A foreign friend and I was walking by a local community. Suddenly he asked by pointing over there "What's that over there?"

I said "It's a charging power house for the electrical autos."

Is my italic sentence natural?

See my corrections above. I don't know what the underlined part means. Here we just have individual public electric car chargers on the street. What you're describing sounds like some kind of car park full of chargers. Is it something like that?

Yes, you're absolutely right. We don't have individual chargers on the streets but we have car park full of charers.

I wonder if this sentence is natural:

It's a charger car park for electric cars.

Given that we don't have those here, I'd guess at something like "It's a car park [only] for charging electric cars" or "It's a car park full of electric car chargers".
