This is my first post to this list, giving it a go. Like probably several other people on this list I installed my own EV charger at my home, in this case in Berkeley California. ---------------------------------------------------------
For work I inspect homes and apartments, so I am wary of bad electrical work, but I find that from pros as well as DIYers. In my area any homeowner can pull an express permit for EVSE install, and get a professional inspection of the work, which seems a good balance. But that could change. The new code will essentially block permit offices from accepting permit requests by anyone not "qualified". And it's up for vote on June 19th 2025 in Las Vegas. NEC DRAFT 625.4 Qualified Persons. Permanently installed electric vehicle power transfer system equipment shall be installed by qualified persons. Informational Note: See NECA 413-2024, Standard for Installing and Maintaining Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE), or other ANSI approved installation standards. Committee Statement: This requirement was added to ensure that only qualified persons install permanently installed EVSE. The informational note was added for reference.
