Hey Seattle residents
Someone responded to me the other day about EVSE installations in the City of Seattle and asking about the need for a permit. I heard back on some specifics today from the City folks responsible for this stuff.
A permit is required for a EVSE installation.
And this is what I heard back when asked about fines/complianace: "Please note that in the City of Seattle failure to get a permit for an EVSE installation carries a penalty of $175 per day for 10 days and $500 per day thereafter. "
So please, if you have not got a permit for a self installed unit - take care of it asap. They still don't have the Client Assistance Memo out yet so you can claim ignorance but soon enough, you won't be able to and this is a heafty fine for not permitting.
