Construction companies (on average) don't look further than the point of sale. It doesn't matter if a poorly chosen element of design in an apartment building will potentially affect thousands of people over the course of decades, the incentive/risk structure just doesn't exist to make forward thinking decisions.
Its basically got to be in the building code or (almost) no one will do it.
I can relate to that kind of frustration but at the end of the day nobody plans ahead further. For various reasons, to be fair not even EV consumers and producers look much further speaking of ecological risks from the supply chain. It's a gamble anyway, hoping that EVs will not only look great on the surface. But that depends also on scientific progress, production and engineering capabilities.
On the other hand if EVs gets serious mass adoption outside of Scandinavia, I bet upgradeability of building infrastructure will become a topic and companies will make money by selling some sort of upgrade solution for properties.
