Wire New Building With 220 Volt for Electric Cars?

I'm looking into building a new multifamily building with separate garages (and electric meters) per unit and the idea dawned on me that while doing it, running 220v to each garage stall might be smart in the event a tenant wanted to charge an electric car as it seems like it would mostly just cost the circuit breaker, wire, outlet and a little bit of extra time. Can anyone think of any reasons NOT to do this? Only thing I could think of was someone using it for something I didn't want like running an oven, dryer or welder down there that could create a fire hazard.
