DS-5187 (05-12)
This information bulletin describes the permitting
and inspection process for the installation of an Elec-
trical Vehicle Charging System (EVCS) on an existing
site or building.
EVCS installations shall comply with all applicable
code requirements, City ordinances and regulations,
including historical, and Land Development Code.
Electrical Vehicle (EV) supply equipment shall be
listed and labeled by an OSHA-approved Nationally
Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL)
I.	 Approval Requirements
An Electrical Permit is required for the installa-
tion of an EVCS.
A Building Permit may be required if alterations
will be made to the building or disabled acces-
sible parking spaces serving the buildings on the
site, or when new disabled accessible parking
spaces are proposed.
II.	 Documents and plans required
A.	General Application, (DS-3032)
A General Application must be completed. If
the property owner is doing the work, a sepa-
rate Owner-Builder Verification form (DS-
3042) must be completed and signed by the
owner.
B.	Plans
The following plans and calculations are re-
quired for review and approval. Plans and
calculations for an EVCS installed in a resi-
dential private garage will be reviewed by the
inspector during inspections. However for all
other installations the plans have to be re-
viewed prior to permit issuance.
1.	 Site plan showing complete layout of ex-
isting parking spaces and proposed loca-
tion of EVCS parking space(s), existing
building and structures.
Charging units are allowed to encroach
within required zone setbacks, as described
in SDMC 131.0140. Any landscaping re-
quired by SDMC 142.0402, including trees
shall not be removed for the installation of
the charging unit.
Note: Per SDMC, Section 86.26, it is un-
lawful to park a vehicle so that it protrudes
into the street or sidewalk. If the EV will be
parked behind the City sidewalk, it is im-
portant to show the width of the sidewalk,
the distance from the curb to the sidewalk,
and the distance from the sidewalk to the
house or garage on the site plan. Also, per
SDMC Section 142.0510, an operable ve-
hicle may be temporarily parked on a legal
driveway within a required front or street
side yard if the vehicle does not in any way
impede access to or from more than one re-
quired parking space. The vehicle cannot
be parked parallel to the property line.
2.	 Floor plan showing the ECVS when the
system is located within a building.
3.	 Electrical plans and calculations pre-
pared, signed and stamped by a California
registered Electrical Engineer or the Cali-
fornia Licensed Electrical contractor who
will be installing the system.
Note: A completed City of San Diego Cir-
cuit Card (DS-1779A) will be accepted in
lieu of electrical plans for installation in
residential private garages; calculations
shall be included on the Circuit Card. The
Card shall be provided at the site for the
inspection staff.
Charging an EV or plug in EV adds a sig-
nificant and continuous load to electrical
services and will impact the regional elec-
trical distribution system. Therefore, it is
important to provide accurate electrical
load calculations.
The plans shall include the following infor-
mation:
a.	 Single line diagrams showing the sys-
tem, point of connection to the power
supply and the charging unit(s).
b.	 Electrical load calculations.
c.	 Electrical panel schedule
Documents Referenced in this
Information Bulletin

•	 Information Bulletin 103, Mechanical, Plumbing/
Gas, Electrical Fee Schedule and Worksheet
•	 Circuit Card - Supplemental for Single Family
Dwellings, DS-1179A

Page  of 2	 City of San Diego • Information Bulletin 187	 May 2012
d.	 Manufacturers’ data sheet for the listed
charging equipment.
e.	 The amperage supplied to charge the
electrical vehicle.
4.	 Disabled Accessibility Plans showing
the following:
Note: Disabled accessibility plans are not
required for EVCS installed in residen-
tial private garages.
a.	 The dimensioned layout of existing ac-
cessible parking spaces, including ac-
cess aisles, and adjacent parking spaces
used for the EV charging station.
b.	 The location and layout of proposed ac-
cessible EV charging station.
c.	 An elevation of the charging unit suf-
ficient to demonstrate compliance with
the reach ranges for side or front ap-
proach to the unit by persons with dis-
abilities as required in the California
Building Code.
III.	 Options for service
A.	To obtain the electrical permit for installa-
tions in a residential private garage you may
use our:
1.	 On-Line service at Simple E-Permit
2.	 Walk-in at the Development Services De-
partment at 1222 1st Avenue, 3rd Floor
Check-In counter. Walk-In service is also
provided at our Inspection Office located at
9601 Ridgehaven Court, 2nd Floor.
B.	To obtain electrical permits for installation in
other locations a plan review is required prior
to issuance.
1.	 Most EVCS reviews may be performed
on a walk-in basis over the counter at the
Development Services Center, 1222 1st
Avenue, 3rd Floor. A General Application
and two copies of the plans listed above are
required for review and approval.
Iv.	 Inspections
A.	Access shall be provided to all equipment
including the electrical service equipment
that supplies power to the EVCS. Inspectors
are not authorized to open energized electri-
cal equipment. A responsible person shall be
present to open any live electrical equipment
for inspection.
B.	In addition to all plans and calculations, the
EVCS Manufacturer’s installation instruc-
tions shall be provided on site at time of in-
spection.
C.	All plans and documents listed above must
be provided for residential private garages on
site at time of inspection.
D.	When applicable the approved perforated set
of plans must be available on site at time of
inspection.
V.	 FEES

tion will be metered by SDGE for a specialized
rate, the installation shall conform to the SDGE
PEV PILOT drawings. Contact SDGE in ad-
vance for information regarding this program.
When the installation is approved, the inspector
will notify SDGE. Please coordinate the instal-
lation of the meter with SDGE.
