Wiring apartment parking lots will not be a big deal.  We just need someone to start manufacturing a reasonably priced meter that is capable of billing the user.  

Some building codes in CA are now requiring new apartment  and commercial construction projects to install conduit from the electrical service to the parking areas.  That will make it easy to pull wire and install outlets when demand appears.

I guess it is the minimum criteria for getting an EV, but I don’t see it as an indicator of potential adoption.
