Do I need a permit for ev charger installation in Falls Township?

Permit likely required

Most likely yes. Ev charger installation usually requires a permit in Pennsylvania. Confirm the specifics with Falls Township.

Under 34 Pa. Code Section 403.62(a), anyone who intends to install, enlarge, alter, or replace an electrical system regulated by the UCC must first obtain a permit. A new 240 volt circuit or a hardwired charger is new wiring. The residential exemptions in Section 403.62(c) include communications wiring but no power wiring. Plugging a charger into an existing receptacle adds no wiring, while a new circuit, receptacle, or hardwired unit does. The UCC is administered locally. Your municipality enforces it through its own code office or a certified third-party agency, and in a municipality that has opted out, the owner or contractor hires a certified third-party agency for residential work. Confirm who covers your address. This installation adds a 240-volt circuit or a hardwired charger, or changes the electrical panel. New circuits and panel work are electrical work that normally needs an electrical permit and inspection wherever an electrical permit program exists. A panel upgrade or new service usually also involves your electric utility, which may need to disconnect and reconnect power, so call them early. Many places require a licensed electrician for this work. Where a homeowner may do their own wiring, the permit and inspection still apply.
