Something like 60-70% of all US housing units are single family homes. Though apartment livers and those without dedicated parking will face some hurdles as charging infrastructure deploys, I don't think it's the barrier that people make it out to be.
And as an apartment dweller, I've seen at least a handful of EVs in the garage of my building. They just plug them into the standard 120V outlets that are scattered throughout the garage. It may not be super fast, but as the Youtuber TechnologyConnections correctly points out, you can get 50+ miles of range per night, which is more than enough for the typical everyday driving.
We picked our current building in part because of the shared L2 chargers in the garage (fairly generous 10 heads for about 60 units) but could definitely live with L1 charging based on our daily patterns.
