My problem is renting apartments. If you ask the strata or the building managers about charging points in the carpark, they look at you like you're speaking Klingon.

There is legislation on your side in California now. It's even called "right to charge!"

Despite that law, it can still be difficult to get a charger installed if the property owner or HOA is against it. In some cases the electrical work requires trenching across a parking lot to a carport, or upgrading the electrical system in a parking garage. Those costs need to be borne by the tenants if they are exercising their rights under this law.
