EV Charging: what each state's HOA law says
Key provisions from 4 official statutes. Every entry comes from the statute's own wording; open a statute for the exact quote and full text.
| Jurisdiction | Can the HOA ban it? | Restrictions the HOA may set | Approval deadline | Who pays | Insurance required | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Illinois | No separate entry | HOA can require architectural standards and licensed contractors. | Application deemed approved if not denied in writing within 60 days. | Owner pays installation, electricity, maintenance, and damage costs. | No separate entry | 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 1085/30 |
| Maryland | No, not if it effectively prohibits or unreasonably restricts | Must process applications like architectural modifications | 60 days after the governing body receives it | Lot owner pays installation, maintenance, electricity, and related costs | No separate entry | Md. Code, Real Prop. 11B-111.8 |
| Oregon | No, not if it complies with the law | Architectural standards, reasonable fees, and limits that don't raise cost or lower performance | 60 days after completed application submitted | Owner pays all installation, use, electricity, and damage costs | $1 million liability insurance if not certified product | Or. Rev. Stat. 94.762 |
| Virginia | No, unless the declaration or recorded governing document says otherwise | Reasonable restrictions on number, size, place, and manner of installation | No separate entry | Lot owner pays liability and attorney fees from claims | No separate entry | Va. Code 55.1-1823.1 |
A dash means we have no separate entry for that column. It does not mean the law is silent: the point may be covered in another column or elsewhere in the statute, so open the statute for its full text.
