There is no rule requiring homeowners to install EV chargers. Murfreesboro's zoning code defines EV-Capable, EV-Ready and EV-Installed parking spaces (Level 2, 208/240V, 40 amp) for use in new development standards. Rutherford County and Smyrna set no residential EV mandate.
Neither Rutherford County nor Smyrna imposes a homeowner EV-charging requirement; a resident may install a private charger on their own property following the state electrical code. Murfreesboro's zoning ordinance (Appendix A) defines tiers of electric-vehicle parking spaces, including EV-Ready spaces built with conduit and outlets and a panel capable of supporting a Level 2 or greater charger (208/240V, 40 ampere), which are referenced in parking standards for certain new construction. These definitions govern developer obligations, not existing single-family homes. Public charging is otherwise available at commercial sites without a special county ordinance.
No penalty for homeowners; developer EV-space obligations, where applicable, are enforced through Murfreesboro site-plan and zoning review.
