If you live in an apartment, find out where you will charge before you pay a booking amount for an EV. Having a parking space is a start. You also need permission to put a cable and charger there, and a way to pay for the electricity you use.
Imagine that your parking bay is in the basement and your flat's meter is four floors above it. The car fits, but where will the cable run? Who owns the wall you need to drill through? Who pays if the shared wiring needs work? These are building questions. The car dealer cannot answer them for you.
Speak to the building manager first
Ask whether residents are allowed to install chargers at their own bays. If the answer is yes, ask where the power will come from and who must approve the work. Get the permission in writing before hiring an electrician. If you rent, include the owner in that discussion.
Next, ask a qualified electrician to inspect the supply and the proposed cable route. The electrician should tell you whether the existing wiring and distribution board can support charging, and what protection the installation needs. Kantipur reported provisions for private-home chargers when NEA issued its 2078 distribution rules. That report does not settle what you can do to shared parking or wiring today. Ask the building committee and your local NEA office what approvals your installation needs.
Do not run a long extension lead from an upstairs window or across a shared driveway. It can be damaged or tripped over, and it does not solve the question of whether the circuit is suitable.
Agree on the electricity bill
If the charger uses a shared meter, agree how your use will be measured and billed. A dedicated meter or submeter may be possible. Ask who will pay for the charger, the installation and any later repairs. If you move out, can you remove the equipment? Write down the agreement while everyone remembers what was decided.
A building with one shared charger has another problem: access. Ask how residents book it and what happens when two cars need it overnight. If charging is included in a flat parking fee, find out whether that fee will change as more residents buy EVs.
Try the plan on an ordinary weekday
Think about your usual drive. If you arrive home with a low battery, can the charger add enough charge before morning? If you would use public chargers instead, visit the nearest one and find out its opening hours, price and plug type. Count the time you would spend there each week.
You do not need the fastest home charger. You need a charging arrangement you are allowed to use and can rely on. Settle that before choosing the car.
