The Growth Of Electric Vehicles In Brazil Is Transforming Condominium Garages Into Battlegrounds, With Residents And Property Managers Divided Over Who Can Install Chargers And What Technical Standards Must Be Followed

The increase in the fleet of electric vehicles in Brazil has been causing a series of impasses in residential condominiums. This is occurring because there is still little clarity about the rules and technical requirements for installing chargers in garages, which has even resulted in legal disputes. In addition, the lack of consensus among residents and property managers has been making coexistence more tense.

Case In Recife Exposes The Conflict

According to the Brazilian Association of Property Administrators, all installations must follow the technical standard NBR 17019:2022, which defines safety and infrastructure standards.

Furthermore, any changes must be approved in assembly to ensure legality, safety, and transparency among the condominium residents.
