To invite plug-in cars, cities work on permitting | Green Tech - CNET News

To invite plug-in cars, cities work on permitting | Green Tech - CNET News: "One of the concerns automakers and potential buyers have is long delays in getting these chargers installed since building codes don't always explicitly address them.
In an effort to avoid delays in installations, Oregon last year adjusted its building codes to clarify the situation for electricians. Home charging stations now fall under the same building codes as large appliances, such as electric water heaters."

That shows one problem with government regulation. They often only address common situations.
