No home charger = no life?

What to do if I don't have a parking space to install level 2 charging for my EV?

If you don't have a parking space where you can install a Level 2 charging station for your electric vehicle (EV), there are a few other options you can consider:

  1. Look for public charging stations: Many cities have public charging stations that you can use to charge your EV. Some of these stations may be Level 2 charging stations, which can charge your EV more quickly than a standard Level 1 charging station. You can use a smartphone app or website to find nearby public charging stations.

  2. Join a car-sharing program: Some car-sharing programs, such as Zipcar, have EVs available for use. These EVs are typically equipped with Level 2 charging stations, so you can charge the vehicle while it is not in use.

  3. Consider installing a portable charging station: Portable charging stations are portable EV chargers that you can plug into any standard electrical outlet. These chargers are slower than Level 2 charging stations, but they can be a convenient option if you don't have a dedicated parking space for your EV.

  4. Look for other charging options in your area: Some businesses, such as malls, hotels, and restaurants, may offer EV charging stations for customers. You may also be able to find charging stations at gas stations or other public places.

If you don't have access to a charging station, you may need to plan your trips carefully to make sure you have enough charge to reach your destination. You can also consider purchasing an EV with a longer range to reduce the need for frequent charging.
