Electrical permit for EV charger wiring or equipment
SDCI says an electrical permit is needed any time electrical wiring is installed, altered, extended, or connected to electrical equipment. The same electrical permit page points applicants to EV charger tips and says service changes or new services may require coordination with Seattle City Light, so EV charger work should be handled through the SDCI electrical permit path and checked for service-related utility coordination.
