EV Charger / EVSE Permit (NM Construction Industries Division — Electrical Bureau) in Edgewood, New Mexico

Installation of a Level 2 (or higher) electric vehicle charger/EVSE within the Town of Edgewood is regulated by the state Construction Industries Division (CID), the same agency that issues the electrical permit for Edgewood addresses (Edgewood has no local electrical inspection program). CID's published statewide Electrical Bureau fee schedule has NO dedicated EV-charger, EVSE, or electric-vehicle line item; a charger circuit is billed under the Electrical Bureau's general schedule — the applicable service-amperage tier if a new/upgraded service is involved, or the 'Minimum Inspection Fee for Items not Listed' ($27) if the work is limited to an added circuit on an existing service. Governed by the 2020 New Mexico Electrical Code (NMAC 14.10.4) / 2020 NEC Article 625 (Electric Vehicle Power Transfer System) as statewide-adopted.

When you need this permit

  • Contractor performing the EV charger circuit installation must hold a valid CID electrical license classification (e.g., EE-98, EL-1, or ER-1) per 14.6.6 NMAC
  • Electrical Permit Application (CID Electrical Bureau) filed for the charger circuit's electrical scope; no separate EV-charger-specific CID form was found published as of this research pass
  • Town of Edgewood Development Permit zoning sign-off may be required first if the charger installation is part of new construction or a structural addition (Zoning Ordinance 2024-017 Section 8.A)
  • If a new/upgraded electrical service is required to support the charger, the applicable service-amperage tier fee and permit apply in addition to (or instead of) the general circuit fee

Tips

  • There is no separate 'EV charger permit' fee line published by CID — a charger circuit is billed under the Electrical Bureau's general fee schedule (service-amperage tier if a new/upgraded service is needed, otherwise the $27 minimum/not-listed fee), the same office and schedule used for other electrical work in Edgewood.
  • Confirm which CID office (Santa Fe, Albuquerque, or Las Cruces) is currently handling Edgewood-area projects before applying — none is designated specifically for the town.
  • This mirrors Edgewood's own solar-pv-permit entry: CID's Electrical Bureau schedule has no dedicated line item for either solar PV or EV chargers, and both fall back to the same general/minimum-fee mechanism.
