MF owners how are you going to keep tenants with EV's

Just musing ahead 10 years or so.

With states now mandating the phase out of Gas/Deisel cars  How are MF owners going to attract and keep tenants that will now have EV's in the next 10 to 20 years ? 

Of course home owners have no issue just put a plug in your home ..  And MF cant just put 2 or 4 chargers on the property. 

My initial thought is this could be a money maker for MF owners..  U buy the juice wholesale put in delivery system in your property set it up like Tesla Superchargers were 

the person charging pays for it on an app on their phone.  You make the delta.. 

Much like the phone systems used to work in hotels with the hotels making a nice spiff on guests when using a hotel phone.

or same thing with Power to other type of properties where the owner gets paid to provide the power . 

But something will have to give.  Its going to happen and it seems to me the MF owner might want to be thinking about this to attract tenants..

Quote from @Percy N.:

There are companies that provide this and I even believe some do a revenue share with apartments.

We had looked into this a while back for some of our properties.

Not a bad revenue stream and a nice little perk to have new EVs charging near the clubhouse/office where new prospective residents can also see them.


 I got to think if EVs penetrate say 50% of the car market in the next 15 years  you would need a charger on at least every other parking spot ??  a few chargers by the club house wont work as cars need 2 to 4 hours to charge with home chargers.
