Not much to add. Other than the IRS PDF is written is legalese…

    I kinda did this (but not really). The building had a few parking spots with 120v outlets nearby and they let me run a cord to one.

    Its quite possible there's something like that available if its outside parking and can't hurt to ask. Less likely if it's underground.

    Can come to a side agreement for electricity cost showing cost on app or via some other tracking.

    Generally you’re fucked. Also if you have an underground parking lot, in most places in Belgium, fire marshals won’t allow you placing a charger. Several colleagues of mine got shafted with the move to EVs on that basis.

    You can also try to charge on public chargers but that’s a lifestyle in itself. Several of us had to before the home chargers rollout reached us and it wasn’t trivial due to the lack of fast chargers around.

    Still I wouldn’t go back to an ICE ever.

    A buddy of mine has an EV at a condo where there is no way to charge, nor is there where he works. He just goes to a supercharger once a week or so.

    Granted, then you’re not saving time or money over gasoline cars, but it is doable

    Typically in those cases, you plug in at work, assuming they offer it.

    Alternatively, you might be able to get away with a simple level 1 charger if your apartment has a standard outlet available.

    You can talk to your landlord about making changes, but failing that, you probably want a hybrid instead of an EV. Electricity at ‘the pump’, so to speak, can be more expensive than gas and certainly takes longer.
