EV Charger / Electric Vehicle Charging Station Permit in Worley, Idaho

Worley requires an ev charger / electric vehicle charging station permit for: Apply for the State of Idaho DOPL electrical permit for the EV charger circuit — purchased through dbs.idaho.gov or via the DOPL Homeowner Electrical Permit Application/Worksheet if self-installing on an owner-occupied primary/secondary residence; NOT issued locally by the City of Worley, which has no city electrical program; Idaho Code § 39-4109 and IDAPA 24.39.30 (Rules of Building Safety) govern statewide electrical permitting administered by DOPL; Work must comply with the National Electrical Code edition currently adopted by the Idaho Building Code Board; If the charger installation requires a new structure (e.g., a carport) or a panel/service upgrade tied to new construction, a companion DOPL building permit (Table 1-A, valuation-based) may also apply; Contact DOPL at (208) 334-3950 or the Worley City Hall building permit line at (208) 686-1258 to confirm which fee line (branch-circuit addition vs. the renewable-energy catch-all) DOPL currently applies to a standalone EV charger installation before purchasing the permit. If your project isn't listed, confirm with City of Worley City Hall (building permits issued locally; plan review and inspections performed by Idaho DOPL Building Safety under the statewide program) at (208) 686-1258 (City Hall, phone & fax) before starting work.

No. DOPL's statewide Electrical Permit Worksheet has no line item named for EV chargers. A dedicated EV charger circuit on an existing home falls under the worksheet's general 'Existing Residence' branch-circuit-addition fee ($65 plus $10 per additional circuit) — the worksheet's separate renewable-energy/power-generation catch-all is confirmed not to apply, since a charger consumes rather than generates or stores power.
