What is your building risking right now?
Six answers, none of them technical. The picture changes as you give them — nothing you would have to look up.
Read against what we find in Bengaluru buildings of the same era. Free and without obligation. Our team follows up to talk it through and, if you want one, set up a site visit.
Your building
Who is charging
Approximate is fine.
Owned now, or on order.
Usually several times the car count, and usually left out of the sums.

Two-wheelers count. They are usually the larger number, and usually left out.

Common questions
Is my apartment building's electrical system safe for EV charging?
It depends on four things, and the building's age governs most of them: what the common-area connection was originally sized to carry, how much of that is already committed, how residents are charging in the meantime, and how the supply in your area behaves. Buildings completed before EV provisioning entered the bye-laws were generally designed around lifts, pumps and lighting, with nothing set aside for the parking levels. That does not make charging unsafe — it means the assumptions have not been checked.
Is it risky when residents install their own EV chargers?
It is one of the two arrangements that carries real risk. Each individual point is specified as though it were the only one in the building, because from the installer's point of view it was. Nothing coordinates them, nobody tracks the total, and the shared infrastructure they draw through was never asked whether it could take the sum. The other risky arrangement is charging from a common socket or extension lead, which usually predates anyone telling the managing committee.
