> The comment you replied to explicitly stated they live in an apartment, so at home charging isn't an option.

Why do you say that? Many apartment blocks have chargers, and in some places they're mandatory or going to be mandatory soon.

> Even if the building I live in adds a few charging stations, it's not worth the hassle to go fully electric.

What do you mean specifically?

Unless each parking stall will have an EV charger, you will have to share with others. That means plugging your car in (when it's not occupied) and remembering to go back down, unplug, and repark your car in another spot. When the charger is occupied, you'll have to wait until it's available. My condo does not have a charger and AFAIK there's no plan to add one any time soon.
