Addressing the Challenges of Installing EV Charging Equipment in Multi-Unit Dwellings

Larry

Hi Larry,

I live in one of the Century Villages in Broward County. As of last week it now has a single ChargePoint so they are on their way. This is a expensive way to charge a car on a daily basis.

I just need level-1 (v120 20A minimum) go plug my Tesla SR+ (250 mi range) into and I image a lot of EV's would do just as well with a Level-1 charger.

My question is if you know of a setup MUDs might be using that charges at the home rate (6 to 8 cents a KW) the unit owner of the EV pays rather that commercial or 3rd party rates?

We installed the EverCharge system at our Brickell condo about 3 years ago. If delivers 220v at 30 amps at a cost of $0.09/kWh, plus a $15/mo access fee. The HOA only had to pay to run the power line - the chargers themselves were provided by EverCharge, who also maintains the equipment.

This condo set up their own meters. The electricity cost to the association was low enough to only check usage quarterly. My $6,000 Tesla Wall Connector: the story of bringing Electric Vehicle charging to a high-rise condo tower in Seattle - Jeff Wilcox

Thanks for the information. I was curious if you had any pictures of the end result. All our parking is outside so I am not sure how it compares.

Thanks.

Great information and an interesting read. With our outside parking and a Florida 4 story condo building I am on the only 1 with a EV. I am going to have a touch time moving forward with this.
