Electrical permit for EV charger wiring and equipment

NYC DOB says an electrical permit is required for most electrical work, including handling electrical wires in a residential home or business, and that electrical filings are submitted in DOB NOW: Build. A residential EV charger normally involves new or modified wiring, circuit equipment, and possibly service equipment, so the work should be handled through the DOB electrical permit path by a licensed electrical contractor.
