Outdated HOA vehicle rules deter potential homebuyers, homeowner claims

A homeowner in Florida is facing opposition from his homeowners' association (HOA) over his new electric pickup truck, as the community's rules prohibit trucks from being parked in driveways overnight. The homeowner argues that the rules are outdated and could discourage potential buyers from moving into the community. The HOA insists that the truck must be parked in the garage, or the homeowner could face fines and penalties. A judge in a similar case ruled in favor of the homeowner, stating that personal use pickup trucks do not negatively impact property values. The increasing popularity of electric vehicles and President Biden's goal of having 50% of cars on U.S. roads be electric by 2030 make the HOA's stance seem counterproductive.
