Bit of a hot take here, but if you live in an apartment, you’re in a city, and cities shouldn’t require cars.
Not that we’re there now, most places, but I think not requiring cars is a better goal than requiring them and putting a million chargers all over every city.
For anyone reading this who has never been to Germany:
Apartments can also be present in villages. Some rural ones only consist of single family homes, but there are also multiple-family apartment buildings in some villages (no high-rises or big complexes of course).
So "if you live in an apartment, you're in a city" is an incorrect statement.

Whatever you call it, if there’s apartment-level density, that’s enough for public transit.
If there’s an apartment in the middle of a field… well, then there’s lots of room for chargers, I guess.
If one is lucky enough to be able to afford living in the city center and not in the suburbs.
And if you live in a suburb, plug your EV into an outlet in your garage. What’s your point?
