Change in New Jersey Law Spells a Rise in Electric Vehicle Charging Stations on Your Property

Last fall, the New Jersey state legislature passed a comprehensive law that makes it easier for condo owners to install or access onsite charging stations for their electric vehicles. There are provisions in the law for installation of individual stations by unit owners — which then become their property and responsibility — as well as installation of stations by the property itself for the use of its residents. The law covers rules for homeowners associations and property managers, applications for installation, safety requirements, protection of the property’s assets, insurance and more.
