Thanks to all who answered the initial question. I'll continue to monitor but it looks like I know my path forward.

So what would your solution be? Edit: That will not take 3-8 hours out of my day. Supercharge all the time? (Serious question). Edit2: Cambridge legalizes EV charging across the sidewalk - The Boston Globe

I asked the inspector if could I run the cord over the sidewalk in a channel. He said no. I said what other solutions exist? He said "we'll look into it" and get back to you. After them not getting back to me, I then started providing them alternative solutions. They never replied to my emails.

Filed a permit for installation on the house. It was denied. Spoke directly with the head of the permitting deparment about the solutions I posted above and was told "no" to all of them. They did. Immediately with a "no". Due to the cost involved with that, that's like step 25 and I'm on step 8.

Worked right up until the politicians went door to door shaking hands and kissing babies.

If I can get 5 miles of range per hour and can charge my car from when I get home from work until when I go out the next day (say 12 hours), a Level 1 charger would provide 60 miles of range and wipe away most (of not all) of that drive. That's IMMENSELY more helpful than trying to fight for one...

While not ideal, I'd deal with it if this was the best I could get.

So the town I'm in in NJ won't issue a permit for my EV charger because I don't have a driveway. I've tried going under and in the sidewalk, however, they won't issue a permit. Anyone else had this issue? How did you get around it?

Yeah. They're REALLY bad. I emailed them and asked to close my account / get a refund. They did. I now filter them out on Plugshare.

Very true. So I did. Unfortunately, the cable coming into my home can support 100amp service.

For now, nothing. It's not too bad. I'm thinking longer term about getting the covers that go between the rim and the tire.

Coming in late to this thread; what was the resolution?

Have you seen home prices recently? I don't think I'll ever be able to move.
