Colorado law (CRS 38-12.6-102) bars HOAs from prohibiting Level 2 EV chargers at owner-occupied properties. Aurora requires permits for dedicated 240V charger installation and encourages EV-ready wiring in new construction.
Colorado Revised Statutes 38-12.6-102 (the EV Charging Station Right law) prohibits HOAs and common interest communities from denying homeowners the installation of a Level 2 electric vehicle charging station on property they own or have exclusive use of, subject to reasonable safety and aesthetic restrictions. Aurora requires an electrical permit for hardwired 240V chargers through the Building Division. New residential construction in Colorado must include at least one EV-ready parking space per Model Energy Code adoption. Aurora Water and Xcel Energy offer rebates for installing chargers. Public charging is available at city facilities, parks, and many commercial lots. Blocking an EV space while not actively charging is prohibited on most public and commercial stations.
Permit-less electrical work is a building code violation. HOAs denying a reasonable EV charger request can be challenged under CRS 38-12.6-102.
