Condominium complexes often have trouble pushing through new investments like this, as some residents will push back against any new expense.

In my parents building the anti-EV expansion proposal was blocked in part by the people who already had chargers for themselves!




Yep, when I go to my annual hoa meeting for my condo complex, it's all very old people that have absolutely no interest in paying a penny more. I even offered to pay the entire cost to have a charger put in for my parking spot but it was shot down over concerns of having to drop wiring out to it.


In the UK (and probably most of Europe) there is already regulation requiring new residential parking and garages to have a grid connection installed, to be able to easily add chargers at residents' request (even if they're renting).
