Unless you drive a lot, you can charge at home?

It costs me about $6.00 to charge my 60kwh EV, which has a range of 238 miles.

It's been a while since I rented a place to live, but charging infrastructure for rentals is a big issue.

You can't buy an EV if you can't charge at home. And you won't buy an EV if you can charge at home if you're not sure you can charge it if you move. (Not to mention if you think you might move to another state, not being able to drive your car there is a question mark)
