An act relating to a right to charge electric vehicles at home

This bill, S.270, establishes a legal right for unit owners in Vermont condominiums, planned communities, and other common interest communities to install and use electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) at home. It voids rules that unreasonably block or restrict EVSE installation in units or designated parking spaces, while allowing associations to impose "reasonable restrictions" (e.g., cost or performance-related rules). Associations must process installation requests within 60 days (deeming approval if denied later) and follow the same procedures as for other architectural modifications. Unit owners are responsible for all costs related to installation, maintenance, repairs, and electricity usage.
