Electrical permit for EV charger or EVSE installation
The City of Boston EVSE guide states that an electrical permit is required to install electric vehicle supply equipment for existing developments and that electrical permit applications are made through the Inspectional Services portal. Boston's electrical permit page also covers electrical installations, alterations, and repairs, so EV charger work should be handled through the electrical permit path and checked for service, wiring, utility, and site conditions before installation.
