That's... "technically" correct, lol? There's no reason from perspective of natural laws of universe one cannot install a charger in the parking sport of their 30 year old 30 stories condominium or better yet apartment parking spot. There are a myriad legal, practical, procedural, permission, process, safety, standards, and other reasons. But you're technically correct, there are technically no technical reasons :).
- theshrike79 2y agoI live in a 40 year old apartment and have been charging in my parking spot for 2 years now. I pay 15€/month for the charger plus whatever electricity I use. Would’ve started sooner, but politics (apartment management) was in the way. The actual technical bit was about 3 hours of work by an electrician.
- NikolaNovak 2y agoThat's awesome to hear! Whereabouts are you?
- theshrike79 2y agoFinland, we do have the advantage that every parking space since the 70's has had a 230V/8A plug for car block heaters and since about the 90's the minimum as increased to 16A to allow for separate car interior heaters that are around 1300-2500W. So charging an EV at 8A overnight is mostly just about politics (billing the correct amount), the technical solution is some measuring of the cabling (did the contractor use the good stuff or cheap out) and switching the existing pole for one with a metered one.
