How many EV charging permits did Chicago issue in September 2026?

11. That is every matching building permit the City issued from 2026-09-01 to 2026-09-30, counted in the City’s own dataset ydr8-5enu and re-read daily. 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.

September 2026 is still running — this total climbs as the City files.
