Delaware County has no separate EV-charger ordinance. Home charger installations follow the statewide Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code (electrical permit through your municipality), and any required charging stations at new development are set by local zoning, not the county.
Installing a home EV charger in Delaware County is governed by the statewide Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code (UCC, 34 Pa. Code Chapter 401 et seq.), which adopts the National Electrical Code. You obtain the electrical/building permit and inspection from your municipality's code office (or its third-party UCC agency), not the county. Any requirement to provide EV parking or charging spaces in new development comes from each municipality's zoning ordinance under the Municipalities Planning Code. Delaware County supports charging through public and workplace stations and grant programs rather than a regulatory ordinance. So there is no county EV-charging rule for your home: follow the state construction code via your local permit office, and check local zoning for new-project requirements.
Installing a charger without the required UCC electrical permit and inspection can lead to a municipal stop-work order and fines under the local UCC ordinance. Zoning-based charging requirements are enforced through the municipal land-development approval process.
