People do not understand how many apartments and condos there are in urban areas. Many don't even allow 120v charging. Luckily, these folk seldom buy BEVs. But they are your biggest threat, not existing cars that aren't using remote charging to begin with.
It will the falling prices of BEV's that will allow more apartment and condo dwellers to enter the BEV market, and that is your biggest worry.
I agree that this is a huge issue on EV implementation. At some point, I believe it will take regulatory intervention to force apartment and condo operators/owners to make available EVSE connections. It may be that third parties will own the actual EVSE and it would, of course be fee based.
Having been a landlord before, I can attest that they are not all a bunch of fatcats milking the peasants. On the contrary, with laws being the way they are, there are far too many units where the owners struggle to meet their financial obligations when deadbeat tenants are a problem. This makes it difficult to do repairs / maintenance / upgrades.
