Step 1 - I'm just looking to get a 120v outlet installed so I can trickle charge.
Step 2 - After dealing with those questions, see if they'll be willing to change to a 220v option + allow a charger to hang (outside).

That thread raises a lot of great questions, but doesn't have a lot of answers.
I'm sure there are people on the board that have been through this before. Anyone have a presentation ready that address some of the common misconceptions/fear/FUD around EV's?
How did you address safety concerns from the HOA? Did you have to get extra insurance coverage?
How did you control access to the outlet/charger? Were you able to find units you could secure with a lock/key? I know I can get a locking outlet box for the L1 option, not sure there's a reasonably priced L2 option that has any sort of access control.
I'd like to have a way for them to see for themselves how much power is being used. Assuming my utility allows it, does anyone have a good meter that they can suggest?
What sort of payment option did you negotiate with your HOA? I was thinking of looking at the average # of miles I've driven in the last 10 years, calculating kwh/mi, and maybe paying that. That might allow me to get away from the meter too.
What other sorts of questions would you expect from a HOA?
