The barrier in my Canadian city isn't even purchase price, it's that I cannot charge at my apartment

Its still very much a barrier for most of us poors

Yeah I get it

But what im trying to say is that you can get an EV for like 20k cad, but charging requires home ownership (1.1m average in this shithole country)
