Definitely a big downside, but the cost of rolling your own at an apartment complex and the need to get the HOA involved are prohibitive up front.
Also: without massive upgrades in charging infrastructure, especially in rental apartment complexes, you’re going to see a ceiling reached in EV adoption, because a big chunk of the population simply cannot rely on their next rental also having a port even if their current does.

As far as I know, in California, HOAs are not allowed to block residents from installing EV chargers. This is part of the “right to charge” laws.
