EV Charger / EVSE Permit in Gillette, Wyoming

Required for installation of a residential or commercial electric vehicle charging station (EVSE) in Gillette. As with all electrical work in this jurisdiction, the City of Gillette — not the Wyoming State Fire Marshal's electrical program — issues and inspects the permit inside city limits (WSFM 'LOCAL AND STATE JURISDICTIONS' chart lists Gillette's ELEC INSP/PR as L/L), under the NEC adopted by City Code § 5-I-6. City Code § 5-IV-2 has no distinct EV-charger/EVSE fee line item — a standalone EVSE circuit is billed under the same amperage-based Electrical Permit fee table used for other electrical work, plus the Capital Contribution Fee if the installation involves a new or upgraded electrical service.

Tips

  • Gillette is one of the Wyoming cities that runs its own electrical inspection program — per the WSFM jurisdictions chart, Gillette's ELEC INSP/PR = L/L, so you apply to and pay the City, not the Wyoming State Fire Marshal's electrical program, for an EV charger circuit just as for any other electrical work.
  • Don't forget the Capital Contribution Fee ($175-$1,050 depending on amperage) if your EVSE installation requires a new or upgraded electrical service — it's charged IN ADDITION TO the amperage-based electrical permit fee.
  • No EV-specific fee line item exists — a standalone EVSE circuit not requiring a service upgrade is typically billed at the amperage-based minimum, as low as $10.
