Electric-vehicle charging in streets built before car ownership

Charging access is questioned through the example of houses built before widespread car ownership. A resident without a garage, drive, or reliable space outside the house has fewer opportunities to charge at home. The contrast is with households that have a dedicated parking area and can fit a charger. The contribution also proposes more efficient combustion engines as an approach that could apply beyond locations with convenient charging. It describes a household-access constraint rather than establishing that one vehicle technology is suitable everywhere.
