Electric vehicle ‘parking equity’ likely to change as more drivers convert: Roadshow

Q: I own a Genesis GV60. Like all Hyundai electric global modular platform (EGMP) EVs, they charge from 20% to 80% in 15 minutes. No need to wring hands over tying up parking spaces. After the initial period of complimentary public charging, we will all be charging at home anyway.Anyone buying a new car should get an EV, not an ICE (internal combustion engine).
