13   § 3224.    Electric vehicle charging stations.
14      Notwithstanding contrary provisions of a declaration or
15   bylaws of a condominium:
16             (1)   A unit owner may submit an application to install an
17      electric vehicle charging station for the personal,
18      noncommercial use of the unit owner, in compliance with the
19      requirements of this section:
20                   (i)    in a space assigned to the unit and used for the
 1        parking or storage of automobiles, trucks, boats, campers
 2        or other vehicles; or
 3              (ii)    in a limited common element with the written
 4        approval of the unit owner of each unit to which use of
 5        the limited common element is reserved.
 6        (2)   A unit owners' association may not prohibit
 7    installation or use of a charging station installed and used
 8    in compliance with the requirements of this section.
 9        (3)   When the unit owner complies or agrees to comply
10    with the requirements of this section, the unit owners'
11    association shall approve the completed application within 60
12    days after the unit owner submits the application unless the
13    delay in approving the application is based on a reasonable
14    request for additional information.
15        (4)   In addition to such other reasonable rules and
16    regulations as the unit owners' association may adopt, the
17    unit owners' association:
18              (i)    May require a unit owner to submit an
19        application before installing a charging station.
20              (ii)    May require the charging station to meet the
21        architectural standards of the condominium.
22              (iii)    May impose reasonable charges to recover costs

24              (iv)    May impose reasonable restrictions on the
25        installation and use of the charging station that do not
26        significantly increase the cost of the charging station
27        or significantly decrease the efficiency or performance
28        of the charging station.
29        (5)   The charging station must be installed by a
30    qualified electrician that:

17              repair, removal or replacement of the charging
18              station.

18        rights and responsibilities that apply to the charging
19        station under this section.
20        (9)   Installation of the charging station shall minimally
21    require the following:

24        certified electrical product.
25              (ii)    If the unit owner owns the charging station,
26        the unit owner shall:
27                     (A)   Maintain a homeowner liability insurance
28              policy in an amount not less than $1,000,000 that
