Would you buy an electric vehicle - Why or why not?

So I for one am hoping my next car will be an EV and recent arrivals on our shores have certainly increased choice compared to even six months ago.

But my major hurdle is not having a driveway/garage/ car port for daytime charging from my solar.

There has been a bit in the news about councils trialling to offer to install a charging point to the nature strip through a trench or something, but the cost is very high. There have also been observations about many people running cables high over the pavement, hooking a tree branch and then down to the car. Probably risky, and not liked by councils.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out. I’ve seen some articles about neighbourhood charging points and perhaps community batteries will have a role.
