Permits
In Phoenix, a home charger install can be reviewed and permitted over the counter if the existing service is 200A single-phase or less and needs no upgrade; bigger service upgrades need formal plan review (Phoenix PDD guide). Mesa, Tempe, Scottsdale and other Valley cities have their own fees.
