[quote=spdrun]FiH — the future is subscription in dense urban areas. In less dense cities like San Diego, people use their cars like purses or backpacks … they don’t want to have to fully unload them between uses. Don’t underestimate the pack-rat tendencies of most Americans.[/quote]
Hoarders in cars, haha. How about changing cars every 3 months? What if the subscription allows you to select a pickup, suv or sedan every 3 month period?
I have a car that I rent out on Turo along with my Airbnb. Works out great. When people stay, they need a car. If they stay longer, but not too long, they are more likely to need my car. If they are foreigners, the car rental companies quote them high insurance rates so they take my car.
The same will happen to housing in many ways, especially with millennials.
VW ID3. The new people’s car is out. I like it.
Electric is coming of age.
As far as charging goes I see commercial real estate owners leveraging their parking spaces to increase revenue or attract customers. It’s an opportunity to take away revenue from gas station owners.
governments could turn rest areas and parks into self-sufficient service centers with pay for charging and food and beverage concessions…. so many opportunities.
