Multifamily and condo EV charging
An assigned parking stall is not the same project as a private detached garage. Ownership, metering, and association rules usually decide the path before amperage does.
Why these jobs feel different
AFDC notes multifamily charging often behaves more like shared or public infrastructure than a private garage install because of ownership, metering, and parking rules. Budget time for approvals, not just wire pulls.
Confirm before you request quotes
- Who owns the parking space and the wall you want to mount on?
- Is the panel accessible, and who controls electrical-room keys?
- Will charging be individually metered, house-metered, or networked?
- Does the HOA or landlord have a written EV policy?
Buyer checklist
- Get written approval scope before deposits
- Ask whether the bid is residential branch-circuit work or a shared system
- Separate “my stall” solutions from building-wide programs

Common questions
- Can I just hire any residential electrician for my condo spot?
- Maybe for a deeded garage with a clear panel path—but multifamily work often needs building management approval, metering decisions, and shared-infrastructure planning. Confirm ownership of the parking space and electrical room access first.
