So we rationing power like it’s a war?

We're already doing that with fuel. Do you fill up every single day after work? No, because what absolute psycho does that unless they literally drain their entire tank daily?

Or you think our apartment buildings have reserved parking? Man, what world do you live in? Certainly not a real one

Nearly all apartment buildings have parking in my country, unless you're living in a bigger city's center. If all you have is street-side parking, it sounds like your town isn't meant for car ownership and you should take public transit or move to a town meant for car owners. You can't have everything at once sadly. In a town of 25k people and no space wasted on parking spots, it can't be more than 5 minutes to get anywhere by electric scooter though? Maybe get one of those for your commute and you'll only need to charge your EV once a month.

I didn't notice government telling me when I do need to fill up or not. And I do top up about twice a week, because the cheapest gas station in my city is right on my way home, so might as well top up those few liters while prices are low.

And they are owned by the apartment building HOAs or by the city?

Thanks, I will make sure to tell the communist planners to include 4x as much parking next time I go back in time to the 1970s

Maybe get one of those for your commute

Can't exactly transport lot of stuff on an ebike, can I? My backpack barely fits in my basket.
