From the 2020 National Electrical Code:Pretty sure this is not an “EV” requirement. GFCI’s are a requirement for potentially wet areas, such as the kitchen, garage, etc. But as noted they are not required when hardwired.
625.54 Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter Protection for Personnel. In addition to the requirements in 210.8, all receptacles installed for the connection of electric vehicle charging shall have ground-fault circuit-interrupter protection for personnel.
Whether this is required for you depends on whether your municipality follows the NEC and whether they use the 2020 codes or an earlier version, but this is the latest version of the code.
