Seriously. I live in a huge city and chargers are still so rare. Even when they put them in new construction parking garages, thats like six spots with a charger for the entire garage of a couple hundred other spots. If you don’t have your own charger I can’t imagine a single landlord fronting the 10k to install one. Even if the laws forced their hand with it, thats just going to be passed to the renter somehow and we are already quite rent burdened here on average.

I don't know where you got this number from - a new 7.2kW charger is £400, and I'm sure you can get it cheaper if you buy several hundred of them. They are hardly expensive devices now. Yes there's the cost of installation too - but 10k is an extremely unreasonable number.
