It's slower than for houses, but apartment parking can have charging points.
The parking where I live in Copenhagen has two spots with chargers, and they (like all the spots) are reserved for specific cars. I suspect the people paid at least part of the installation cost. They were installed 7-8 years ago. The electricity cost should be very low. This is no different to owning a house.
More recently I've seen commercial low-power (~7kW, standard three-phase supply in Europe) overnight chargers by apartment buildings, in the parking reserved for residents. Presumably people try and get one of these spots often enough, but as demand increases they will need to install more. The electricity cost is probably a bit more, to cover the overheads of the company maintaining the charger. If the spots are a free-for-all, I'd not want to rely on needing one every night, but it could be OK for a car that only needs charging once a week or so.
