Key Discussion Points:

• Stephanie Terrell's Experience: Stephanie bought a used Nissan Leaf with hopes of reducing her carbon footprint and saving on gas, but faced challenges with charging due to not having a private garage.
• Charging Dilemma for Renters: Unlike gas stations, electric vehicle charging stations are not always readily available, leading to long wait times and, in some cases, running out of power.

• Challenges for Homeowners Without Garages: Even homeowners in some areas face challenges if they don't have a garage or charging infrastructure, highlighting the broader issue of access to EV chargers.
• Possible Solutions: What strategies and plans are in place to address these issues? Will apartment buildings add more chargers, and what about on-street parking for EVs?
• Call to Action: Share your thoughts on how electric vehicle adoption for renters will play out and potential solutions to the charging dilemma.
