It’s almost not worth the hassle for level 1 charging because it’s so slow though. Might as well put in a level 2, and even then, you’re not often charging every night unless you’re putting serious miles on your EV daily. I’d say one level 2 charger for four occupants/EVs would be reasonable.
If everyone trickle charges every day it’s make a more even draw from the gird which is easier to supply. The equipment is also cheaper for the car/parking space owner.
Im west coast Canada where central heat is more of a new home thing, every previous home has baseboard heat in every room. This is true in condos and town homes also. So every winter the grid handles every non new single family dwellings use of baseboard electric heat. I don’t see this being an issueto have an EV that can charge in late hours or at lower draw if needed
2400W x number of occupants is still some series draw on their main panel.
Their point still stands that their mains would need an upgrade.

Places without heated parking RIP
