    Umm… I was joking about the extension cord, you absolutely cannot run an extension cord down the road, across sidewalks, and to your EV car… you need to be able to park at your house to charge, which isn’t necessarily an option when you have a shared driveway.

      How long is your driveway? Not everyone lives on an estate

        You’re still not getting it… if his car has to be parked on the street, possibly not that close to his actual house, he is not allowed to run an extension cord across a side walk and down the street… it’s completely impractical.
