Don't let a lack of home charging options for renters skew predicted sales. It will soon come down to renters demanding them when they move. Granted, it won't be many to start, but if a property owner can get an extra $50/month for providing a simple plugin, that is pretty cheap money up front to make happen.

EV owners have their own chargers, so all they really need is an outlet. For many apartment owners, the power panels are right out front already.

I barely spent over $50 doing it myself for a 240V 14-50p. An electrician contracted to do a bunch of them could probably bang one out for well under $400 each under favorable circumstances. Worst case, they'd need additional subpanels and conduit runs, but even that is peanuts for the premium in rents a property owner might try to charge.

As a property owner, which would you prefer to having renting from you, environmentalist types with quiet cars, or noisy, coal-rolling, diesel pickup drivers who think it's cool to park on the lawn?
