Virginia law prohibits homeowner and condominium associations from banning electric vehicle charging stations on a unit owner's exclusive-use property, though associations may impose reasonable conditions on installation and operation.
Virginia Code Sections 55.1-1823.1 and 55.1-1962.1 forbid HOAs and condo associations from prohibiting EV charging station installations on a lot or limited common element assigned to an owner. The owner pays for installation, electricity, insurance, and maintenance. Associations may set reasonable architectural standards, require licensed installers, and require liability insurance up to one million dollars. Localities may regulate public charging infrastructure but cannot override the state's HOA preemption.
HOAs that flatly deny EV charging requests violate state law and may face injunctive relief plus owner attorney fees.
