Let the price of oil drop as much as it wants - we can't afford to keep increasing the CO2 levels in the air. For a LEAF, you can recharge in 6 or 7 hours with the special recharger, much longer with a standard outlet, and in 30-40 minutes with the super quick chargers that are being installed on the I5 corridor and at Nissan dealers. The plan right now is to install the chargers every 50 miles or so along I5. As more people buy EV's, the demand for more charging infrastructure will increase. For renters, I think apartment owners can still get a free charging station installed, but it would certainly be a problem if all the renters got EV's. I think apartment owners would need to start installing EV chargers as standard equipment in the garage, just as they have learned to offer microwaves, dishwashers, etc. They could charge a small fee for an EV-ready charging spot to offset the cost.
