Tesla family, looking for you guidance.
I’ve had my Model Y for the past 2 years and have been happily charging it in our house, inside the garage.
However, we’re now considering moving, and potentially looking to move into an apartment building. All the apartment buildings in the areas we’re looking at, don’t have any electric car chargers available. Our realtor has suggested asking the apartment building to install one at our parking spot. This would be a charger that would be specifically for us and would (ideally) be installed prior to move in date.
Questions:
Thanks

Questions:
- Has anyone lived in a (large) apartment building and had a charger installed for them specifically? How difficult and more importantly, how expensive was the job?
- Are you charged per usage? Is your building able to find out how much electricity you’re using on the charger and bill you accordingly? Or do you have a monthly rate?
- How do you ensure no one else uses your charger? I believe many of these underground garages will be out of cell service and won’t have wifi. Have you built a lock box around your charger to ensure no one uses?
Thanks
