In the US, most apartment dwellers park in a garage, which can and will be retrofitted with chargers. Street parking is the major challenge. In Park Slope Brooklyn, I often see a lone cable coming out of a brownstone out to a Tesla on the street. :-)

What is your stats for most apartment people Park in a garage? Where I live garages cost a hefty amount extra and the apartment complex doesn't even have enough for more than a quarter of the residents anyway

Most of the US has aggressive parking minimums.

We have plenty of outside parking. I've just never seen majority garage parking

LA is notorious for their parking minimums (two car spots for a two bedroom apartment), Seattle in contrast lacks parking minimums at all.

It's lower for renters (who are more likely in an apartment), but it's still overall decently high.

Every apartment I've lived in had a garage or carport that could easily have had a charger installed (and probably does, by now).
