The less well of typically do bot own thier own homes.

More to the point people who rent in apartment complexes or own condos can't just have a new breaker put in at thier condo or apartment complex. Some places have large parking lots and would require a lot of work to wire all the spaces woth thier own chargers. Also while it's simple for you to get a 240v breaker put into your electrical box, what about an apartment complex that has a 100 cars ? It can require expensive work to support that much power drain and most people will commute during the day. That means all the load will happen after 6pm and before 9am.

Also in the mean time what do you do of you don't own your own home? Buy an ev and hope the complex you are renting at will put in a charger or two ? What about all the hoa fighting adding chargers and so on.

Like I saod this will affect the less well off.

Yes, you are right. It only makes sense if you jave the option to charge at home, at your work or similar. Anyway, I'm happy I don't have to think about this kind of shit. I get on my bike and just drive, if something is broken, it's usually a $15 fix I can do by myself in an hour.
