Frequently Asked Questions — Aurora EV Charger Installation
Does Aurora require a permit for EV charger installation?
Yes. The City of Aurora requires an electrical permit for Level 2 EV charger installation. All work must be performed by a Colorado DORA-licensed electrician. Your installer manages all permits through Aurora Building Services.
Can I combine the Xcel rebate and federal tax credit?

How does Aurora’s winter climate affect EV charger installation?
Aurora’s cold winters mean EV batteries charge more slowly in extreme cold, making a higher-amperage Level 2 charger (40–48A) a worthwhile investment compared to warmer climates. Our installers can advise on the right charger spec for Colorado’s climate.

Standard installations in Aurora complete in 2–4 hours. Aurora Building Services processes residential electrical permits typically within 3–5 business days.
