It seems like what isn’t really being said is that residents will pay the charger vendor a marked up fee for the electricity and the vendor will basically own their charging business for the lifetime of the charger.
Definitely a big downside, but the cost of rolling your own at an apartment complex and the need to get the HOA involved are prohibitive up front.
Also: without massive upgrades in charging infrastructure, especially in rental apartment complexes, you’re going to see a ceiling reached in EV adoption, because a big chunk of the population simply cannot rely on their next rental also having a port even if their current does.
