In New York, a homeowners or condominium association may not adopt or enforce any rules or regulations that would prohibit or impose unreasonable limitations on the installation or use of an EV charging station in a condominium or homeowner’s assigned parking space.
- An association may install an EV charger in the common area for the use of all condominium owners.
- If a parking space does not exist, a condominium association may create a parking space to facilitate the installation of an electric vehicle charging station.
- The legislation provides that if an application to install a charger for a home or condominium owner is not denied in writing within 60 days of the receipt, the application will automatically be deemed approved.
- New York legislation features a civil penalty for condominium associations that do not comply with the right-to-charge laws. In actions to enforce compliance, New York will cover the attorney fees and costs of the prevailing party for home and condominium owners.
