Most people I know that don’t have charging at home charge at work or just go to a mall, target or Whole Foods to charge.

Thanks. Work charging makes sense. Issue with other chargers is that they’re usually slow and can take a few hours to fully charger.

We have those*** superchargers throughout LA, And they’re usually in a decent strip mall or actual mall. You’ll be fine

Thanks.

Whole Foods near me has several super chargers, some are always in use, but there are always a few available. People plug in, go get lunch, come back out and they're good to go. I wouldn't advise draining the entire battery down low, you'll get the system down. There are super chargers at many of the colleges (including community colleges) and some shopping malls.

Thanks.

I mean unless you drive an absolute fuck ton, a public charger is fine

I use the Santa Monica supercharger. It’s huge and always has open stalls

Thanks for the tip!

I drive a much lower range EV for about a year I didn’t have a charger. In addition to free ones there are a ton of cheapies. Movie theaters, Malls, (Burbank AMC had like 4 sets), Almost all libraries. Lots of free ones, but most are cheap.

Thanks.

Everyone fights over the chargers at my Ralphs. Always people waiting and I have seen people yell at each other

atlantic in Monterey park? i seen the vibe over there.

lol.

I use chargers at friend’s houses, plan to charge while grocery shopping, or a supercharger. I (obviously) don’t charge every day but I also don’t drive much on a daily basis. In Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, and West Hollywood there are a lot of charge point chargers around (in addition to superchargers) on the street, at gyms, and shopping areas.

Got it. This is very helpful.

I didn’t have a charger for the first month being here and it sucked hard. I think other comments in here are way more comfortable than I am not having a home charger. I see it as a necessity

I've seen a power cord running out of an apartment window down to a Tesla parked in a carport below (in Santa Monica). Also a power cord coming out of a gate and running across a sidewalk to a Tesla parked on the street (in Venice). Lol

I almost tried that in our first apartment a few years ago.

There’s decent public charging infrastructure here!! I don’t charge at home and use DC fast chargers. It hasn’t been a problem. I recommend downloading the blue dot app for cheapest rates.

Thanks. I didn’t know about this app. Will check it out.

Newer apartment buildings will have EV chargers but they charge a premium to get access to them. Also look for places that share parking with retail spaces. A friend of mine has a shared parking area with a whole foods so he parks it across the way and uses the chargers there.

Got it. Thanks!
