I rented up until 6 months ago. My main fear is (like everyone who previously commented) how renters and high-rise tenants will charge.
But to say 13 years is impossible is quite puzzling to me. I've seen an absolutely insane level of infrastructure set up in 2-3 years.

We can all agree that stopping 3x on a 12 hour drive to charge for 45 minutes sucks vs a gasoline fill-up. I concur on us needing a quantum leap in battery tech to make it affordable (hoping the $25-35k range). I agree that we're burning coal to power the EVs and make the batteries.
But I definitely don't think that generation infrastructure (nuclear, turbines, photovoltaic) and charging infrastructure are the limiters in 13 year's time. Cash is king and with enough money, we'll be done way before then.
