EV Charging Station Permit (Electrical Permit) in Riverton, Wyoming

Required for installation of a Level 2 (or higher) electric vehicle charging station/EVSE within Riverton city limits, permitted under the City's standard Electrical Permit process (RMC Chapter 15.08). City of Riverton Resolution No. 1355 has no dedicated EV charger/EVSE fee line item — the same finding this file's solar-pv-permit entry documents for solar — so an EV charger circuit is charged under the general Electrical Alteration or Electrical Service Upgrade fee categories, whichever fits the scope of work.
