Sure. I can also imagine Taylor Swift sitting on my lap, but that won't change the reality. If you live in a regular tenement block, charging your car becomes a problem, and you'll be the one paying for the infrastructure if it's not there yet (and it isn't where I live). Add these extra costs to the difference between a regular and EV car. Even if you're ready to pay, it's not guaranteed that other residents will approve that.
Apartments are for sure a problem area. In my last place we were able to trade parking spots to the one below our deck. We were able to run an extension to the spot below our balcony, but not everyone is that lucky
Yep, that is a major issue for many people in my country, as most live in apartments.
