Boulder City, NV Parking Rules: EV Charging (2026)

Boulder City Municipal Code does not contain a standalone Electric Vehicle Charging ordinance, but EV installations are governed under the adopted National Electrical Code and Nevada state building provisions administered by the Boulder City Building Department. Residential Level 2 home chargers require a standard electrical permit and inspection. Level 1 chargers that plug into an existing 120V outlet typically do not require a permit unless new wiring is installed. For condominiums and townhome HOAs, Nevada law (NRS 116.2111) limits an HOA ability to prohibit an owner from installing an EV charger in the owner assigned parking, though the HOA may impose reasonable installation standards. For commercial and multifamily developments, Nevada has adopted portions of model energy code that encourage EV-ready conduit and capacity, though Boulder City has not mandated EV-ready parking percentages for new construction as of early 2026. Public charging stations in Boulder City include locations at the visitor center, select resort and hotel parking areas, and Lake Mead NRA charging points administered by the National Park Service. Tesla and Electrify America corridor stations serve the US 93 route to Arizona. Blocking an EV charging stall with a non-charging vehicle at public stations is discouraged but not specifically fined under municipal code.
