Supreme Court confirms communities cannot ban electric charging point installations

The Supreme Court has confirmed that residents’ communities cannot prohibit an owner from installing a charging point for electric vehicles in their parking space.

The ruling represents significant backing for electric car owners, whose expansion in Spain faces multiple obstacles compared with other European countries.

This judicial resolution removes one of the most common barriers to electric vehicle adoption: the impossibility of charging at one’s own home due to opposition from the community of owners.

The decision particularly affects residents in buildings with communal car parks, who now have a guaranteed right to install these charging devices.
