It used to be about parking spaces, now it’s about having EV chargers for cars.
I got the idea for this cartoon from my condo building.
A few neighbors have electric cars (electric vehicles or EV’s for short) and they have adapters to charge their cars. One or two of them happen to be near an electrical outlet, so it’s just a matter of having the adapter and they’re all set.
Recently another neighbor got a new EV and I guess it came up as being a good idea to outfit the parking garage with EV chargers.
Electricians spent a whole day here last week installing the apparatus, and now we are up-to-date regarding the EV world.
I’ve been toying with the idea of getting an EV and I park a foot or two from an electrical outlet, so I never considered not having easy access. But now the whole building has access. And that makes a difference for everyone.
I’m also toying with the idea of moving, although I always say that, but if I were to move and if I were to have an EV, what would I do about charging it? Would I ask about that when condo shopping? It’s like asking about the parking space situation when house hunting or if there is a washer/dryer with the unit. Now it’s all about the EV charging station. Does the building have them? Is it something every modern building needs now?
Private homes can do what they want, but condos and apartments may need to modern up the place in order to keep buyers and tenants.
One of my neighbors said, “It’s good for resale value.” He always says that when we do something new and/or expensive at the building.
But the EV charger situation is something to think about these days when apartment or condo shopping.
Till next time . . .
