Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Station and Natural Gas Vehicle (NGV) Policies for Condominiums

Condominium associations may not prohibit or restrict the installation or use of an EV charger or NGV fueling station in a homeowner’s designated parking space. Condominium associations may put reasonable restrictions on EV chargers or NGV fueling stations, but the policies may not significantly increase the cost of the EV charger or NGV fueling station or prohibit installation. Homeowners may be required to comply with applicable safety codes and architectural standards, engage a licensed installation contractor, provide a certificate of insurance, and reimburse the cost of any increased insurance premium associated with the EV charger or NGV fueling station. The homeowner of the parking space equipped with EV chargers or NGV fuel is responsible for the cost of the installation, operation, maintenance, repair, removal, or replacement of the station, as well as any resulting damage to the EV charger or surrounding area.
