EV charging in Converse requires an electrical permit for Level 2 (240V) and DC fast chargers under the adopted 2017 NEC. Commercial stations require site plan review and ADA-compliant spaces.
Converse follows the 2017 National Electrical Code (NEC) Article 625 (Electric Vehicle Power Transfer Systems) for EV charger installation, adopted via Chapter 18 of the Municipal Code. Residential Level 2 chargers (208-240V) require an electrical permit, a dedicated circuit typically 40-60 amps, GFCI protection, and final inspection. Level 1 chargers plugged into existing 120V outlets do not require permits. Commercial EV charging stations require site plan review through Planning and must provide accessible spaces compliant with ADA Standards, striping, wheelstops, and directional signage. Public chargers at businesses should include break-away cable management and bollards where vehicles could strike equipment. Texas does not preempt local EV parking restrictions; non-EVs parked in posted charging spaces can be ticketed where the city adopts an ordinance. Contact Converse Building and Planning at (210) 658-5356 for permit fees, inspection scheduling, and commercial review requirements.
