      Since the study was from Europe I’m going to assume that the primary thing holding people back from plugging in is that they can’t. Many, if not most, of them will live in multi-tenant dwellings and most of those dwellings likely don’t have the infrastructure to make it possible.

      It’s the same problem that apartment dwellers here in the US have, there’s nowhere convenient to recharge.

        Yeah infra is the issue. Which is stupid as providing simple (16A) socket per car would be sufficient solution for most cars. You come back from work or your commute and just plug the car to slow charger. Over night you are charged enough for next day.

      The average real-world electric driving share is about 45%–49% for private cars and about 11%–15% for company cars.

      I would argue that 45% electric driving is still significant. Company cars not being used similarly likely has a deeper issue
