Madison's Code of Ordinances sets no dedicated EV charging-station parking ordinance. Installing a home charger follows the adopted electrical/building codes and permits, while EV parking on the street follows the same general parking rules as any vehicle.
As of the current code (through Ord. 2025-267), Madison has no ordinance reserving or regulating electric-vehicle charging spaces, nor a mandate to install chargers. Home charger installation is governed by the city's adopted building and electrical codes and requires the standard electrical permit from Building Inspection. On-street EV parking is subject to the same rules as other vehicles (Sec. 32-129 to 32-134). Alabama has no statewide EV-charging zoning mandate; the state instead levies an annual EV registration fee under Ala. Code Title 40. Confirm current requirements with Madison Planning and Building.
No EV-specific penalty exists; ordinary parking and permit rules apply, with Sec. 1-9 general penalties (up to $500) for parking violations and unpermitted electrical work.
