Distrito Federal lawmakers propose electric vehicle charger rights in condos

Five deputies in the Legislative Chamber of the Federal District (CLDF) have introduced Bill No. 2437/2026, which aims to guarantee condominium residents the right to install their own electric vehicle chargers. The proposal, authored by deputies Pepa, Pastor Daniel de Castro, Dayse Amarílio, Roosevelt Vilela, and Wellington Luiz, stipulates that installations must meet specific technical and safety requirements.

Key provisions of the bill include ensuring compatibility with the building's electrical capacity, requiring formal communication with the condominium administration, and implementing solutions for individual energy consumption measurement. The project also mandates adherence to standards set by the Brazilian Association of Technical Standards (ABNT), local energy distributors, and the Military Fire Brigade of the Federal District. Additionally, the text addresses fire prevention, equipment maintenance, and technical responsibility.

The bill further details guidelines for installing chargers in public areas and collective-use establishments, allowing for commercial exploitation of charging stations. Proponents argue the measure seeks to promote the orderly expansion of electromobility infrastructure in line with urban and technological evolution.
