EV charging outlets in condos

Thank you.

Personally i do not have an electic car or hybrid car. 

I am however on the management committee of my condo and owners thinking of purchasing one  have made the enquiry. 

The post was a genuine request for information prior to our condo AGM. 

     It will be interesting to see how condo projects handle this.  My spouse and I have a Bangkok condo and, so far, there are no charging stations at the condo.  I think, though, as more people buy EVs, there will be pressure put on condo committees by these owners to have charging stations installed. 

    I'm not sure how projects will deal with the fire safety issue if they only have underground or garage-type parking.  The BKK condo does have some open-air surface parking and some of this could be used for charging stations; it is far enough away from the condo building to keep the building safe, should a fire occur.  I noticed at our last visit that some of this parking has now been blocked off so, perhaps, residents are being prepared to lose this parking to charging stations down the road.   I'm curious if any readers live at a condo project that has installed charging stations and, if so, where they were installed.

Lots of confusion here.

I have a 2018 S350d hybrid 

The current model is also hybrid.

The 2018 S350d is not a plug-in Hybrid, it’s what’s called a “mild-hybrid” with a 48 volt motor to add a little more power.

No.

Not unless the condo owner puts it there.

You only own the interior airspace within the walls of your condo.

 

 

I owned the parking stall in my VT7 condo,

Had a separate payment for it and I had a chanote for it

 

That privately owned parking stall was much more resealable than my condo was, had tons of inquiries to sell it.

most of the dc charging networks will offer some deald with the juristic person to share profit/rent but only if the area to put the DC charger in is accessible by the public, that measn guest car park area

 

even in condos with plugs in the pariing area for PHEVs, most are still doing the manual method of having the maintenance guy read the meter and add that to the bill, I've heard of case where some co-owners donate theri wall box + installation to the condos as to save them having to use the granny slow charger

The condo residents that want a connection should pay for it themselves. It would be wrong to make all residents pay for something only a few use.

If car owners have a dedicated car park, shouldn't be a problem to install their own charging connection.
