Hi Everyone, I'm sure I'm eagerly waiting for my Model 3, like many of you. While I wait, I am trying to plan out charging for the car but I have some challenges.
I live in an apartment building downtown and dealing with strata will likely be a little bit of a hassle. There is a public charger a block away so not really that urgent.
Instead of installing a wall charger, I've decided the best way to get by strata and not have them lose our on any incentives, is to install a NEMA 14-50 near my parking stall.
Has anyone here done something similar (installing either a charging station or NEMA 14-50 outlet) in an apartment? If so:

Has anyone here done something similar (installing either a charging station or NEMA 14-50 outlet) in an apartment? If so:
- did you need to add in a new/separate meter to track usage?
- how did you lock the outlet to prevent thieves from stealing power?
- Any recommendation on a contractor that would be able to provide a quote for materials, labour and permitting (as needed)?
