The easy part is buying the EV. The hard part can be where you park it.
If you own a house with a garage, you call an electrician.
If you live in a condo, HOA or apartment, someone else may control your parking space, the wiring and the approval. The hard part is the last 100 feet between the building's power and your parking spot.

Why your parking space matters
The path depends on who controls the space and the wiring.
- Private garageUsually you, an electrician and a permit.→
- Assigned condo spaceBoard approval and building power.→
- CarportCovered, but often common property.→
- Common parkingNo single space is yours to wire.→
- Apartment garageYour landlord decides, and some states give you rights.→
- Townhome or HOAThe HOA may only care about the outside.→
How we treat what we don't know
You don't need to know everything.
Every answer separates what's known from what still needs checking. Nothing gets guessed.
Your answers are taken as given, never second-guessed.
If something can't be known yet, we say so plainly.
Each gap becomes a specific thing to find out.
For condos & HOAs
Built for boards and managers too.
Boards and managers get the same clear path: parking, rights, approval, power, cost and next steps, without pretending every building has the same wiring or the same rules.
