Ottawa County has no ordinance requiring or restricting home EV charging. Michigan sets no statewide residential EV-charger mandate, so installation follows the state electrical code and your city or township permit and zoning rules.
There is no Ottawa County rule governing electric-vehicle charging equipment or reserved EV parking at homes. Michigan does not impose a statewide residential EV-charger requirement, so a home charger is treated as an electrical installation: it needs a permit and must meet the Michigan Residential Code and electrical code, typically inspected by your city or township building department. Public and workplace charging stations, and any dedicated EV parking spaces, are governed by individual municipal zoning ordinances and the property owner. Confirm permit requirements with your local building official before installing a Level 2 charger.
No parking-ordinance penalty at the county level; an uninspected or unpermitted charger installation can be flagged as an electrical-code violation by the local building department.
