If you live in a an apartment complex, and for example you are assigned two outside parking spaces, where exactly are you supposed to charge your electric car in the evening and overnight, so one is able to get to work the next day? Since we're supposed to be all electric in the near future, are charging stations to be mandatory at apartment lots and parking structures?

Near future? Not possible.

2035 projected. Not as near to me, but 13 years to a 20 year old is just around the corner.

Do you personally live in an apartment? Your post was kind of vague on that part… there is only one apartment complex in the villages that I know of and I believe they have some plug-ins but I'm not 100% sure.
Installing electrical outlets in a parking lot is not that big of a deal. I would assume when there is more of a need they will do so.

If companies REALLY thought electric cars were a thing, 7-11 would have built a car charging station next to shooters world, not a gas station.

People complain about rent now, imagine if ever apartment needed charging infrastructure and the electricity to go with it.

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.

Interesting topic with no current answer, however, someone somewhere will come up with a solution by 2035. Meanwhile…

Not practical to own unless you have your own dedicated charging station.

120 volt outlets do not provide the voltage/amperage necessary to charge an all electric vehicle overnight! My Chevy Volt takes about 12 hours of charging via 120 volts go from zero miles to 50miles.

By 2035 the mode of transport will camels/horse and buggy…

Interesting problem, and something I had never thought about. I have not seen any apartment type housing that advertised electric vehicle charging, and certainly not 'dedicated' for a specific owner. Enforcement of parking for electric vehicles only in public spaces seems to be s lost cause, and i am not sure any better for assigned spaces (think about handicapped parking).
Possibly someone from California may have some insight into this potential problem.

OP, if you are looking to move into the villages or the surrounding area, you will need to specifically ask to see if there are any arrangements for electric charging and then the arrangement s if someone uses 'your' spot.

Good luck with your quest.

This is a great concern if you what to, or thinking about a EV when looking for future housing.

When the subject of driving/owning/charging a EV's comes up, I can't help but wondering how the cold states
up north are suppose depend on this type of propulsion on Vehicules in - 10 degrees.

Imagine trying to evacuate FL during a hurricane in an EV. Hope there won't be power failures along the way.

Would need your own garage
