Is it illegal to charge electric vehicles in residential areas?

Legal analysis: It is illegal to charge electric vehicles in residential areas, which will not only cause potential safety hazards, but also seriously endanger people's lives and property. It also violated the fire protection law in law. Because there is a fire safety hazard when electric vehicles are charged with cables in residential areas, it also hinders the escape and evacuation of people in case of fire. Belonging to the scope of property management, you can go to the property or community neighborhood Committee to respond. Owners charge fees in public areas of residential areas, and property personnel need to stop them. This is part of order management. If it is invalid, the property enterprise shall report to the management departments such as fire protection, public security and community and put it on record. Where there are other provisions in the law, those provisions shall prevail.

Legal basis: railways, highways, ports, airports, roads, green spaces, power transmission and distribution facilities and transmission line corridors, communication facilities, radio and television facilities, pipeline facilities, rivers, reservoirs, water sources, nature reserves, flood control passages, fire exits, nuclear power plants, garbage landfills and incinerators, sewage treatment plants and public facilities as stipulated in Article 35 of People's Republic of China (PRC) Urban and Rural Planning Law.
