The more I read, the more interesting this gets. What may be needed is more info about what's behind the HOA's denial position. For instance, the EV owner eventually indicates that he's in a 7th floor unit and the installation involves a parking garage. From strictly a technical perspective, there may very well be practical and electrical code compliance aspects to this case. For instance, shear distance a circuit needs to be run from the owners breaker panel say on the 7th floor to the garage, need to designate dedicated parking space close to where the plug will be, what precedent is created for future requests and how can they be equitably addressed, issues about abandonment of the charging facilities and responsibility. The cost and effort required to install a charging location could very well far exceed the surface issues apparent in the simple HOA vs. individual owner rights debate.
