Problem is that these places often don’t have available street parking in front of the building. It’s a public street, and someone that lives in different building often grabs the open spot. And in addition to that, buildings almost always have more cars than spots in front of them.

Sure, the building owner could put chargers in front of their property, but in a place like SF, the residents will rarely get access to them.

Charging infrastructure needs to be lead by the city, state, or federal government. Putting it on landlords won’t do anything.

Also, landlords in these places already barely maintain their units. Many of them wouldn’t even maintain the HVAC until laws forced them to. And even now, many drag their feet.
