"Extreme" New Charging Law With $500 Fine Will Hit Thousands Of Homes in 2024 - But Electric Vehicle Owners Will Love It

26 Sep 2023 | Abstracted from The Sun

"Illinois Governor JB Pritzker signed the Electric Vehicle Charging Act into law, giving residents of certain homes [essentially condos] the right to install charging equipment for EVs in their designated parking spaces.

The unit owner requesting to install the charger also must be responsible for all costs related to installation of the EV charging system...they're responsible for electricity usage.

"Associations that willfully violate the Act are liable to the unit owner for actual damages as well as a civil penalty not to exceed $500."
