This is the most reasonable solution as far as I’m concerned. There are still challenges related to this he electrical service the building is provided. For example you may find the building doesn’t really have enough energy to provide every spot L2 charging.

1 L3 spot doing 150kW translates to ~15 L2 spots or ~100 L1 spots.

For the same power distribution, an apartment complex could easily do several L2 spots and L1 for everything else.

With my 11 mile commute, L1 was almost viable (catching up on charge over the weekend).

If both work and apartments had L1, that'd be enough for most people commuting.

There are load management/load sharing products available for EV chargers today. Here’s a white paper from Eaton: https://www.eaton.com/content/dam/eaton/products/emobility/e...
