Babylon permits residential EV chargers as accessory to single-family homes without a special permit, though an electrical permit from the Division of Building is required. Commercial Level 2 and DC fast chargers require site plan review under Chapter 213.
Babylon was among the first Long Island towns to install public EV chargers at Town Hall and LIRR stations, funded in part by NYSERDA Charge NY incentives. Residential chargers must be installed by a licensed electrician and inspected by a third-party agency (e.g., NY Board of Fire Underwriters). NYSERDA and PSEG Long Island offer rebates up to $2,000 for residential installations. New multi-family developments of 5+ units must include EV-ready parking under NY Executive Order 166.
