EV charging is hassle-free if and only if you have a home charger, which typically means you have to own a house as well.

Workplace charging gets extra competitive because it's often free, meaning all sorts of bad behavior is incentivized. It's weird how wound up people with $50,000 cars can get about $5 in free electricity.



Free workplace charging has always rubbed me the wrong way if the company doesn’t also offer employees free transit passes.


If you have a personal parking spot in your residence, you can install a charger there. It will be you own charger.

In France there is a "right to charge", meaning even if you're a tenant the landlord/building manager can't refuse you the installation of a plug. (But you might have to pay for it)
