Neither Spartanburg County nor the City of Spartanburg has an ordinance requiring, regulating, or restricting residential electric-vehicle charging. Installations follow the adopted state building and electrical codes and utility rules; home charging is generally permitted.
The City of Spartanburg's parking and traffic chapter (Ch. 40) and Spartanburg County's Traffic and Vehicles chapter (Ch. 74) contain no provisions governing electric-vehicle charging stations, EV-only parking spaces, or home chargers. In practice, a home EV charger is installed under the electrical permit and inspection requirements of the South Carolina-adopted building/electrical codes, and public or workplace charging is a private or utility matter. There is no local mandate for EV-ready parking or any local restriction on charging your vehicle at home.
No parking-code penalty applies to EV charging; an improperly installed charger without the required electrical permit or inspection would violate the adopted building code.
