So! Just got confirmed for my new home, figured I'd update for anyone else looking in the area. Found out LOTS - there are a ton of apartment buildings that have EVSEs, but they really don't seem to have figured out how to serve people with EVs. This problem is highlighted by the new via6 building. Place was awesome and as a cyclist I love that they have such a focus on that - so when I found out they had EVSEs on site it was my frontrunner. Then I found out that they charge $1.50 per hour to park in those spaces. I tried to explain that if they wanted to attract people with EVs (and why else would they include EVSEs?) that arrangement didn't make sense even if the price wasn't 5x electricity rate - say I come in from a busy day with relatively low charge and get home at 7-ish. I probably need 6 hours of charge. I'm supposed to go move my car at 1AM? She insisted that $1.50 was a pretty normal charge - I pointed out that $1.50 made sense for an opportunity charger, but not one a resident is going to need to rely on regularly, but they didn't seem interested enough to revisit the policy- the person I spoke with probably had little input in that decision, but hopefully she passed the message on.
Centennial also had EVSEs and they seemed to have no limitation on usage; they were not assigned, but the rep said they were getting minimal use now, and if they ever had contention among residents they'd install more. This was all verbal of course, nothing in writing... but they rented out the 2br they had available the day before I got there, so I didn't really dig much deeper
Alley 24 charged $175 for any parking and EVSE was included, but they make no guarantee of availability and won't assign a space. They went on to say their parking was a 3rd party that made no guarantees on the EVSEs even remaining there or in working order... This might be a good option if someone is interested, though I'd recommend getting in touch with the parking management company (whoever they are) and getting a better feel for that, but I honestly just didn't like the neighborhood feel; everybody seems to like SLU but it was the least favorite of the neighborhoods I looked at (Downtown, Belltown, Capitol Hill, Eastlake, SLU, Fremont, Queen Anne).
Still, just the fact that they had them seems a positive direction, hopefully they'll figure out how to make them usable now
Ended up getting a nice rental apartment with garage; I'll just use 110 or install a 220 plug (just got my evse upgrade back, yay
)
