Gas prices are reaching record levels and bringing the Bolt back is a "huge mistake". Hard to wrap my head around any of this making sense outside of short term investor concerns.
No one can afford a detached house without an Hoa to install a charger
Most people don't even need to install a charger.
If you have a normal 120V 25A circuit available, you can just plug in a 20A charger and get ~40miles every night. Unless you average more than 250miles a week on your car, you'll be fine with a normal outlet.
But with gas prices what they are today, even in an apartment, having to pay for public charging is quite a bit cheaper than gas.
HOAs do not prevent chargers or anything in your garage.
