Can I Own an EV?

The real question isn't which EV to buy. It's whether you can charge it without hassle, and what it will actually cost you. Answer five questions and get a straight answer.

Common questions

Can I own an EV without a garage?

Yes, if you can park in a driveway or carport near an outlet. Street parking is the hard case: without home or workplace charging, every mile comes from public fast chargers, which takes time and costs more.

Is a regular outlet enough to charge an EV?

Often, yes. A standard 120V outlet adds roughly 40 miles overnight, which covers the average American's daily driving. If you drive more than that most days, a Level 2 (240V) charger makes life much easier.

Can I own an EV in an apartment?

It works well if you can charge at your parking spot or at work. You'll need your landlord or HOA's approval for charging in a shared garage, and many states have right-to-charge laws that help renters and condo owners.

How much does it cost to charge an EV each month?

Charging at home, a driver covering the US average of about 35 miles a day pays roughly $60 to $80 a month at average electricity prices. Light driving in a cheap-power state can be closer to $30, while California or New England can top $100. Relying on public fast chargers costs about two to three times as much.
