I have seen this work, in my home country of The Netherlands, the majority of the homes are what we would call townhomes, a block of about 5 homes built as a single unit with only front doors facing the sidewalk and possibly the two end homes having a driveway or garage, so consequently mostly parking in the street required. For that reason, throughout the country in every city and town, every few streets a pair of parallel parking slots is marked EV charging and a small pole is erected on the sidewalk between the two slots. The pole has a card reader and two EV charging plugs. With the growing EV population, the number of EV charging spots will grow as well to accommodate those who cannot rely on charging at work or in the driveway/garage. I have also before relayed our story of living in an apartment for a couple months, where our selection criteria included the ability to charge my electric truck. We found an apartment where the manager worked with us, allowing us to drop a cord from our balcony into the assigned parking slot under the building (luckily the last slot, next to landscaping, so I could always tuck the cord away in a non-traffic area when not charging). That kept my truck charged for several months, besides the ability to plug into an outdoor outlet at work. BTW, this is exactly the reason for the recent addition of mandatory EV charging accommodation in new construction and remodeling. Cor.
