This is a big problem in many European cities. Many people in cities (and just about all in city centres) don't live in a house, they live in a flat. And while the newer ones in very large cities often do, most older apartment buildings don't have parking garages. I think my neighbours would be mildly annoyed if I were to lay a 30m power cable from my third floor window to my (hypothetical) EV somewhere close to the house. Not to mention the strangulation issues for those nasty pedestrians on the sidewalk in between house and car. Having an EV-only inductive charging parking spot every here and there might help in the future (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductive_charging#Electric_vehicles https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductive_charging#Electric_ve... - it's coming), but probably will neither be cheap to retrofit nor very practical. This is an issue that needs to be solved for EVs to become practical here.
