A significant hurdle to EV adoption in urban areas has been mitigated in California by SB 209. I've pasted an excerpt and a link below:

"This bill would provide that any covenant, restriction, or
condition contained in any deed, contract, security instrument, or
other instrument affecting the transfer or sale of any interest in a
common interest development, or any provision of the governing
documents of a common interest development, that effectively
prohibits or restricts the installation or use of an electrical
vehicle charging station is void and unenforceable. The bill would
authorize an association, as defined, to impose reasonable
restrictions on those stations, as specified, and would impose
requirements with respect to an association's approval process for
those stations. If the station is to be placed in a common interest
area or an exclusive use common area, the homeowner would be
responsible for various costs associated with maintaining and
repairing the station, as well as costs for damage to common areas
and adjacent units resulting from installation and maintenance of the
station. The bill would also require impose
other responsibilities on the homeowner to maintain a
homeowner's insurance policy , including maintaining
an umbrella liability coverage policy of $1,000,000 that names
the common interest development as an additional insured. An
association that violates the bill's provisions would be liable for
damages and a civil penalty, as specified."
