Unless you're a 'garage orphan': no garage, driveway or parking pad, and have to park on the street.

Apartments (either rental, or condo ownership) may have underground parking with a few slots for charging.

Apartments are rather ideal for charging, if the infrastructure could be planned for. Parking spaces with restricted access... basically ideal for having every space with a charger.

That basically leaves street parking as the last problem child, and that could be solved with lamp chargers like they do in the UK. It's all possible, it's just a matter of will in my view.
