Today? Your guess of a bit over half might even be on the optimistic side, 
considering all the apartment dwellers.

But it's going to be very soon, I think, when anybody who owns a car is going 
to expect to charge it when it's parked in its normal spot at home, even if 
only at 110v. Yes, of course, landlords will balk at first -- especially the 
low-rent ones. But, once enough people have EVs, not having a place to charge 
it is going to mark a place as undesirable as not having cable (etc.) TV...and, 
soon thereafter, as not having indoor plumbing....

The real challenges are going to be places like San Francisco where everybody 
parks on the street and nobody even thinks to put a car in the garage. But that 
city in particular is likely to lead the way in EV adoption, so I'm sure 
they'll figure it out...and I rather imagine it'll come in the form of 
overpriced parking meters....
