Solutions for Multifamily Housing Residents<\/strong><\/h2>\n

For EV drivers without access to home charging, especially residents of multifamily housing, finding affordable and convenient charging options can be difficult. To make the cost and climate benefits of EVs available to all drivers, different charging options are necessary, such as shared residential charging, nearby public charging, or workplace charging.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to being less convenient, reliance on public charging can significantly increase the cost of charging an EV, since public charging can easily be two to three times more expensive than home charging due to installation and operational costs passed on to EV drivers. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Since public charging stations are more likely to be concentrated in more affluent neighborhoods, low-income communities often <\/span>travel further<\/span><\/a> to access EV charging compared to white households. These inequities contribute to a gap in who can benefit from EV adoption.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This toolkit contains 20 case studies of companies and organizations working to improve charging access. It also includes data analysis and a map of charging solutions, culminating in a list of best practices and recommendations for communities looking to improve charging access for all residents.<\/span><\/p>\n

To make our toolkit as accessible as possible, we have a PDF<\/a> of all the resources in addition to webpages of all the information.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
