How can you have an electric car in a city?

I’m ready to ditch gas for good, but I’m concerned that I don’t have the right setup for an electric car. I live in an apartment building in a city with street parking and no dedicated parking space, and wouldn’t be able to set up an electric car charger at my home. How can you have an electric car in a city?

When is comes to city driving, eco-friendly electric cars are great. Traveling short distances at low speeds allows you to fully utilize the benefits of regenerative braking, but having an electric car in the city can be a challenge for some owners who don’t have a dedicated parking spot or garage.
If you don’t have access to a home charger, you can take one of the following options:
  • Join a charging network so you always know where to fuel up.
  • Ask your landlord or property management company to install electric car chargers for residents.
  • Ask your workplace to install chargers to incentivize more eco-friendly drivers.
