Their homes don't have electricity?
A standard wall socket doesn't provide enough amperage to charge an EV at reasonable rate if you use your car more than once or twice a week. Maybe this is less of a problem in the EU where people generally have shorter commutes, but I could definitely still see it being an issue.
I know multiple people that have had to upgrade the main electrical panel in their home to support an EV charger, because their older building did not have enough capacity.
Many people live in apartments and they do not have a garage.
You cannot connect a cable from your home at the 10th floor to a car that may be hundreds of m away.
