• EV Charging Infrastructure & Permits

  Commercial EV Charger Installation: Site, Utility, and Permitting Requirements Commercial EV charger installations are infrastructure projects, not equipment installs. They routinely trigger civil, electrical, and sometimes plumbing review, and are subject to full site and utility coordination with the local building department. Because chargers affect grading, drainage, power distribution, lighting, and accessibility, commercial EV installations are reviewed as part of the site rather than as isolated electrical work. Disciplines Commonly Required for Commercial EV Charger Projects Commercial EV charger permitting typically requires coordinated documentation across multiple disciplines: Civil Engineering Grading and drainage plans Required when trenching, new pads, curb cuts, or paved surface modifications occur. Utility routing Conduit paths, transformer locations, and utility clearances. Site accessibility and parking impacts Including accessible routes and stall modifications. Electrical Engineering Power distribution and service capacity analysis Electrical site plans showing chargers, feeders, panels, and equipment Electrical load calculations Site lighting and photometric plans Required when new lighting is added or existing lighting is modified to support nighttime use, safety, or code compliance. Plumbing (When Applicable) Landscape irrigation coordination Required when trenching or equipment placement impacts existing irrigation systems. Water management considerations Including protection of irrigation lines and coordination with drainage improvements. Architectural / Site Coordination Equipment clearances and mounting details Pedestrian circulation and accessibility compliance Visual coordination with existing site features where required by the jurisdiction Permitting and Review Process Commercial EV charger projects typically follow this sequence: Site evaluation and utility capacity assessment Preparation of coordinated civil, electrical, and supporting plans Submission for municipal plan review City comments and revisions Permit issuance Construction and inspections Final approval for use The level of review increases with site disturbance, number of chargers, and electrical demand. Why Commercial EV Chargers Trigger Multi-Discipline Review Cities require multi-discipline review because EV chargers: Alter site drainage through trenching and pad installation Impact underground utilities and irrigation systems Increase electrical demand and nighttime site use Require compliant lighting for safety and accessibility Modify parking layouts and accessible routes Introduce long-term infrastructure into the public realm Treating EV chargers as “just electrical” is a common cause of permitting delays and redesign. EV Charging Infrastructure Expertise Commercial EV charging infrastructure requires coordination across engineering disciplines and familiarity with municipal review standards.
