Except that this is a pretty fantastical possibility. Tower blocks are almost completely located in inner city areas, where car ownership is at much lower levels than this. In London for example, nearly half of all households don't have a car at al, another 40% only have one, and only 12% own two or more. So how many of this 12% do you honestly believe live in multi-storey tower blocks?

In your scenario it's much more credible that there would be around 200 cars needing to be charged, and given that daily mileages are so low in cities they'd probably only need charging once a week at most, given average ranges around up around the 200 miles mark now and likely to increase much further in future. 40 cars a day needing a charge of around an hour on a DC charger in an estate of 6 tower blocks seems a much more manageable situation.
