Interesting, the Munger apartments have one to two orders of magnitude more reviews than any of the other mid-rise residences (e.g The Collegian, Zaragon West, Tower Plaza Condo, etc) https://i.imgur.com/8o7TnoL.png Wonderi

So if they're doing it the way EHI's been doing it: there won't be a need to recharge. I've received half-full EVs from EHI and returned them almost entirely discharged without any surcharges.
