> I would hope the vast majority of Americans who have access to a driveway will be able to find a block of time for this.

Given housing costs, that assumption of access isn't a sound one. And Apartments from what I've seen have maybe 5 total charging stations for every few hundred cars?

>Fortunately this isn’t a problem in the vast majority places today and I hope continued investment in fast charging networks ensures this remains a limited problem.

well, not today. If the adoption is aggressive this can and will quickly be an issue in urban areas.

In the US, ~70% of people live in single family houses.

Most people already have an EV "gas station" at home...

I'd want to see a breakdown of that by demographic. I don't think many boomers are itching to switch to FEV as of now.
