Yeah, I paid extra for the electrician to pull a permit. Honestly I was going to do the work myself until I realized National Grid would give me $700 back on installation costs. (Work was $960, $700 rebate would make my out of pocket $260 for installing my Wall Connector; $75 was for pulling the permit, the town charges $25 for the permit.)
I double checked with the town, and it shows a permit was pulled, coincidentally the electrician emailed me a copy of the permit today.
Never saw a town inspector come and look at the work, though I noticed the electrician was taking pictures and texting someone - so I wonder if it was inspection via text message...
I'm 50/50 on reaching out to the electrical inspector - work's really busy right now, I've already swapped to a 50A breaker, and while I might miss out on that extra 8A - especially since I'm trying to max SOC at 50%, and charge only when I hit 20-25%, and in the off chance I'm going out and want some extra range before heading out; I probably won't miss the extra capacity, since I target 9 PM charging for off-peak rates and I'll be topped off by the morning.
idk. I'm torn. There's the principle of it, and there's the inconvenience of trying to fight/fix it..
