The first way is to look for public charging posts around your home or community, as the public charging conditions in first-tier cities are more complete, so if you happen to have public places such as shopping malls, petrol stations and car parks near your home, you will generally be able to find public charging posts in these places. However, the parking fees or charging fees in these places are higher than those for home charging, and there are also some disadvantages to public charging posts, such as high failure rates and charging spaces being occupied by fuel cars, which require users to have a good understanding of the nearby public charging resources in advance.
The second way is to look around your workplace. Generally speaking, office buildings and flats belong to the core of the city, so charging conditions should not be a problem, and the 8-hour working hours are just right for slow charging of electric vehicles, but sometimes you may have to rush there early in the morning to get a charging parking space before anyone else.
The third option is to consider negotiating a rental (shared use) with the owner of a private charging post, as there are a number of private post sharing businesses these days, but it depends on your good fortune and luck whether or not you can successfully reach a shared deal. If this works, it will be much easier to charge your own EV, or at least more reliable than the previous two options.
Of course, the range and needs of pure electric vehicles are also key considerations when seeking external charging. Imagine if your electric car has a short range, say less than 200km, or a long range but you need to run long distances, then the number of times you have to charge it in a week will be quite frequent, which is extremely inconvenient for those who don't have a private charging station, so to get by, it's best to control the charging frequency to 1-2 times a week.
If none of these charging options are possible, then I would advise this friend not to buy a pure electric car, especially if it is a first time buyer. Overall, if you are not in a position to install your own private charger, and if you are using an electric car as your only means of transport, you are bound to face a lot of uncertainty when it comes to charging, so I hope you will have a few things in mind.
