Colorado goes above and beyond in the delivery of its right-to-charge policies in several ways:
- Colorado is one of two states that provides context for why right-to-charge policy is essential. The policy states that the widespread use of plug-in electric vehicles can dramatically improve energy efficiency and air quality for all citizens. It goes further to say that the adoption of EVs should be encouraged wherever possible.
- Many right-to-charge policies simply reduce obstacles for property owners and/or renters to install and use charging stations. Colorado states that the primary purpose of this policy is to ensure that common-interest communities provide their residents with a “meaningful opportunity to take advantage of the availability of plug-in electric vehicles rather than create artificial restrictions on the adoption of this promising technology.”
- Colorado strives to create this “meaningful opportunity” through strong policy language and financial opportunities. Its policies encourage common-interest communities to apply for grants from Colorado’s electric vehicle grant fund.
- The legislative text also suggests funding the installation of charging stations on common property as a standard amenity for residents and guests.
