Hi all,
I managed to get an EVSE from the CEC program in November. It was installed about a month ago, but the electrician still hasn't pulled a permit for it or scheduled an inspection from the City, despite billing me $249 specifically for those tasks.
The electrician tapped the existing, unused 240-volt dryer outlet in our garage. The EVSE that was installed is the standard 30-amp Aerovironment unit that needs to be hardwired (not portable). To my knowledge, a new circuit breaker wasn't added to our existing utility panel. Given these circumstances, is an electrical permit required for this install?
If a permit is not required, then I will request a refund for services paid for that were never rendered. If a permit is required, then I will contact them again to pull the permit. I'm concerned about any liability issues that may arise with a non-permitted EVSE installation, so I want it to be done properly.
I apologize in advance if this question has been answered somewhere else.
Thanks,
Michael
