    I’d be happy with L2 chargers on the street, where I’d pay the 6/hr for parking + a surcharge for the juice. Alas, they don’t exist.

    You have to go into a garage, pay a day’s fee (cause there’s no by the hour parking… if you live around here you know that). So I don’t want to pay $70 to park.

      I’ve only visited NYC 3 times. However I used to work at UCSF im San Francisco. As an employee is costs me $36 to park for 1 day. That was in 2008 and was for 1 analog parking spot. Fast forward 15 years later in a city that is many times larger you expect to be able to park a car and charge it cheaply. That may not exists for obvious reasons but I suspect if it did it would be taken by people parking and not needing to charge just to take advantage of the availability of parking in a place like New York City. Something something capitalism supply and demand.
