Trying to charge your electric vehicle—but your HOA’s driveway rules won’t let you?In this 1-Minute Attorney Tip, California HOA attorney Michael Kushner explains how neutral-sounding HOA rules—like “you must use your garage before parking on the driveway”—can end up disproportionately burdening EV owners. Under California law, HOAs aren’t required to install charging infrastructure, but they also can’t enforce rules that effectively block you from charging your EV at home without offering a reasonable alternative. 🎯 What You’ll Learn in This 1-Minute Tip:✅ Why some driveway restrictions may have a discriminatory impact on EV owners.✅ What public policy and case law say about charging access in HOAs.✅ How to push back when your HOA creates a barrier to clean transportation.✅ When it’s time to escalate—and what legal tools you can use to fight back. If you’re being fined or threatened for trying to charge your car on your own driveway, this Tip gives you the legal firepower to push back. 🔔 Subscribe for more powerful legal tools to hold your HOA accountable. 🌐 📞Want to talk to an attorney at MBK Chapman?
