Four ways to handle this. Two of them are not us.
Your committee has probably already had an electrician quote a quarter of our price, and they were not wrong to ask. Here is where each option genuinely wins.

When each one is right
Do nothingRight when nobody in the building owns an EV, and nobody is about to.
Waiting costs nothing until it does. The moment that changes is the moment a resident runs a cable from a common socket — and that usually happens before anyone tells the committee.
Individual metersRight for one or two owners with their own parking and a straightforward cable route.
The Ministry of Power explicitly permits it. It stops working when several exist: nothing coordinates them, each is sized as though it were the only one, and the sanctioned load is the last thing to find out.
Local electricianRight when there is spare capacity and four bays would cover it — at a fraction of our price.
A competent electrician running proper cable to a handful of bays with correct protection is a real answer, and we would rather say so than pretend otherwise. What you do not get is a system that shares the supply, a bill per bay, or anyone accountable in two years when a bay stops working.
Managed systemRight when the bay count is heading past what the connection carries, and billing must survive an AGM.
When the committee wants one name answerable for design, compliance and faults. It is the more expensive option upfront, and it is the only one on this page that actively prevents the connection being exceeded.
Work out which one you are
The answer turns on one number almost no committee has to hand: the spare capacity on your common-area connection. Both tools below start there.
