EV Charging Station for a STR
I'm considering putting a charging station in my STR. I don't have an EV so I'm a bit unfamiliar with exactly how these operate or liabilities that they create. My fear is that if my charging station somehow causes damage to a renters vehicle then I've just opened myself up to liability. Maybe this is an unfounded fear though. Does anybody have experience in this arena they can share?

David, is there really enough people driving EVs to your STR to make it worth it? I wouldn't think you could really charge that much more per night for having a charging station? Plus, you'd have the extra incurred cost of electric.
