Parking lots or garages typically don’t have electric car chargers today.

Sometimes a brand new garage here in the USA might have 2 designated BEV charging spots. My garage, which is a brand new building built in the last 5 years, has zero high voltage charging points although there are a few 110V outlets scattered throughout the garage and I occasionally see folks charging a PHEV on them. But most spots don’t have access so if you aren’t lucky and someone has parked next to the 110V outlet, too bad.

There's very often less parking spots than apartment units. Also they add a lot to your rent (100$+ per month in Montréal). Parking on the street is usually cheaper even though I personally find it inconvenient enough to pay for a personal spot.

Not usually, no.

Did you mis-read the comment? They said 'a lot of people', you're asking about 'everyone.'

Not everyone, but thats how trends were in recent decades: people moving to large urban centers raising land prices in those and areas around making anything but apartment blocks unfeasible economically.

In some places even single-house areas are being invaded by real-estate developers building multi-floor apartment buildings roght next to single-family houses.

Not everyone, but most Germans actually do live in apartment buildings [0].

No, obviously not. However, a lot of houses also wouldn’t have driveways. I live in a house whose front door opens directly onto the street; residents can get a parking permit for the on-street parking (though this is first come first served).

Here in Ireland (one of the less dense European countries), rural housing would generally have driveways, as would most older suburban housing. Urban housing would never have driveways, and a lot of (I’d guess most) recent suburban stuff doesn’t either. Garages are also not particularly common.
