Dear PoPville

“Fine for residential EV charger installation”


Not charger in question, just one I passed in front of a house the other day.

“Dear PoPville,

We hired a professional electrician to install an EV charger in front of our home in DC (it is on our side of the property line). Fast forward six months, we just received a $4700 fine in the mail from DC for

failing to secure an electrical permit. Do residential EV chargers in fact require special electrical permits? If not, any resources folks might be able be able to point us toward to contest this?”
