Reston, Burke, Alexandria, and Loudoun townhouse streets are full of EV questions that die on the HOA email, not on the National Electrical Code. We still size the circuit. We also document who owns the wall, the meter, and the parking space.
Key Takeaways
- Electrical scope: dedicated circuit, panel capacity, and address-specific permit requirements.
- Site scope: meter bank, shared garage, fire-wall penetrations, HOA architectural rules.
- Compare exact battery placement and operating requirements with the outdoor-only requirements for a portable generator.
- We do not speak for the HOA. We can provide the electrical description they ask for.
What we can decide on site
Panel capacity, circuit route, indoor vs outdoor EVSE rating, and whether a listed wall pack has a legal, ventilated location. Those are electrician questions.
