About this section

The first charger took a board vote and nine months; the second took a permit, a load calculation, and one afternoon. Tessa Vandermolen kept the paperwork from both installs — applications, the inspector's correction notice, utility EV tariff sheets — and PlugPath is where those documents get explained. She is not an electrician or an electrical inspector, so nothing here is an instruction to wire anything: it is a record of what the code sections, statutes, and forms actually say, each one linked.
