I think college towns have their own unique housing issues. Few landlords near campus or on convenient commute routes are going to give a rip about whether students can charge an electric car. I see a lot of that here with similar new buildings going up. Some of them could provide it, but most certainly do not.

I think where a lot of opportunity exists for landlords however is in smaller rental houses, duplexes, triplexes, etc. Anything that has a garage or carport with electrical service nearby is an easy amenity opportunity. But I am also looking at this from the perspective of usually seeing at least one other EV on the road on any given day, usually many more. Model 3s and Leafs are everywhere. I can't imagine that many would-be used Leaf owners are exclusively home-owners.
