The building had a few parking spots with 120v outlets nearby and they let me run a cord to one. Its quite possible there's something like that available if its outside parking and can't hurt to ask. Less likely if it's underground. Can come to a side agreement for electricity cost showing cost on app or via some other tracking. permalink fedilink source parent [–] a4ng3l@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago Generally you’re fucked. Also if you have an underground parking lot, in most places in Belgium, fire marshals won’t allow you placing a charger. Several colleagues of mine got shafted with the move to EVs on that basis. You can also try to charge on public chargers but that’s a lifestyle in itself. Several of us had to before the home chargers rollout reached us and it wasn’t trivial due to the lack of fast chargers around. Still I wouldn’t go back to an ICE ever. permalink fedilink source parent [–] AA5B@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) A buddy of mine has an EV at a condo where there is no way to charge, nor is there where he works. He just goes to a supercharger once a week or so. Granted, then you’re not saving time or money over gasoline cars, but it is doable permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] pageflight@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago Time no, money probably. It costs $10-$20 to fully charge at a supercharger. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Wooster@startrek.website [S] -2 points 2 years ago Typically in those cases, you plug in at work, assuming they offer it. Alternatively, you might be able to get away with a simple level 1 charger if your apartment has a standard outlet available. You can talk to your landlord about making changes, but failing that, you probably want a hybrid instead of an EV. Electricity at ‘the pump’, so to speak, can be more expensive than gas and certainly takes longer. permalink fedilink source parent
