Sec. 47. (1) Subject to the prohibitions and restrictions in the condominium documents, a co-owner may make improvements or alterations within a condominium unit that do not impair the structural integrity of a structure or otherwise lessen the support of a portion of the condominium project. Except as provided in subsection (3) and section 47a, a co-owner shall not do anything which that would change the exterior appearance of a condominium unit or of any other portion of the condominium project except to the extent and subject to the conditions as the condominium documents may specify.
(2) If a co-owner acquires an adjoining condominium unit, or an adjoining part of a condominium unit, then the co-owner may remove all or part of an intervening partition or create doorways or other apertures therein, notwithstanding that the partition may in whole or in part be a common element, so long as a portion of any bearing wall or bearing column is not weakened or removed and a portion of any common element other than that partition is not damaged, destroyed, or endangered. The creation of doorways or other apertures shall must not be deemed considered an alteration of condominium unit boundaries.
(3) Notwithstanding any prohibitions and restrictions in the condominium documents, an association of co-owners may allow a co-owner to install electric supply equipment at a parking space that is allotted to the co-owner and is on the co-owner's condominium unit if the co-owner agrees to do all of the following:
(a) Pay the costs for the installation, maintenance, repair, and replacement of the electric vehicle supply equipment until it has been removed, and for restoration of any damages to the condominium unit after the electric vehicle supply equipment has been removed.
(b) Pay all costs associated with the electricity usage of the electric vehicle supply equipment.
(c) Disclose to prospective buyers of the co-owner's condominium unit the existence of the electric vehicle supply equipment and all responsibilities of the co-owner under this section.
(4) An association of co-owners may establish standards and requirements for the installation of electric vehicle supply equipment, including, but not limited to, the payment of the costs associated with the electricity usage of the electric vehicle supply equipment.
(5) As used in this section, "electric vehicle supply equipment" means a machine or other device located within this state that is supplied with electricity and is designed or used for placing or delivering electricity into the battery storage system of a motor vehicle.
