WHITE PAPER: Why Now Is the Right Time for Chicago Condominium HOAs to Prepare for EV Charging
Electric vehicle adoption is accelerating as vehicle costs decline and policy expectations evolve. Illinois law now requires condominium associations to allow resident-installed EV chargers, while states such as California and New York have begun imposing EV-related requirements on existing parking facilities. As demand for residential charging grows, proactive electrical infrastructure planning allows HOAs to manage capacity, reduce risk, and preserve property value.
