El Paso County permits EV charger installations through the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department with a standard electrical permit. HB 22-1218 requires EV-ready parking in new multifamily. HOAs cannot prohibit EV charging under C.R.S. §38-33.3-106.8.
Residential Level 2 EV charger installation in El Paso County requires an electrical permit through the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department (PPRBD). Typical permit fee is $75-$150 depending on circuit size. Most 240V/40A chargers (Tesla Wall Connector, Enphase, ChargePoint Home Flex) require a dedicated breaker and appropriate wire gauge per 2020 NEC Article 625. For rental or multifamily properties built or permitted on or after August 10, 2022, Colorado HB 22-1218 requires a percentage of parking spaces to be EV-capable (rough-in conduit and panel capacity) or EV-ready. Colorado Springs Utilities, Mountain View Electric, and Black Hills Energy offer rebates for residential charger installation (check current programs). HOAs in El Paso County covenant communities cannot prohibit EV charger installation on an owner's exclusive-use parking (C.R.S. §38-33.3-106.8) but may impose reasonable architectural and location standards. Public EV stations (Tesla Superchargers along I-25, Electrify America, EVgo) must meet ADA accessibility under 2021 PROWAG.
Unpermitted electrical work: stop work, retroactive permit plus double fees. HOA prohibiting EV charger: homeowner may sue for damages and attorney fees under C.R.S. §38-33.3-123. Electrical code violations: correction order, mandatory inspection.
