Except no one set an insane time limit of when everyone had to switch over from horses to gasoline cars. So infrastructure was bale to grow out along the slow pace of car purchases. But since the 1980s the amount of cars per family have sky rocketed and switching from gasoline to electric isn't something that will happen in a decade

Which you'd have to lay to run a line. Having to run dozens or hundreds of them fir an apartment complex requires a lot if money

No one said they couldn't do it. It's just that it isn't done..so what happens when you buy an ev and move some where woth no charging ? I am in north jersey and I haven't see a complex here condo or apartment that has outlets anywhere in the parking lot

Even still , unless they are 240v welcome to 2-3 miles per hour charging rate on a ev. Hope you don't plan on traveling far.

Lots of people lease cars that they can't afford and are basicly car poor. I was house poor when we bought our first house. Lots of low cost meals like pasta and bologna sandwiches so we could make payments while buying furniture and making repairs

For 2-3 miles of range an hour ? https://www.tesla.com/support/charging

Also not all renters have access to sockets. The last complex I rented at years ago had zero outlets in thier parking lot.

The less well of typically do bot own thier own homes.

More to the point people who rent in apartment complexes or own condos can't just have a new breaker put in at thier condo or apartment complex. Some places have large parking lots and would require a lot of work to wire all the spaces woth thier own chargers. Also while it's simple for you to get a 240v breaker put into your electrical box, what about an apartment complex that has a 100 cars ? It can require expensive work to support that much power drain and most people will commute during the day. That means all the load will happen after 6pm and before 9am.

Also in the mean time what do you do of you don't own your own home? Buy an ev and hope the complex you are renting at will put in a charger or two ? What about all the hoa fighting adding chargers and so on.

Like I saod this will affect the less well off.

It's an expensive problem to solve. Charging stations aren't cheap nor is getting an electrician to come out and run wiring and panels for a hundred cars even if it's just 120 then it eill take 8-12 hours for each car to charge.

I've lived in some places that have giant parking lots for the cars which means they have to dig it up to run wiring and create stations at each spot. That can reduce the amount of cars that can be parked which in some places would benillegal

You realize that parking garages do not allow you to plug your car into random sockets and most don't have sockets anywhere near the cars

Mist people who own a home or are Lucky enough to love some where that has chargers they can use you mean.
