green_red_black comments on Pennsylvania Is Building More EV Chargers. Will Drivers Come?

I would say if there was as many Charging stations as gas pumps plus an affordable way to install level 2 charge stations in homes yes more EV drivers would come.

It's rather one of the big reasons folks don't get an EV

Most people don’t need a 240v charger at home. A 120v outlet will add 60 to 80 miles with overnight charging.

Public chargers are great if you are on a road trip or live in an apartment though. I’ve seen some experiments with 120v curbside charging from lamp posts. Would be nice if this was integrated into public parking meters.

Fair enough, still point is the lack of publicly available chargers is a major reason people don't go electric
