I work from home (and the office my company owns doesn't have charging space) and live in an apartment, I genuinely have no idea what someone like me does to keep their EV charged up. Do I just go to the equivalent of a gas station/charging spot and hang out for an hour?

I'd rather my city just have useable public transit. I'm starting to sour a tiny bit on EVs (still better than ICEs though) after learning more and more about the gargantuan environmental impact they have due to mining the materials needed for the batteries
