I don't see a lot of apartments that have chargers and the ones I do see are recent and luxury and expensive.
In France every renter has the right to have an EV charger: if the building lacks the infrastructure the renter picks a charge point provider, that company provides a plan to equip the building, that plan is submitted to the owner who has three months to come up with a darned good reason to refuse it (one good reason is that the infrastructure is already present). After the 3 months delay the installation can proceed. There are also providers that will do the installation for free in order to get the first mover advantage. Of course it means the installation cost is baked into the contract prices but it means anyone can afford it.
That your country cannot do something similar is entirely on its citizens.
