Inside a Permit Package for EV Charging Stations

As electric mobility accelerates, the demand for EV charging infrastructure is growing faster than ever. But before an EV charger can be installed and energized, there’s a critical step every project must pass, the permitting process.

A permit-ready EV design package ensures that all technical, regulatory, and safety requirements are met before submission, helping projects move smoothly from design to approval.
At DIN Engineering, we make this process easier by delivering comprehensive, code-compliant permit packages that get approvals right the first time.

Here’s what goes inside a professional EV charging permit set, and why each element matters.


1. Detailed Plans and Load Calculations

Every EV project begins with precise planning.
A permit set includes site layouts, single-line diagrams, and electrical load calculations that detail how power flows from the main service panel to each charger.

These documents help permitting authorities verify that the electrical infrastructure can safely handle new charging loads, while ensuring all conductors, breakers, and panels are sized correctly.

At DIN, our engineers create drawings that adhere to the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local jurisdictional standards, ensuring full compliance from the start.
We ensure every detail meets the code requirements – before you submit.


2. Utility Coordination and Code Compliance

A successful EV installation depends on strong coordination with the local utility provider.
Our permit packages include utility tie-in details, service upgrades, and transformer connections, ensuring that the design aligns with the site’s available capacity.

DIN also verifies all designs for compliance with:

  • NEC Article 625 (EV Charging Systems)
  • Local building and fire codes
  • Grounding and overcurrent protection standards

By anticipating code requirements early, we help clients avoid rework, delays, and costly design revisions later.


3. Accessibility and Signage Integration

EV charging stations must be safe, accessible, and user-friendly.
Our designs integrate ADA-compliant parking layouts, access routes, clearances, and wayfinding signage to ensure inclusivity and compliance.

These details go beyond meeting regulations, they create a positive user experience and help ensure public charging sites are functional for all drivers.


4. Documentation That Speeds Approval

A complete permit package is more than drawings – it’s also documentation.
DIN provides equipment specifications, manufacturer cut sheets, and installation notes required for authority review.
This level of documentation gives permitting teams everything they need to approve a project quickly and confidently.


Why DIN’s Permit Packages Stand Out

At DIN, we believe permitting shouldn’t be a bottleneck.
Our EV design packages are crafted to be permit-ready from day one, aligning with all NEC, ADA, and local requirements.

DIN ensures every detail meets the code requirements – before you submit.
From planning to approval, DIN helps accelerate the path to electrification – efficiently, accurately, and at scale.
