As the percentage of EV owners in Austin grows — already well above the national average — apartment renters and condo owners are increasingly asking property managers and HOA boards the same question: "Where can I charge my car?"
AustinEV Pros specializes in multifamily EV charging solutions that solve the billing, metering, and infrastructure challenges that make apartment charging more complex than a simple home install. We've worked with Austin property managers, HOA boards, and condo associations to design and install systems that serve residents fairly, operate reliably, and keep the property owner out of the middle of electricity billing disputes.
Installing a charger in an apartment or condo building isn't as simple as running a circuit to a parking space. The core challenges every multifamily property faces are:
AustinEV Pros has answers to all of these — and the installation experience to back them up.
The cleanest solution for multifamily EV charging is individually metered stations where each resident is billed directly for their own electricity consumption. We install networked Level 2 charging stations with integrated billing software that charges each resident's credit card automatically based on their actual kWh consumption. The HOA or property management company never touches the electricity billing — it's handled entirely through the charging network's platform.
This approach eliminates the most common source of conflict in multifamily EV charging: disputes over who owes what on the shared electricity bill. Each resident pays only for what they use, automatically, with no involvement from property management.
🏘️ Phase-In Approach: Many Austin HOAs and property managers start with 2–4 charging stations in high-demand parking spots and expand as resident demand grows. We design all systems for easy expansion — the electrical infrastructure goes in once, and adding stations later is straightforward and affordable.
Texas law — specifically the Texas Property Code governing condominium associations — grants EV owners certain rights to request charger installation in their designated parking spaces. AustinEV Pros understands both the legal framework and the practical process of getting HOA board approval for EV charging infrastructure.
We can provide your HOA board with a complete written proposal including load analysis, equipment specifications, installation scope, estimated costs, and a phased expansion plan. Everything the board needs to make an informed decision at their next meeting. We've helped dozens of Austin HOA boards navigate this process and have a track record of getting projects approved smoothly.
For apartment building owners and property managers, adding EV charging is increasingly a competitive differentiator in Austin's rental market. Austin renters with EVs — a rapidly growing demographic — specifically filter for properties with charging when searching for apartments. Properties with EV charging command higher rents, attract higher-income tenants, and see lower vacancy rates among EV-driving residents.
Networked charging stations can be configured to charge residents per session or per kWh, with revenue deposited directly to the property to offset infrastructure costs or generate profit. AustinEV Pros helps property operators design systems that maximize both resident satisfaction and return on investment.
💰 Federal Tax Credit: The 30C Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit covers up to 30% of multifamily EV charging installation costs — up to $100,000 per location. AustinEV Pros provides all documentation needed to claim this credit.

"Our HOA board was skeptical at first but AustinEV Pros put together a proposal that answered every question. We approved 4 stations at our last meeting and they were installed two weeks later."
— Linda K., Austin HOA Board President"We manage 120 units in North Austin and added 8 charging stations last quarter. Residents pay automatically through the ChargePoint app — we haven't had a single billing complaint."
— Marcus T., Austin Property Manager"They designed a system that lets us start with 4 stations and expand to 16 without redoing the electrical infrastructure. Smart approach and very professional installation team."
— Jennifer R., Cedar Park Condo AssociationYes. Texas law gives condominium owners certain rights to request EV charger installation in their designated parking spaces. The HOA can set reasonable conditions around installation standards and contractor requirements, but cannot simply deny a request outright. AustinEV Pros can help you understand your rights and navigate the approval process with your HOA board.
We install networked charging stations connected to a billing platform like ChargePoint or Blink. Each resident registers a payment method in the app and is charged automatically based on their actual kWh consumption. The HOA or property management company is not involved in billing at all — it runs entirely through the network platform.
This is common in older Austin apartment buildings. We assess your building's available electrical capacity during the site walk and design a system that works within your constraints — using load management technology to maximize the number of charging stations you can support. If a service upgrade is needed, we handle that as part of the same project.
For most Austin multifamily properties, we recommend starting with enough stations to serve 10–15% of units and designing the electrical infrastructure to support future expansion to 25–30%. This approach minimizes upfront cost while ensuring you're not tearing out infrastructure to add more stations later. We'll give you a specific recommendation based on your property during the site assessment.
Yes. Networked charging stations can be configured to charge residents or visitors per session or per kWh, with revenue deposited directly to the property owner or operator. Many Austin property managers use charging revenue to offset the cost of the infrastructure over time. We'll help you model the revenue potential for your specific property during the proposal process.
Small installations of 2–4 stations typically take 1–2 days. Larger projects with service upgrades or extensive conduit runs may take 3–5 days. We schedule work to minimize disruption to residents and parking availability, working in phases when needed to keep spaces accessible during installation.
