Yellowstone County has no ordinance requiring or restricting home EV chargers, and Montana has not enacted a statewide "right-to-charge" law. Installing a home charger follows the state electrical code and any local building-permit requirement—not a county parking rule.
There is no county parking ordinance governing electric-vehicle charging in unincorporated Yellowstone County, and Montana—unlike California or Colorado—has not passed a right-to-charge statute compelling HOAs or landlords to permit chargers. Installing a Level 2 charger at a home is an electrical project governed by the adopted state electrical code and typically requires an electrical permit; a licensed electrician handles the panel work. In an HOA or rental, your ability to install a charger depends on your governing documents and lease rather than any county rule. Public charging stations on private commercial sites are a private/site-plan matter reviewed through zoning if inside the county's Billings-fringe jurisdiction. Check with City-County Planning and the state permitting authority before installation.
No county EV-parking penalty exists; installing wiring without a required electrical permit is an electrical-code violation enforced by the permitting authority.
