EV Charger / EVSE Permit (Electrical Permit) in Eagle, Idaho

Installation of an electric vehicle charging station in Eagle is electrical work, processed through the same Electrical Permit Application and Eagle Contractor Portal documented on this file's electrical-permit entry. The City of Eagle Building Department Fee Schedule (Resolution 23-34, amended 12/19/2023) — the full 2-page document was directly fetched and reviewed page-by-page this session — has NO distinct 'EV charger,' 'electric vehicle,' or 'EVSE' line item under its Electrical Fees section. A dedicated Level 2 charger circuit added to an existing residence falls under the 'Existing Residential Base Fee' ($65.00), or the 'Small Works' basic fee ($45.00) if the work does not exceed $200 in cost and does not involve a change in service connections — the same electrical fee lines already documented on this file's electrical-permit entry.
