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

Permit likely required

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