Installing a home EV charger in Licking County requires an electrical permit and inspection under Ohio's adopted electrical code. The wiring follows the National Electrical Code, and no Ohio law bars an HOA from restricting chargers.
A residential Level 2 EV charger in Newark, Heath, Pataskala, Granville, or the unincorporated townships is a permitted electrical installation. Ohio has adopted the Residential Code of Ohio, which incorporates National Electrical Code wiring standards, so the local building department issues an electrical permit and inspects the new 240-volt circuit and disconnect. Unlike some states, Ohio has not enacted a homeowner EV-charging protection law, so a homeowners association's recorded covenants can limit where or whether a charger is installed. Outside an HOA, a licensed electrician pulls the permit and the work proceeds. Intel's arrival has spurred more EV interest countywide.
Installing a charger circuit without the required electrical permit and inspection is a code violation that can bring a stop-work order, a correction order, and re-inspection fees.
