McHenry County sets no special residential EV-parking ordinance. Illinois' Electric Vehicle Charging Act requires most newly built homes and multi-family projects to be EV-capable.
There is no McHenry County parking ordinance dedicated to electric-vehicle charging for existing homes; owners may install a home charger subject to normal electrical permits and setback rules. Statewide, the Illinois Electric Vehicle Charging Act (20 ILCS 627) requires newly constructed single-family homes and many multi-unit residential developments to include EV-capable parking spaces (conduit and capacity for future chargers). Municipalities such as Crystal Lake follow the state building and electrical codes when permitting charger installation. Public charging stations and any reserved EV parking spaces are typically established by the property owner or municipality, not the county. Always pull a building/electrical permit before installing a Level 2 charger.
Installing a charger without the required electrical permit is a code violation; new-construction non-compliance with the EV-capable mandate is enforced through building-permit review.
