I lived in an apartment in Irvine when I leased a Volt. I had an attached garage and could charge at 12A on the same circuit as the garage door opener. Only problem was that the entire apartment's outlets were on the same breaker. I was in school so I used my laser printer a lot. Breaker tripped if I printed something while charging. Ended up speaking to management about renting another detached garage space. Cost an extra $100 per month, but got free charging and extra storage space. It also freed up the attached garage so my gf at the time moved her classic car in from her parents house as we were planning to rent a storage space for it anyways.
Biggest point of this lesson, of renting from Irvine Company, get a unit with a detached garage if you want to charge an EV. Unless they changed their policy, it wasn't a problem charging the car.
Of course, 120V/12A charging is going to be quite slow. But you may be able to reduce how often you need to go to a supercharger.
