Out of 6 or 7 friends who live within walking distance of me, I'm the only one with a garage - one of them has a side entrance/carport, everyone else parks on the street. (And depending on exactly what "install" means, putting one in my rental garage might not be possible.) Further afield, I've got quite a few friends who live in high-density residential buildings, where their "garage" is a space in the big lot underneath the building, and has no facility for power (and certailnly not individually metered power).
Plugin electrics are good for people who own houses - not yet so good for everybody else.
New apartments (and single family homes) where I live are required to provide hookups in their garages, and as a dweller in an older apartment block, I get along fine charging overnight at a nearby parking garage. But really, it's not about you and me or your friends, it's about the % of the market that can be served by EVs. And that's plenty big for the size of today's EV industry.
We have the same discussion every time EVs come up on HN.
Though as it turns out, I _am_ part of the market that can be served by an EV - I ride a battery assist bicycle to word a couple of days a week, and I'm collecting parts to build my own homebrew electric motorcycle, I've got a running bike in the garage which I'm planning to gut of it's IC parts, and a line on a possible 2kWhr worth of Tesla battery pack cells.
I love my 16 year old dinosaur burning Ducati, and intend to keep polluting the environment with it for decades more, but much more selectively than wasting it on commuting.
