Washtenaw County sets no rule requiring or restricting residential EV charging; land use is regulated by your city or township. Ann Arbor encourages EV adoption through its A2Zero plan but does not mandate home charging.
There is no countywide ordinance governing home EV charging or EV parking spaces; under the Michigan Zoning Enabling Act (MCL 125.3101) any such requirement would come from your city or township. Ann Arbor promotes electric vehicles through its A2Zero carbon-neutrality program and provides public charging in city structures, but it does not require residents to install home chargers. Running a charging cord across a public sidewalk can still violate obstruction rules, and public charging-station stalls may be enforced under posted signage and the Michigan Uniform Traffic Code. Confirm any local EV-ready building requirements with your municipality.
Blocking an EV-designated stall or obstructing a sidewalk with a charging cord can be ticketed under local traffic and nuisance rules; fines are set by the city.
