How can corporations effectively and efficiently deal with these complex issues? Having a full understanding of the installation process and preemptively bringing unit owners into the discussion around charging stations can help corporations avoid disputes and challenges down the road. In this regard, Corporations should assess options for installing a set of communal charging stations by the Corporation as well as have a plan in place for responding to unit owner applications for an installation. Ensuring that unit owners understand the process for installing a charging station before they purchase an electric or hybrid vehicle is also key. Regardless of who is responsible for the installation, it is recommended that corporations seek the help of condominium law specialists such as Scott Petrie LLP to ensure that the process goes smoothly and is in compliance with the Condo Act.
