Realistically most people don’t need to charge often, most of the time. I have a friend living in a townhouse where there are no chargers, who recently got a Tesla. During a normal week, with normal commuting and errands, he goes to a supercharger about once a week to top off. Yes, it’s not convenient or as cheap as home charging and he’s there for 30-60 minutes but it is doable
In the case of apartment or condo complexes, where there is off-street parking, they can have chargers. The question is how you incent them to. I think that requires two parts: government incentives to help reduce the costs, and demand. Once there is a sufficient number of BEVs on the road and they see more requests, they see they lose money without chargers, they will add them. While BEVs are rare, or they dint risk losing money, why would they spend their money?
I’m not sure how to handle places with street parking, but there are several possibilities. It‘s probably a matter of pursuing all of them, including transit alternatives , since none will be ideal
