It's no different in Sweden. While I'm on my second EV and will never go back I can't motivate it for people who live in apartments. To be able to use an EV effectively you absolutely have to have your own charger to connect it to while home, and very few apartments have that possibility.
Norway has way more incentives compared to us, which is somewhat unusual between us Nordic countries.
Pretty much all apartment buildings built in Norway nowadays have ev chargers built into the parking lots / garages. With a lot being retrofitted as we speak.
Yea, I can envision public parking spots around apartments having slow chargers - 8kW something, so the cars can be charged over night for a similar price you have at home. However, that would required government motivation (wisdom) first and upgrade of electricity network which isn't able to sustain such power. Neither is happening, not even plans. Our governments suck. Funny aspect is that Slovenia is a small country (2M population) and could serve as testing ground for such experiments. I won't even mention basic income...
Or a work place with chargers.
