Its actually crazy how little is done for energy efficeny and EV preparedness for high denisty housing in the midwest US to me. There is just next to no incentive for most places because 1 they dont pay for electricty and 2 they dont have to tell potential tenets just how bad the bills tend to be in a place.
The EV preparedness is mostly just the lack of rent seeking potential vs any effort most rental companies are willing to put in.
Theoretically those bastards could be upselling power from meters they installed on the property and be making money from it, but that would require running a buisness with skilled and valued workers and not a constant revolving door of underpaid under trained employees.
