Can you force a condo to install an electric car charger?

Help, please! My condo doesn’t have any electric car chargers, and I need to be able to charge my car overnight. I’ve mentioned it to my landlord, and he doesn’t seem very interested. How can I force my condo to install an electric car charger?

That’s quite a dilemma, but informing and preparing yourself can help you force your condo to install an electric car charger.
Soon, changes to state laws will eventually force co-op boards to provide chargers for their residents. Until then, they will need some convincing. The first thing you’ll need to do is petition the Homeowners Association, as they are often the body responsible for the fees and overseeing the installation process.
Before approaching the Homeowners Association or the group in charge, you need to do the following things:
  • 1. Survey other residents in your condo.
If you notice other residents that drive electric cars, speak with them about your desires to improve your charging situations.
  • 2. Know your rights.
Research laws and potential
incentives
that you could use as tools in your arguments
  • 3. Prepare in advance.
Gather and structure all your arguments before you approach the HOA.
  • 4. Consider community EV chargers.
Find out if other condos nearby can benefit from a shared project.
Remember that forcing your condo to install an electric car charger takes a lot of hard work. Thankfully,
