This is a much easier problem to solve. You can put solar wind on apartments and you can run outlets to the street. It just involves cooperation and a little group altruism. So... OK I see your point.

It could be done, with right incentives.

While this is a problem for you, it's not a problem for the market at large. As electric cars become more popular, landlords will offer outlets.

Anecdotal, of course. And I'm bitter because I wanted to get an EV. :-D

I live in a "green" (LEED certified at some level) high-end apartment complex built in 2014 just south of downtown Denver, CO. There are zero electric car charging stations in the gated, enclosed garage. If my apartment complex didn't have the foresight to build at least a few charging stations I can't imagine the hope of retrofitting on some 10, 20, or 30 year old building. Nevermind the vast number of apartment complexes that simply don't have the garage space.

yep. These are a great fit for some people, and not an option at all for others.

I think the country/world can accommodate BOTH types of car, ICE and EV. And "none" is also a good choice, in some areas.
