Electric Vehicle (EV) Charger Policies for Condominiums

Beginning October 1, 2022, condominium associations may not prohibit or restrict the installation or use of EV chargers. These entities may put reasonable restrictions on EV chargers, but the policies may not discourage or add obstacles to the use of EV chargers. Reasonable restrictions may not increase the cost of the EV chargers or reduce its efficiency or performance. The EV charger installer must obtain appropriate approvals from the common interest development association, comply with applicable architectural standards, engage a licensed installation contractor, provide a certificate of insurance, register the EV charger with the association, meet health and building standards, and pay for the electricity usage, maintenance, and other costs associated with the EV charger until it is removed by the homeowner.
