Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.

Owners must cover EV charger risks and upkeep

Beginning July 1, 2026, if you install an EV charger, you must protect your condo association or HOA from all claims tied to the charger, including their reasonable attorney’s fees. The association can require you to buy and keep insurance and list the association on the policy. The association is not responsible for maintaining your charger or the vehicle that uses it; you pay for upkeep.

HOA and condo owners can install EV chargers

Beginning July 1, 2026, if you own a condo or a home in an HOA, you can install an EV charger on your own property, including your assigned parking spot. The association cannot ban that, but it can set reasonable limits on number, size, placement, and how it is installed on exteriors. The association may ban chargers in shared common areas, but it cannot ban one in your designated parking spot even if that spot is in a common area.

EV charger HOA rules start July 2026

The law takes effect July 1, 2026. It applies to actions taken, and to HOA declarations made, renewed, or amended, on or after that date. Owners and associations follow these new EV charger rules starting then.
