Why is it so hard for people to understand how easily this small problem is solved? The apartments install chargers and charge you for the electricity... Just like they do for gas and everything else.

Are you aware that not all apartment buildings have parking spaces?

But the tenants have cars??

They park on the street.

Is there enough street parking? For all the tenants?

It depends on the area. Some people park their cars on nearby newer buildings that have a surplus of parking spaces, so not everybody parks on the street, but plenty do.

Are you aware that things aren't great for a vast number of people on the planet?

Well people complaining about parking usually aren’t the poorest.

Dude we're not talking about people who live in a trashcan ok? They couldn't give a rat's ass about cars or petrol prices. There's lots of people even with jobs that are pretty poor, and they need to have a car to get anywhere also, and their shit landlords didn't actually build any parking but they have to park wherever they can.

And even if they are complaining about parking, they still can't run a 200m cable across the street to their car to charge it. None of this is "solved", like people here like to comment, just because they just thought of it 5 minutes ago.
