Homeowner Associations
Get ready for new sustainable transportation.
Many of your homeowner association members are going to be purchasing a plug-in vehicle in the coming years, and they will need to have a way to charge their vehicles at home. As a homeowner association, you can start preparing and identifying the best solutions for your members. To begin, you may talk with your members, building managers, and the utilities to gather the necessary information. You can then decide on the best ways to offer this service for your members and give them options to choose from.
Benefits for Homeowner Associations
- Member benefit
Your members will need charging infrastructure to be able to purchase an electric vehicle. They will be happy to pay some of the costs involved in establishing the infrastructure, and of course they will pay for the electricity consumed to charge their vehicle.
- Property value increase
Charging infrastructure availability will soon be a feature that potential buyers take into account when deciding on their next home. Providing charging infrastructure at your buildings can be one way to attract potential buyers and increase the value of the units while providing a valuable service for your members.
- Green credentials and publicity
By providing charging options you can show leadership in supporting sustainable transportation options.
Action items:
- Talk with your members and survey how many are looking at purchasing an EV or PHEV in the next five years. Remember that since the technology is so new, most of them don’t have enough information available to feel comfortable even considering buying one.
- Talk with your building manager and the utilities and see how they could help you to find the right solutions. Refer your building manager to the Building Owners/Managers page on MultiHousingCharging.com
