Electric Vehicle (EV) Charger Policies for Housing Associations

A housing association (Association) may not prohibit the installation of a Level 1 or Level 2 EV charger for personal use within the EV charger owner’s designated parking space or a parking space accessible to other tenants. In addition, an Association may not assess or charge an EV charger owner any fee for the placement or use of an EV charger in the owner’s unit, except for the cost of electricity. Tenants must comply with safety requirements, registration agreements, and reasonable aesthetic provisions. The unit owner must agree to comply with design specifications, hire a licensed and registered electrical contractor, pay for installation and maintenance costs, and obtain appropriate insurance for the charger.
