My neighbor asked to rent a parking spot from me for an EV. She was planning to set up a charging station. That would involve a double (220 V) breaker, outdoor rated outlet AND some 50 feet of 4 conductor cable, conduit and trenching. $3,000 would be ballpark. I turned her down because once my son gets a car, I'd have to take the spot back and she'd be out the installation cost.
I've heard the term "garage orphan". There's lots of inner city neighborhoods where the closest legal parking spot is too far to run an extension cord. Here in Canada there's a number of creative arrangements to run extension cords to block heaters in the winter if you need to get to work in a -30C morning. Bylaws can be an obstacle.
