Greenville County has no dedicated EV-charging parking ordinance for residences. Home chargers follow the county-adopted SC building/electrical codes and require an electrical permit; public-station rules follow state law.
The county sets no separate zoning ordinance mandating or restricting electric-vehicle charging spaces at single-family homes. Installing a home Level 2 charger is governed by the county-adopted South Carolina building and electrical codes and requires an electrical permit and inspection from Greenville County Building Safety. Off-street parking design standards in Zoning Article 12 apply to larger developments, not home chargers. Reserving or enforcing 'EV-only' public parking spaces is a matter of the property owner and South Carolina traffic law; the state has not enacted a blanket county mandate. Incorporated cities may adopt their own EV-ready parking requirements for new development.
Installing a charger without the required electrical permit/inspection violates the adopted building code; correction and re-inspection are required.
