Charger instructions
Use the manufacturer instructions to see who makes the first decision for your charger setup.
What to know before you get started.
Permit and inspection conditions depend on your address, the charger, the circuit, and the work needed; confirm these details before we finalize the installation schedule. This guide separates authority, utility, contractor, inspection, and project-record responsibilities without promising one path for every address.
Start with the address and final scope
Permit and inspection conditions depend on the address, charger, circuit, and scope; confirm them before the installation schedule is final.
Circuit rating
Account for the circuit rating as a separate process or responsibility during your project.
Electrical panel upgrade
Confirm whether you need a panel upgrade to determine where the inspection or approval path begins.
Keep authority, utility, and contractor roles separate
Preparing for your installation can involve more than one organization. A permit, an inspection, utility design, and connection authorization are related steps, not interchangeable approvals.
Trenching
Add trenching to your checklist before we sequence the field work.
DOPL location path
Review the DOPL path for your location because it may change the documents, charger choices, or notice needed for your setup.
Inspection timing
Recheck the inspection timing if the installed work differs from your original description.
Build the sequence before setting dates
Before we treat a completion date as fixed, we confirm the design decisions, permit responsibility, utility dependencies, inspection points, shutdowns, and reconnect conditions.
Before application
Define your address, the charger model, ratings, wire route, and ownership boundaries that support your project.
Before field work
Confirm the local authority and any utility prerequisite tied to the final plan.
Before connection or closeout
Record the inspection, correction, utility, labeling, and document steps that remain for your project.
Keep a record that matches the installed work
A useful project file keeps your final plans, charger details, approvals, inspection results, utility letters, and approved changes together.
Scope record
Retain the written description and responsibility boundaries used for your project.
Equipment record
Retain the charger model, ratings, and location details when they support your permit or utility path.
Change record
Document any revisions that affect your charger, capacity, route, ownership, or inspections.
