    I charged my EV overnight from an overhead garage door power socket in my apartment for years before I moved out. Never even needed public charging. Many people just don’t realize you can charge from a normal household outlet

        Y’all really need to go about asking your landlord to install chargers. There are even options where it charges you for power so he’s not out the cost
