Installing a charging point in a residential community: steps and regulations

The law makes it easy to install a charger in your garage space, but the process has specific steps worth knowing.

Updated: 22 July 2026

Step 1: Formal notice to the community

Before installing, you must notify the owners' community in writing (usually through the property manager) of your intention to install a charging point in your garage space.

Step 2: Technical study of the installation

It is assessed whether an individual installation from your own meter is viable or whether a shared infrastructure that distributes the power among several neighbours is preferable. This depends on the current electrical installation of the garage.

Step 3: Can the community refuse?

Horizontal property regulations facilitate this type of installation: the community can only object if it proves it is technically unviable, not out of simple disagreement. For individual installations in your own space, it is usually not necessary to wait for a vote at a meeting.

Step 4: Installation and legalisation

Once notified and studied, the charger is installed and the corresponding electrical certificate is issued, if the power requires it.
