An equitable way to bring EV charging to your community
Give EV-driving residents access to charging in their assigned spaces while GoPower manages usage, billing and ongoing support.
With GoPower at your property we not only bring charging but peace of mind through:
Personal charging
Each owner charges at their own deeded or assigned space, with no shared asset to manage.
Individual usage and billing
Every port is metered and billed to its owner directly by GoPower.
Scalable community infrastructure
A backbone sized for the whole community, activated space by space as demand grows.
Reduced administrative burden
No volunteer hours and no reimbursement spreadsheets. GoPower runs it end to end.
A long-term plan
One board approval replaces a queue of one-off charger requests.
What actually changes, in three moves.
Bring it to the board
We provide board-ready materials so the decision is a single, clean approval.
Owners opt in individually
Each owner gets their own port and their own bill, nothing shared, nothing pooled.
We run it
Billing, uptime and support are ours, the association keeps zero operational burden.
Questions HOA and condo boards ask.
Can our HOA legally deny a resident's request to install EV charging?
No, not outright. California Civil Code Section 4745 prohibits HOAs from unreasonably restricting a homeowner's right to install EV charging in their designated parking space. Boards can set reasonable requirements around installation and cost, but a blanket denial isn't legally defensible.
Does the association pay for the charging infrastructure?
GoPower works with eligible rebate programs to significantly reduce the upfront cost, and manages the hardware, install and support for the term. Final commercial terms are confirmed after the site assessment.
Is the board or association liable if something goes wrong?
GoPower operates the charging equipment, so equipment uptime sits with GoPower, not the association. This is different from a resident installing their own charger independently, where the association can be pulled into liability questions. On insurance, we can share how it's typically been handled at communities we've served, though your association should confirm requirements with its own carrier.
Is this fair to residents who don't have an EV?
Yes. Charging usage is metered per kWh and billed only to the residents who charge, through their own accounts. Any upfront cost the association takes on is confirmed after the site assessment, so the board can weigh it before approving.
Do we need to amend our CC&Rs or governing documents?
Usually not for a GoPower-managed system, since GoPower operates under a service agreement with the association rather than requiring individual owner-installed equipment. Site-specific legal review is still worth doing, and GoPower can support that conversation.
How does the board get this approved?
Typically a board vote on the service agreement after a site assessment, which also confirms any capital contribution from the association. Your governing documents determine whether that contribution needs membership approval. GoPower handles the survey, permitting, and installation from there.
What if only a few residents want charging right now?
Systems can be scoped to current demand and designed to scale as more residents request charging, rather than requiring the association to build out full capacity upfront.
Who handles resident support and billing?
GoPower does, end to end. Residents sign up, get billed directly per kWh, and contact GoPower support for any charging issues. It doesn't route through board members or property management.
Does this affect our master electrical service or common-area accounts?
Where available, GoPower establishes a separate dedicated utility account for EV charging, keeping it distinct from the association's existing electrical accounts.
Does adding EV charging affect resale value or buyer interest?
Buildings with EV charging access are increasingly competitive for buyers and renters who drive or plan to drive electric, and California's EV adoption trend makes this more relevant each year. GoPower doesn't provide formal valuation guidance, but charging access is commonly cited as a desirable amenity in multifamily and condo listings.
Is this designed for owner-occupied buildings?
Yes, the model is built for communities where owners park and charge at their own space. It works equally well for any units in the building that are rentals.
How long does the process take from approval to residents charging?
It depends on the site's electrical scope and permitting timeline. We confirm a schedule after the site assessment.
