Give me some sugar baby
If your paying an electrician. Just keep the invoice for liability. From an insurance perspective nothing negligent about hiring an electrician to install a 240v run to your panel. I would think that most people would NOT get a permit for something as simple as that. Technically your supposed to pull a permit if you change out your hot water heater....
I have installed plenty of 15 amp residential stuff with no permit pulled. For 240V bigger stuff, plenty of people with 100 amp service have had problems that might have been mitigated if they had done the proper load calcs, etc., and realize they needed a bigger service.
In my case I would not have gotten a permit if it had just been the charger off my main panel, but I was using a sub-panel that will eventually be used if we ever finish our basement.... better to "do it right" so that when I eventually get someone to finish my basement they don't whine about my having a sub-panel installed that never had a permit pulled on it (and charge me extra $$ to "rectify" the situation).
