The math is different on Kauai, but the thoughts and explanations apply here too. We need chargers at condos and apartments. (and there are many other workable solutions for condo managers who are interested)

“Install 14-50 outlets with lockable covers that owners can plug into either directly or using their own portable L2 charging unit. (EVSE) such as the clipper Creek LCS30.
This is a simple and cost effective way for strata stocks move forward. In many cases their are only one or two EVs in the complex and the cost of this solution is relatively low (as little as $2000) which might be actionable by the facility manager without a General Meeting of the council.
Billing a flat monthly rate of $25 (above any other monthly fee charged to owners) for use of the space would more than cover the average monthly energy use by the EV owner. The average BC motorist drives 15,000 km per year. The average EV (Leaf) goes 6 km on a kwhour of electricity. That would take 2500 kWH of electricity per year or 208 kWH per month @$0.12 /kWH = $25.00.
Research shows that EV owner charge their cars at home about 90% of the time so the strata will benefit from the 10% difference. “

At the risk of sounding like I’m explaining this to my cat, I just posted this in a survey about how to get EV charging in Multi Unit Residential Buildings.

“Install 14-50 outlets with lockable covers that owners can plug into either directly [with their car charging cord provided by the manufacturer] or using their own portable L2 charging unit. (EVSE) such as the clipper Creek LCS30.

This is a simple and cost effective way for strata [councils] to move forward. In many cases there are only one or two EVs in the complex and the cost of this solution is relatively low (as little as $2000) which might be actionable by the facility manager without a General Meeting of the council.

Mingus agreed.

Action. The potential for the decarbonization of transport gets better everyday with more manufacturers stepping up with their alternatives to diesel burning and NOx-spewing trucks.
