Now I hate to state the obvious but the massive provincial subsidies being rolled out to subsidize consumer purchases of electric cars here isn't exactly going to benefit all motorists equally.If you own a home in the suburbs you likely have a nice driveway or even a garage which would allow you to easily charge up at your convenience because nobody is going to sue you for laying a fat extension cord across your lawn if you want to.
But for most of the rest of us unwashed working masses there's no place to plug in when you find parking on the street.
There have been mentions of future implementation of charge stations to be built someone near the sidewalks but I haven't seen any real plans of that happening in the foreski-able future.
The current alternative, which is to dangle an extension cord across the sidewalk from your home to your vehicle is entirely unmanageable and possibly dangerous and maybe even illegal and certainly won't win you any more friends among your neighbours.
