Panel backs bill to remove HOA additional-insured requirement for homeowner EV chargers; insurers and HOAs seek clarifications
Summary
The committee advanced SB 770, which would remove the explicit requirement that homeowners name their HOA as an additional insured for privately installed EV chargers in shared parking, after testimony that the requirement often prevents residents in multifamily buildings from obtaining coverage and installing chargers.
Senate Bill 770, introduced as part of efforts to remove barriers to EV adoption in multifamily housing, would eliminate a statutory requirement that homeowners who install EV chargers name the homeowners association (HOA) as an additional insured on their insurance policy. Supporters said the additional-insured requirement has been difficult or impossible for many homeowners to obtain and can double premiums, effectively blocking EV access for residents of shared-parking developments.
