In Germany new residential buildings have to be built with parking space for the residents, and I now often see those either having chargers or being planned with the later addition of chargers in mind. Condo buyers also see this as a selling point, so there is market pressure (not sure how this looks on the landlord/tenant side yet).

But we have lots of residential buildings from the 50s and 60s still used, so it will take a couple decades for that to really have the required effect. My guess is that parking spaces with chargers will become a differentiator for shops and employers within the next 15 years.
