Can you force your apartment building or condo to get electric car chargers?

I live in an apartment building, and I want to get an electric car. Is there any way to convince or even force my building manager to get electric car chargers?

I understand your concern. There are a few ways you can get your apartment building manager to install electric car chargers.
What’s more frustrating than finding a great apartment in your ideal location right next to your favorite coffee shop at the perfect price. Well, when you own an
electric car
, you have other things to consider.
I suppose you can take advantage of public charging stations, but that can become time-consuming after a while. To make a perfect situation even better, access to at-home charging would be the cherry on top. But how do you convince your landlord to see things your way?
Know your rental facts
Find out if your landlord is independent or a part of a large corporation. Check if they are involved in any state or national associations that may offer EV resources. This information may let you know the spending budget and power these two landlords may have and how likely they are to move towards new charging stations.
Plan your approach
Head into the conversation with your landlord with EV resources on hand. Talk to your landlord about their benefits. Mention things like the willingness of EV driving renters to pay more to charge at home. And how the charging stations will make the property more attractive to the growing market of electric car owners.
