Moors Pointe and Village Homes are introducing updated guidelines to help residents install and maintain electric vehicle charging stations (EVCs) safely and responsibly. These guidelines ensure that installations meet safety standards, comply with local laws, and do not impact shared property.
Guidelines

- The electricity for the EVCS must be separately metered or metered by an embedded meter and payable by the unit owner installing the EVCS.
- The unit owner who is installing the EVCS must pay for the costs of installation, operation, maintenance, and repair, including, but not limited to, hazard and liability insurance.
- If the unit owner (or his or her successor) decides there is no longer a need for the EVCS, he/she is responsible for the cost of removal.
- The unit owner installing the EVCS must comply with all federal, state, or local laws and regulations applicable to such installation, maintenance, or removal. (Must obtain building permit with Miami-Dade County)
- The unit owner installing the EVCS must comply with reasonable architectural standards adopted by the association that govern the dimensions, placement, or external appearance of the EVCS, provided that such standards may not prohibit the installation of the EVCS or substantially increase the cost thereof.
- The association may require the unit owner to engage the services of a licensed and registered firm familiar with the installation or removal and core requirements of an EVCS.
- The association may require the unit owner to provide a certificate of insurance naming the Association as an additional insured on the owner’s insurance policy for any claim related to the installation, maintenance, or use of the EVCS within 14 days after receiving the Association’s approval to install the EVCS. The association may require the unit owner to reimburse the Association for the actual cost of any increased insurance premium amount attributable to the EVCS within 14 days after receiving the association’s insurance premium invoice.
These guidelines ensure that installations meet safety standards, comply with local laws, and do not impact shared property.
