I live in an apartment or townhouse complex without a garage. Can I get my landlord to install a charger?

In short, yes. As of October 2021, the “Right to Charge” law (Maryland HB110); check this PlugInSites.org link for some more information and a link to the actual bill.

This does not mean it’s going to be a simple request, mind you. You will still have to ask them, and there will be other considerations (which parking spaces to put chargers on, safety concerns if there are cables on the ground, added costs to the renter or homeowner, etc.). But it is possible.
