Thanks for posting this question, it promotes conversation and that helps move the transition.
I'm on my second electric car. I had the first on for 7 years (135K miles) (original breaks, zero maintenance), the daily charge range was 220 miles. My new electric car has a daily range of 340 miles. I charge at my house and my office. The technology exists to plug into a charging station and the station will recognize your car (and account) and charge you accordingly. I've thought about the "apartment charging situation" and based on my understanding of construction and EVs, I would imagine apartment owners will provide the power grid to each parking spot and the grid will charge your account automatically. There could be a rule in place that your car can be parked in the space and charge for 24 hours (even though you only need 4 hours) after that there would be some kind of fee. The fee would police someone from taking the spot for a week. The cost of the power wiring infrastructure would be build into your electric bill. (still way cheaper than gasoline)
