This illustrates the problem some people have with charging EVs, even when there's no unusual construction or obstruction. A friend of mine lives in an apartment in a small town in rural France. She really wanted to get an EV. However, there's no off-street parking. She can't even park on the street next to her apartment, so even if she could persuade the landlady to install an EVSE or a receptacle, and legally lay the cable across the sidewalk (very doubtful), she still couldn't charge an EV at home. The nearest public EVSE is over 10km km away in another town, and if that one isn't available for some reason, the next closest after that is 23km away. So she bought an E-bike instead. That she can take inside the apartment to charge.
