I think apartments will add charging points like they did cable and internet. Drag their feet until the competition adds it. Once people are moving to locations that have these features, then the apartments will have to add them to compete to draw back tenets.
Not going to be as quick as we all know it would be possible. Battery storage (and maybe PV if the orientation/hours of sunshine make that feasible) and some connectors, plus a connection to the grid.
If in a location that has a highly differentiated rate for power (from day to night), it could be a source of income for the apartment. recharge at night and if by mid-day to late afternoon still have over 50% battery, sell it to the grid until down to 25%, then charge that night... with self adjusting algorithm, it will dial itself in and more so with PV, as that would give even cheaper 'rate' for charging the battery.
Plus, they would be able to put a surcharge on the power those tenets consume...
But most apartment owners will not want to be first, so it will take new construction or a landlord willing to gamble.
