I think this is more of a distraction than a significant issue. I'd be willing to bet that the majority of "appartment dwellers" don't even own a gas power vehicle at this point. In many large cities, the majority of people don't have a place to park ANY car.
If you're not driving any vehicle, then the ability to charge an EV is moot. This article is out of date: https://www.cars.com/articles/study-shows-fewer-cars-less-driving-in-u-s-cities-1420663032385/ Since then Uber/Lyft have become extremely popular which no doubt has further accelerated the 'I don't drive' trend amoung the rest of the population, since now it makes sense even in cities with less effective public transportation. https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2016/01/the-decline-of-the-drivers-license/425169/ Note: I do realize that there are appartment dwellers that do have parking spaces and don't have EV charging, which is probably a significant issue to those folks. However, on a nationwide basis, the percentage of people who won't buy an EV solely for this reason is probably fairly small.
