I think many of people here live in US and assume that it everywhere things look similar.
in my European country electric infrastructure is not ready for electric cars and with current energy prices this makes no financial sense.
I own plug in hybrid and I live in apartment meaning I have no possibility to charge at home.
near me (about 10 min of walking there is public single phase allow charger with 2 plugs machine maxing 3.5kW total (for both)) and if I'm lucky I manage to find free slot one a week, but usually that's one every two weeks. This is only "free" charger in reasonable distance from me, and free means that I can use it when I have ticket for public transportation with I need to have anyways.
there are some normal chargers, but they cost 2x for slow charging or 3x for fast charging than energy prices here + you have to pay per minute of taking parking spot.
in summary when I calculated how much does it cost $/km it is very similar to gasoline but it's much trickier to recharge.
I would love to own fully electric but without also owning house with solar this makes no sense right now.
