Schmidty,
Is there only one electrical "room" for the entire building? I would have thought that each unit would have their own "master panel" down there, similar to the one I have a picture of up thread. I agree with the poster who said that the HOA could swap spaces to give you one next to the place where you need to run the wiring from. In our building, the HOA has control over how parking spaces are assigned. The rules allow for the board to move spaces around. Your CC&R's or other governing documents should state whether space swapping is allowed. If all the power for all units does come from that one room, then the HOA board will have to take that into consideration. For example, what about the next EV owner who then wants to get a space next to the power room? Or the one after that? The board has to consider that possibility.
Feel free to keep posting to this thread, it may be a source of good info for others going down the same path. I have been insanely busy lately, but will try and keep up with the comments here. There is another guy in San Diego doing the same thing who PM'd me earlier today. Maybe he will also join the thread.

I would like to see more pictures of the room, both inside and outside. I assume on the inside every unit has their own main panel, so that each unit gets a separate electric bill. The question then becomes, how does the conduit from your main panel get up to your specific condo unit? Pictures of that would be good to see. Maybe the conduit from your panel goes closer to your parking space, so that you could "tap into" it at that point, versus say running an entirely new run all the way to your car. We almost did something like this, because my units primary power run from my panel went right by my parking space.
