As electric car ownership increases, apartments will be incentivized to install ways to charge them. Just like electric cars it’ll start with high end apartments and trickle down. This may also incentivize apartment owners to install solar on their buildings to charge battery banks to save money on electricity.
My understanding is that most people like that in those cities don’t have cars because mass transit there is actually quite good, and keeping a car is excessively expensive for something they’ll rarely need
It’s trivial to get a 240v circuit installed, even an electrician apprentice can do it with their eyes closed. Alternatively, you can install a battery bank that discharges at >120v while being plugged into a 120v circuit.
At home? Not like we are lacking electric outlets.
The problem is apartments without garages or without parking lots. See San Francisco, New York, etc.

Fair enough. One of the downsides of high rise buildings.

Yeah, go on and charge an EV with your slow standard wall plug.
