Yes, I know, it should be done in any case, but I don’t own the house. I’m not about to dump huge sums into it for renovations.

Far be it from me to suggest you move in order to be able to use an electric car... though certainly people have moved for less. At any rate, your situation is not common in those regions where electric cars would really benefit the populace--major cities and surrounding suburbs, primarily.
If, in conversion of a national system to electric vehicles, a small percentage of people still drove gas-powered vehicles, I daresay we'd still be much better off than making no change at all. And we can still look forward to improved electrical systems, batteries, charging systems, etc, to make this burden even lighter.
