Estudio normativo y técnico para la instalación de cargadores eléctricos residenciales en edificios existentes
The report identifies that approximately 80% of residential EV charger projects in Chile are rejected by co-owner communities because electrical networks are classified as common property under Law No. 21.442, requiring high assembly quorums for any intervention. While technical standards (RIC N°15) and urban ordinances (OGUC) provide pathways for installation, they do not override the need for community consent. Comparing jurisdictions in the US, Europe, and Brazil, the report finds a global trend toward recognizing an individual's right to install charging infrastructure. It concludes that the only scalable solution for Chile is a punctual modification of Law No. 21.442 to allow installations via simple notification, provided the owner bears all costs and adheres to safety standards.
