Apartments are rather ideal for charging, if the infrastructure could be planned for. Parking spaces with restricted access... basically ideal for having every space with a charger.
That basically leaves street parking as the last problem child, and that could be solved with lamp chargers like they do in the UK. It's all possible, it's just a matter of will in my view.

Assuming that the landlord (or condo corp/HOA) is willing to pay for the infrastructure upgrades. Also assuming there is electrical capacity.

Like I said, these are problems of will, not real problems. If you mandated that all newly built apartments have a L2 charger in every parking spot, it could be done. Retrofitting is much more expensive, but even that is not insurmountable.
