Cobb County allows residential EV charger installation with an electrical permit from Cobb Community Development. Level 2 chargers typical. No HOA preemption — Georgia lacks state EV access law.
Cobb County requires an electrical permit for residential Level 2 EV charger installation through Cobb Community Development. The permit covers the new 240V circuit, disconnect, and receptacle or hardwired charging unit. Fees are modest (typically $75 to $150). Inspection by Cobb electrical inspector verifies code compliance including proper GFCI or GFPE protection, correct conductor sizing, and panel capacity. Load calculation may be required for older homes with 100-amp service. Tesla Wall Connector and other hardwired units must be listed for indoor or outdoor installation per location. Public EV charging stations at shopping centers (Town Center at Cobb, Cumberland Mall, The Avenue East Cobb) operate under commercial electrical permits. Georgia, unlike California or Florida, has NO state law preventing HOAs from restricting or prohibiting EV charger installation, so HOA approval may be required in covenant-controlled communities. Georgia Power offers off-peak EV charging rates.
Unpermitted EV charger installation: stop-work order and required permit with double fees. Electrical code violations: correction required before energizing. Non-UL-listed equipment: removal required.
