Quoting an EV charger installation in Seattle? Check the address, authority, electrical permit path and utility/service questions before you lock the price or schedule.
Is the address inside the expected permit jurisdiction?
Does the installation trigger only an electrical permit, or other review/coordination?
Will added load or a service change bring the electric utility into the job?
What inspections, documents or plan-review thresholds could affect schedule?
City boundaries, utility territories and project ownership do not always line up the way a street address suggests.
A project can cross electrical, mechanical, utility or site-review boundaries depending on the actual installation.
Plan review, utility engineering, corrections and inspection sequencing can change when the work can start or finish.
Seattle requires an electrical permit when electrical wiring is installed, altered, extended, or connected to electrical equipment. Some projects require plan review, while many qualifying permits can be issued online without plan review.
Service changes and new electric service can add Seattle City Light coordination outside the basic SDCI permit path.
