St. Louis encourages EV charging through Ameren Missouri rebates and city-installed public chargers at garages and civic facilities. No city mandate for EV-ready parking, though new developments often install chargers voluntarily.
St. Louis does not currently mandate EV charging infrastructure in new construction, but the city has installed public Level 2 and DC fast chargers at downtown parking garages (Kiener, Stadium East) and civic facilities. Ameren Missouri offers Charge Ahead rebates for residential and commercial EV charger installation. Home installation of Level 2 chargers requires an electrical permit from the Building Division and a licensed electrician; typical 240V/40A circuits needed. Multifamily and workplace charger installations may qualify for federal tax credits. The regional Gateway Clean Cities coalition promotes EV adoption through education and infrastructure grants.
Unpermitted electrical work: $200-$500 fine plus remediation. ICE-ing (blocking EV chargers with gas vehicles) not yet specifically penalized under city code but may violate posted parking restrictions.
