Car

“Dear PoPville,

I am in the market for an EV but I live in an apartment where street parking is the only option. My work has charging and I am tentatively planning on utilizing fast charging on weekends, when needed. I would appreciate any insights your readers might be able to provide if they’ve had experience owning an EV in the city.”
