Your right by law

The regulations that let you install without the community's permission

Article 17.5 of Spain's Horizontal Property Law (LPH) recognises the right of any owner to install a charging point in their privately used parking space. There's no need to put it to a board vote: you simply need to notify the president or the property manager in advance, in writing, describing the installation to be carried out.

The community cannot block the installation if it meets the technical regulations, although it can set reasonable conditions on how the work is carried out (timing, protection of shared areas while wiring is run, etc.). There is also case law favourable to the owner even when the cable needs to run through shared elements of the garage to reach their space , provided the installation is technically sound and causes no real detriment to the community.

We make sure your installation complies with what the law requires from the very start, so notifying your community is a formality rather than a problem.

The process

How to handle it with your community, step by step

Step 1

Site visit

We assess your space, the distance to the electrical panel, and whether an individual circuit or collective installation is the better fit.

Step 2

Notice to the community

We help you draft and send the prior notice to the property manager or president, in line with art. 17.5 LPH.

Step 3

Installation

We install the charger with the required protections and process the certificate (Electrical Installation Certificate).

Step 4

Registration and commissioning

We arrange registration of the new point with the grid operator where needed, and check that everything works.

Not sure what to tell your community yet?

The prior notice needs to identify you as the owner of the space, briefly describe the installation (power output, cable route, whether it affects shared areas) and record the date it was sent, usually by registered post or email to the property manager with proof of receipt. When you request a quote, we give you a ready-drafted notice template to adapt to your case, so you don't have to start from scratch.

Cost and consumption

Who pays for the installation and how consumption is measured

The cost of installing the charging point is borne by the owner who requests it, never by the community. The community only bears a cost if, by voluntary agreement of the board, it decides to install collective infrastructure for several spaces on its own initiative — something different from the individual right granted by art. 17.5 LPH.

Consumption is always measured individually: from your own meter, from a sub-meter linked to your supply, or from a satellite meter if you connect to a collective installation. In any of these three cases, you pay exactly for the electricity your car uses, not a proportional split among all the neighbours in the garage.

The equipment

Types of installation in a community garage

We choose the option based on how your garage is laid out and how many neighbours might want a charger in future.

Individual circuit

A dedicated cable runs from your own meter (or from the main panel, with a new individual meter) to your space. Each owner pays exactly for their own consumption, with an independent bill. It's the simplest and most common solution when only one or a few neighbours are installing a charger.

Collective installation

The community prepares a main conduit with capacity for several charging points. Each owner who wants a charger connects to that infrastructure via their own satellite meter. It's more cost-effective when several neighbours are expected to want a charger over time, as it avoids repeating work in shared areas.

When several chargers share the same supply, we install a dynamic load-balancing system that automatically reduces each point's output if needed, so no neighbour is left without power when several cars charge at once.

Pricing

Indicative price for installing a charger in a community garage

Indicative market prices, heavily influenced by the distance between your space and the electrical panel. We give you the final quote in writing after the site visit.

Individual circuit

€900 – €1,800up to 15-20 m from the panel

The most common option when your space is a reasonable distance from the main panel.

Circuit with a long run

From €1,800over 20 m or with building work

If your space is far from the meter, the price rises due to the length of cable and conduit.

Collective installation

Custom quoteinfrastructure for several spaces

Main conduit prepared for several points; each neighbour later pays for their own connection.

Grants and subsidies

Can you get a grant for your charger in a community garage?

The MOVES plan for charging point installation closed on 31 December 2025 and no longer accepts applications. What you can still apply, if you own the space, is the 15% personal income tax (IRPF) deduction (up to €600 on a maximum base of €4,000) for your individual installation, valid until 31 December 2026.

We give you the paperwork ready

We hand over the invoice and certificate (CIE) so you can take them to your tax adviser and confirm your installation meets the deduction requirements.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about community garages

Yes, but a standard socket wired into a lighting or shared-services circuit won't do: you need an installation specifically for an electric vehicle, with its own protection and, with few exceptions, an individual consumption meter. That's what we install: a certified charging point, not an improvised socket.
You don't need the board's approval. Article 17.5 of Spain's Horizontal Property Law allows you to install a charging point in a privately used parking space with simple prior notice to the community, with no need to put it to a vote.
It depends on the distance between your space and the electrical panel, and whether it's an individual circuit or a shared collective installation. Check the indicative ranges in our pricing section. We always give you a fixed price in writing after the site visit.
It's paid for by the owner who requests the charging point for their space. The community only bears the cost if, by voluntary agreement of the board, it decides to install shared infrastructure for several spaces.
If an individual circuit would be too far or too expensive, we look at a collective installation: a main conduit prepared for several points, from which each owner connects via their own satellite meter. During the site visit we tell you which option best fits your garage.
It cannot refuse if the installation complies with the technical regulations and respects shared elements. It can set reasonable conditions on how and when the work is carried out, but it cannot block the installation itself.
Prior notice doesn't have a mandatory waiting period: as soon as you send it, you can start the installation. Between the site visit and having the charger up and running with its certificate usually takes between 1 and 2 weeks, unless a collective installation requiring board approval is chosen instead.
