulse when it comes to the newest and best technology in the automotive world. You need a
car insurance
broker that is right there with you, always searching for the best plans at the best prices. That’s why we created the Jerry
app. A licensed broker that offers end-to-end support, the Jerry app gathers affordable quotes, helps you switch plans, and will even help you cancel your old policy.
