Apartment = Flat; i.e. in a multi-tenanted building. Can be anything from a small block to a sky scraper; could be a little studio, or a multi-level penthouse with a pool and heli-deck.
The VVE is Vereniging van Eigenaren, hence I put Home Owners Association as that is a comparable body. Ours is in the private sector, so no social housing.
The installation is paid for by the owners, and I'm aware of where there are occupants who are renting from an owner where the owner doesn't want to pay, and the occupant has paid. If you are there long term it is a good cost saving. So yes, the owners pay. My two spaces aren't next to each other unfortunately, as how our scheme works is that they are dual ceiling mount supply points, so an unwilling neighbour could get their install for free. But let's say it is a good demographic and there is no problem, my 'parking neighbour' came to me in the hope I want it as well so the costs are effectively halved. Most are buying in, it just adds value to the apartment.
And beside this one, each apartment can also have solar panels, and home battery storage.
The general solar panels come from the VVE/HOA service chargers, so our money again, but together with the building storage batteries it actually reduces our electricity bill considerably, and is sufficient to power the lighting, inside and out, and the garage doors, door access system, and the lifts. Payback is only about 6 years for that part. So a no-brainer.
