No county or city rule restricts charging an EV at your own home. Hamilton County cities set no residential EV-parking ordinance, so charging in your driveway or garage is unrestricted; some new developments must include EV-ready spaces as a building standard.
There is no Hamilton County ordinance and no Indiana statute limiting where a resident may charge an electric vehicle on private property. Charging from your own driveway or garage is unrestricted, though a cord should not cross a public sidewalk or create a trip hazard. Carmel and Fishers regulate EV infrastructure only through their Unified Development Ordinances, which can require EV-ready or EV-installed parking spaces in certain new commercial or multifamily projects; those are construction standards adopted under IC 36-7-4, not parking bans. Public charging stalls at city or retail lots may be posted for charging vehicles only, enforced by the property owner.
No residential penalty. Public charging-only stalls may be enforced by the lot owner; blocking a sidewalk with a cord can draw a nuisance notice.
