EV parked, nowhere to charge
Flat dwellers buy EVs, then discover zero home charging. Public plugs cost triple overnight.
1. The problem
Apartment EV owners face nightly hunts for public chargers at triple home rates. Buildings own few shared plugs with no booking rules. Neighbors unplug each other by dawn. Costs split by guesswork monthly. The hardest part is fair overnight access. A plug might free at 2am unusably. That uncertainty makes it hard to own electric without driveways.
“Public charging costs me triple with no home plug. I need bookable shared chargers with fair splits.”
2. What exists
ChargePoint, building managers and spreadsheets share plugs, while residents improvise. Networks price public charging steeply. A sheet might schedule informally until disputes. There is little help with bookable shared plugs plus automatic cost splits for apartment blocks.
3. The solution
The solution could be a fair-charge rail for apartment EVs. It could book overnight slots with notifications on completion. It could meter electricity per car automatically. Costs could split monthly without meetings. The goal would be full batteries for flat dwellers daily.
