Properties equipped with EV chargers are often more attractive to potential buyers and renters who own electric vehicles. This amenity can increase the property’s marketability and potentially boost its resale value.
Having EV chargers on-site provides significant convenience for residents, eliminating the need for them to seek out external charging stations. This can be especially beneficial in urban areas where public charging options may be limited or frequently occupied.
When considering the installation of EV chargers in a condominium, here are key factors to think about:
For the first time, the Department of Consumer Affairs (DACO) is addressing the provisions of Act No. 81 of July 2, 2014, known as the “Act for the Promotion of Vehicles Powered Mostly by Electricity” (hereinafter, Act No. 81-2014). This act encourages the use of electric vehicles by prohibiting undue restrictions on the installation of charging stations on properties subject to horizontal property management.
1. Communicate with the Residents’ Association.
2. Request the Condo association guidelines and check if there is language that includes electric cars.
• If it doesn’t exist, submit a recommendation for it to be included. Make them aware of the law.
3. Request the electrical plans for the common areas.
• Here, a specialized company like Velocicharge will help you determine if the charger can be installed directly to your outlet or if it needs to be installed from a common area power source.
4. If you already have approval from the residents’ association, contact Velocicharge to start the process of getting a quote and installation.
