EV charging in townhome communities
👋🏻 my wife and I are moving to Columbia soon, (side note, it’s been a dream location of ours, we are super excited to join the community 🥳)
tldr: looking for tips and feedback on people’s experience dealing with EV charging in Columbia communities w/o a personal garage or ability to install one out front.
Context:
One complicating factor with our move is that we have a bolt (full EV) and we are moving to a townhome community by lake elkhorn. We are losing our easy access to charger. We anticipated this and figured worst case scenario we should be able to trade it in without too much of a blow if nothing else.
I noticed the nearby library had a decent number of chargers, but they’ve regularly been in use. I guess it’s safe-ish enough to leave overnight? I wouldn’t mind dropping it there and walking to and from occasionally but I imagine it gets competitive.
The hoa community we are moving to doesn’t have anything at the moment AFAIK, and I would assume that’s an uphill battle. Also assuming we won’t be able to do a level one charging cord since we’d have to run it across the sidewalk. We don’t have access to one at our work locations.
