This point comes up a lot. About 1 in 8 Americans live in apartments where charging may prove a challenge.[1] And this number will only increase in the future. This demographic will also be living closer to city centers where retail charging points will be an incentive while eating out or doing errands.

My point is that they are least likely to buy an EV.

In time, maybe, yes. But I don't think the deciding factor for these people (myself included) are charging stations at the mall.
