How many EV charging permits did Chicago issue in December 2025?

27. That is every matching building permit the City issued from 2025-12-01 to 2025-12-31, counted in 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.
