Its expensive to be poor, and most people are poor
They are already in debt paying huge amount of interest monthly.
I like being able to charge at home and it’s a luxury I know not everyone gets.
For the numbers:
Paying off a $600 charge at $10/month like you suggested would take almost 13 years and cost over $900 in interest at a 18% apr
So you are spending almost 50% more on interest than the original charge. So 150% more expensive at 1500 vs 600.
For a 5 year payoff you have to spend just over $15/month but still are paying over $300 in interest. That’s now over $900 total or 50% more expensive because you can’t afford the up front cost.
Again most people can’t afford the up front cost.

Apartments would pay for it, not individuals. Having EV chargers would be a selling point, allowing higher rent.
Poor people are generally not driving EVs yet.
That’s the thing, they should be. They are much cheaper especially taking into account less maintenance.
