… We also passed a resolution at this year’s AGM to ban charging of “(a) electric bicycles, electric scooters, electric skateboards and the like, and
(b) children’s electric ride-on cars, trucks, motorbikes and similar devices,

I applaud recognising the distinction between very low risk road-registered EVs and higher risk e-bikes and the like. However, e-bike and scooters can be very useful low-cost transport. Instead of an out-right ban, I would have recommended that a low risk location be set aside for their charging or that rules be put in place about only using the supplied charging equipment and other risk-reducing measures.
Even if unmetered common property power was used for charging, the cost of electricity for such vehicles is so tiny that it would not matter. All owners would benefit if a low risk location were set aside for such charging from a couple of common property power points.
