Electric Vehicle (EV) Charger Policies for Associations

Homeowner associations or condominium associations may not prohibit or restrict the installation or use of an EV charger in a homeowner’s designated parking space. Associations may put reasonable restrictions on EV chargers, but the association must treat EV charger installation in the same manner as any unit architectural modification. Residents are required to comply with all relevant building codes and safety standards and engage a licensed EV charger contractor. The residential EV charger owner is responsible for the cost of the installation, operation, maintenance, repair, insurance, removal, or replacement of the charger, as well as any resulting damage to the EV charger or surrounding area.
