Good luck with your Court appeal. The response by the body corporate on what they will accept needs some work but isnt completely unreasonable. The excuses by them are silly but the outcome is surely palitable?. Unless you plan on emptying your battery every day you simply will not need 3 phase. Asking you to gift the installation to them is probably normal, but then insisting that the installation is available to everyone and anyone isn’t fair. Future users need to reimburse you for their proportion. This is actually how new mains electricity high voltage installations work.
IMO, take what you can get now, install it and give them 6 months to get over the fear, and then ask if you can upgrade to 3 phase if you really need it. You could install the appropriate cable up front. You may even find legislation for these apartment blocks catches up by then.
The alternative is your Court system, so that should resolve itself by the time you sell your EV, and cost everyone a fortune.
Qcat doesn't use lawyers, it is where strata arguments are settled. Yes, the donation of the charge point is usual, the sticking point for me is that I then am responsible for the repairs. My long-term plan had always been to install a multi-use charging system where a swipe of credit card or some vehicle recognition system to lock the charge point and invoice the owner. The additional charge points would have been at the requesting Lot owner's expense. The current plan is to, "take what you can get now, install it and give them 6 months to get over the fear". I will chip away, and sound out most residents on their attitude towards basement charging. Then take it to a vote at the AGM to vote on it. The old adage, never ask a question unless you know what the answer is likely to be springs to mind.
