It honestly makes more sense to have an "EV charge station" mandate. If people have access to chargers, the car purchases will follow. Currently I have no reason to buy an EV because I live in a rental (unable to install a charger) with the only nearby public charger being a Tesla supercharger (and I refuse to give that creep any of my money). So if I bought an EV, where would I charge it?

Don't get me wrong, I'd like to make the switch, but having to rely on problematic public chargers that are not nearby or potentially nonfunctional makes it a dealbreaker.
