Two Ways To Charge A Community

Built around how residents and guests actually park.

Every HOA, condo association, and apartment property balances the same questions: which residents get a dedicated charger, how guests and common-area parking get served, and who's accountable for billing and upkeep. We evaluate both paths against your parking layout and available electrical capacity before recommending a mix.

Resident-Assigned Charging

A single-port Level 2 charger at an owner's or tenant's dedicated stall, billed directly through the charging network for reliable overnight charging.

Individual billing & accountability
Phased by demand and electrical capacity
Reduces competition for guest spaces

Shared Guest & Common Parking

Dual-port stations serving visitor and common-area stalls, with network access, per-session payment, and load management built in.

Serves two parking spaces per station
Network payment for higher-turnover use
Signage, time limits & idle-fee policy support

Operations & Compliance

Signage, billing, and access — handled before the ribbon-cutting.

Shared charging becomes a community amenity the moment it opens, so we plan for what that means operationally: charging time limits and idle fees, network billing policies, ADA and path-of-travel review, enforcement, and maintenance response. For HOA-governed communities, we also work with your board and management company on the access and usage rules that keep shared stations available to the residents who need them.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between resident-assigned and shared guest charging? +

Resident-assigned charging puts a single-port Level 2 charger at an owner's or tenant's dedicated stall for overnight charging billed directly to that resident. Shared guest/common charging uses dual-port stations in visitor or common parking, with network access and payment handled per session rather than per resident. Most communities end up using a mix of both.

Do shared or guest chargers need ADA-compliant stalls? +

Yes. Shared and guest charging stations typically see more path-of-travel and accessibility review than resident-assigned units because they're open to the broader community. We build ADA and path-of-travel review into the design rather than treating it as a post-installation fix.

Can our HOA or apartment property qualify for incentives for shared charging? +

Possibly. Some California incentive programs specifically target shared, non-assigned charging at multifamily properties, though funding rounds open and close and eligibility rules change. We check current program status, including any upcoming funding waves, as part of scoping your project rather than assuming a program is open. See our Grants & Compliance page for what we're currently tracking.
