Richland County has no separate ordinance dedicated to residential EV charging; installing a home charger is governed by the electrical permit and inspection process under the adopted building codes, not by a county parking rule. Commercial charging stalls fall under Land Development Code off-street parking standards.
There is no Richland County parking ordinance specific to electric-vehicle charging. A homeowner adding a Level 2 charger needs an electrical permit through Richland County Building Inspections, which enforces South Carolina's adopted National Electrical Code and building codes. For new commercial and multifamily development, EV and general parking layout are handled through the off-street parking standards in the Land Development Code (Sec. 26-173) during site-plan review. No dedicated EV mandate appears in the county code; confirm current requirements with the Community Planning and Development Department.
Doing electrical work without the required permit is a code-enforcement violation subject to stop-work orders and fines set by the adopted building codes.
