Completely anecdotal, but among apartment-dwellers, I doubt electric cars will take off as much as one might expect. I live near the Palo Alto-Los Altos-Mountain View border, and I've lived in two apartment buildings, one of which was just built (I was the first to move into my apartment, 12 months ago). My first place had no electric vehicle charging at all, and the second has a total of four spots, which aren't shared. I already have my own electric meter for my apartment, and I'd be perfectly happy to pay for a second meter at my carport, but I don't see that happening soon, and so that makes me wary to buy an electric car.

"For residential leases signed, renewed or extend on or after July 1, 2015, landlords are required to approve a tenant’s written request to install an electric vehicle charging station at the tenant’s parking space if the tenant enters into a written agreement which includes requirements regarding the installation, use, maintenance and removal of the charging station, requires the tenant pay for all modifications, and requires the tenant to maintain a $1,000,000 general liability insurance policy. The charging station and modifications must comply with all applicable laws and covenants, conditions and restrictions. The tenant is required to pay the cost associated with the electric usage of the charging station. The landlord is not required to provide the tenant with an additional parking space in order to comply with this law. This law does not apply: (1) when parking is not included as part of the rental contract; (2) to properties with fewer than five parking spaces; (3) to properties subject to rent control; (4) when 10% or more of existing spaces already have electric vehicle charging stations." http://www.kts-law.com/electric-vehicle-charging-stations-for-california-landlords/ http://www.kts-law.com/electric-vehicle-charging-stations-fo... It doesn't cover all cases, but its progress.
