How do people in apartments charge their electric cars?
I own an EV and me and my husband are moving into an apartment in the summer. It’s a big change from the suburbs but we’re excited because it's closer to our work. How do people in apartments change their electric cars?

Great question and congrats on the move! While it may be a hurdle if your apartment parking complex doesn’t have charging stations available, there are still ways around it.
One tip might be to locate nearby charging stations so you don’t have to worry about running out of charge. This way it will be similar to gas-powered car owners who also don’t refuel at home. There are many charging station companies prioritizing infrastructure building in regions with apartment buildings.
According to an article by InsideEVs, many states prohibit landlords or owners from denying a reasonable request to install an EV charging station. All you would have to do is get permission, get a permit and somehow connect your charger to begin charging.
You could potentially speak to your employer and ask if they would let you charge while you’re at work. If you use a level 1 charger you will still likely get a good amount of charge, but if your workplace is willing to install a level 2 charging station, that’s even better. You may even start a trend and encourage more people to go electric!
