I’m looking to get an electric car. I currently live in a manufactured home (basically a single family house) and it already has a 120v outlet in the carport and adding a 240v outlet shouldn’t be hard. Charging would be easy and cheap.

That said, I am 34, still living with my mom, so I need to move eventually. Despite years of trying to get a home in LA, I’ve failed so far and the only thing I could afford to get would be an apartment style condo or simply an apartment. It’s been a few years but I didn’t notice many chargers a few years ago when I looked at complexes. Not sure how it is now.

Are people that live in multifamily homes able to get charging done at home these days? Do they have to rely on public charging? How expensive is fast charging compared to gas prices? I’m curious before I pull the trigger on getting an electric car.

    My building doesn’t have any charging options (not even a standard wall outlet). I’m fully EV, a 2023 Tesla Model 3 RWD and a 2016 Nissan Leaf SV.

    I charge either at the Level 2 charger across the street or a 10 min drive away where there’s a Tesla Supercharger station and Chademo stall in close proximity.
