New EV charging permits in Chicago — week of July 27, 2026
Every matching building permit the City of Chicago issued from 2026-07-27 to 2026-08-02, read from the City’s own dataset ydr8-5enu and re-read hourly. Filter: Any permit whose work description mentions an electric vehicle, EV charging, or EVSE. The City has no dedicated EV permit type, so all three spellings are matched. 456 in the year to 2026-07-01.
This week is still in progress — each day’s permits land here the morning the City makes them public, so the table below will keep growing.
