I want to buy an EV next year but I live in an apartment with no EV charging and I just moved this year so I don’t want to move again. I’m going to put together options to propose to my building’s property manager, which will certainly have to involve me paying for everything. My building doesn’t have reserved parking spots but there are some clusters of unpopular spots far away from the building’s doors where I can almost always find an open space, so the hardware could go there. All the parking is outside.
It seems like there are two approaches:
(1) Install a weather-guarded exterior NEMA 14-50 240V outlet near some parking spots, plug in, and cut the building a cheque each month based on the car’s internal kWh meter or whatever we mutually agree on.
or
(2) Install a commercial shared charging station that automates metering, billing, etc.
All else being equal, I’d rather do #2 so that my one-time expenses subsidize future EV owners. ChargePoint offers shared charging stations and is trying to market them at apartment owners, but I got the details from their salespeople and it seems like it would be much more expensive than installing an outlet and way more hassle than writing a cheque each month. There is another company called Blink but they seem to be in danger of going out of business.
Anyone know of others? It would great if there was some company that would provide a “full-service” solution that included installing and managing the stations, but I doubt there is. 
In case it matters, I’m in Massachusetts.
