DeSoto follows Texas state law regarding EV charging infrastructure. Homeowners can install Level 1 and Level 2 chargers on their own property; Level 2 installations typically require an electrical permit from DeSoto Development Services. Texas Occupations Code Chapter 2157 (SB 1456) prohibits HOAs from banning homeowner installation of EV charging stations on their own property, though reasonable placement rules may apply. Public charging stations are available at some DeSoto commercial centers. Chargers must comply with NEC 625 and be installed by licensed electricians.
