Electric Vehicle (EV) Charger Policies for Condominiums

Condominium or common interest associations may not prohibit or restrict the installation or use of EV charger in a unit owner’s designated parking space. Associations may put reasonable restrictions on EV charger, but the policies may not increase the cost of the EV charger or decrease its performance. Homeowners must comply with applicable health and safety codes and architectural standards, engage a licensed installation contractor, and provide a certificate of insurance. The unit owner is responsible for the cost of electricity consumption; the installation, operation, maintenance, repair, removal, or replacement of the station in their parking space; and any resulting damage to the EV charger or surrounding area. Associations may also install EV chargers in common areas for all unit owners and members of the association to use. Additional requirements apply.
