Mansfield requires electrical permits for Level 2 and DC fast chargers. Home chargers follow NEC Article 625 and commercial stations need permits and inspections.
Mansfield regulates electric vehicle charging equipment under the adopted 2020 National Electrical Code, particularly Article 625 on Electric Vehicle Power Transfer Systems. Residential Level 2 chargers installed on a dedicated 240-volt branch circuit require an electrical permit from Building Inspections before installation. Homeowners may install a Level 1 120-volt trickle charger on an existing outlet without a permit if no new wiring is added. Commercial Level 2 and DC fast chargers require a permit, inspection, and load calculations showing service capacity. Charging equipment must be listed by a nationally recognized testing laboratory such as UL. Outdoor chargers must be rated for wet locations and mounted per manufacturer instructions. Accessible parking requirements under the Texas Accessibility Standards apply when EV chargers are installed in public parking lots. Permit fees are based on the valuation of the installation. Contact Building Inspections at (817) 276-4200 for EV charger permit questions.
