By then fast charging will be a thing.

(But I suspect charging your car at a public fast charger will cost more than charging at home.)

FWIW: I believe fast chargers at grocery stores and similar destinations will be the tipping point for electric cars for renters. It's easier to just charge your car while you buy groceries than to make another stop at a gas station.

Related: Yesterday Tesla announced that their new tabless battery will support even faster charging speeds. Not sure if it will be able to go to a full charge in 2-3 minutes; but to be honest: Every EV I've owned has been able to finish "fast charging" by the time I'm done pooping in a public restroom.

Condo dweller here with anecdotal confirmation: I would absolutely consider an EV if they had charging stations at my local supermarket. I had looked into one for tax reasons, but passed due to the charging situation.

Not that I paid it much thought, but this does change how I see it. Cheers.
