EV Charging Station Permit (Electrical Permit) in Rock Springs, Wyoming

Required for installation of a Level 2 (or higher) electric vehicle charging station/EVSE in Rock Springs, processed as a standard electrical permit under the 2023 NEC (including Article 625, Electric Vehicle Power Transfer System) as adopted by the City. Rock Springs Municipal Code § 150.08(B) has no dedicated electrical-only fee line, let alone an EV-specific one — the same finding the electrical-permit and solar-pv-permit entries document — so an EV charger install is charged under the general valuation-based building-permit fee schedule, with electrical inspection performed by the City's own Electrical Inspector program (not the state).
