This will be a huge problem. Most apartment complexes don't have assigned parking spaces, and couldn't enforce it without a lot of towing. Imagine if half the vehicles in a large complex were electric. How would you prevent someone with a gasoline vehicle from parking in a space with a charging outlet? I have lived in apartment complexes where, if you didn't get home by 10 PM, you had to park on the street about a block away.
