Is the property responsible for the theft of electric vehicles in residential areas?

Legal analysis: if the electric vehicle in the residential area is lost and the electric vehicle is kept in the residential property for compensation, the property shall be liable for compensation if the electric vehicle is damaged or lost due to poor property keeping during the storage period. If the residential property keeps the electric car for free, then the contractual relationship between the property and the owner of the electric car is free, and the property can prove that it has no intention or gross negligence, so it will not be liable for compensation. At this time, the owner of the electric car must prove that the property has gross negligence and the property will bear the responsibility. In judicial practice, it is difficult for electric vehicle owners to prove that there is gross negligence in the property, and the residential property does not need to bear responsibility.

Legal basis: Article 897 of the Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC). During the storage period, if the deposit is damaged or lost due to improper storage by the custodian, the custodian shall be liable for compensation. However, if the unpaid custodian proves that he has no intention or gross negligence, he shall not be liable for compensation.
