That's a city/building code issue though, they can force them to install charger even for rental units.

Also if you rent a home you've got outdoors plugs for sure, I tested on a leaf and it charged 25% overnight, enough to drive ~50km at highway speeds.

My daily commute is 75 miles (120 km) round trip. I could drive to work every other day or so.

Ok, so worst case you would have to use an actual charging station for 30 minutes every now and then or maybe never by just leaving the car plugged in all weekend (depending on which car you would get, the Leaf had a "short" range all things considered) IF you were commuting every day. If it's every other day then you can do it out of a 120v plug.
