Sioux Falls has no local ordinance requiring EV charging spaces or EV-ready electrical infrastructure in parking lots or new construction. General off-street parking standards in § 160.551 govern parking lot design, but contain no EV-specific provisions.
Sioux Falls Code § 160.551 (Off-Street Parking Requirements) and § 160.550 (General Conditions) establish parking design and quantity standards under the Shape Places zoning ordinance, but neither section mandates electric vehicle charging stations or EV-ready conduit in new developments. South Dakota state law (SDCL § 49-34A) exempts EV charging operators from utility regulation if electricity is sold solely for charging, but imposes no local EV parking mandate. EV charger installation requires a standard electrical permit under § 150.201 (NEC 2023). The city's 2022 EV Readiness Study recommends but does not require EV infrastructure in new construction.
No penalty provisions for EV charging non-compliance exist. Standard building and electrical permit violations under § 150.015 and § 150.201 carry fines per the general penalty schedule.
