What that means for a Centerville install
Centerville's housing is mixed: about 38% predates 1980 and about 28% is 2000 or newer. So whether you need a panel upgrade really is a home-by-home question, and a quick load calculation answers it.
- For a typical 1980s Centerville home with an attached garage, the job is usually a straightforward 240-volt circuit. The big variable is whether the panel has two open spaces and enough spare capacity.
- Centerville is Rocky Mountain Power territory, unlike neighboring Bountiful, so the Schedule 1 time-of-use option is available to most homes.
- Homes on the east side toward the foothills can have longer runs between the panel and the garage. Ask for the run length to be written into the quote.
Across Davis County, 7,660 battery-electric vehicles were registered as of February 2026, and Centerville accounts for about 5% of them.[2]
Charging costs on Rocky Mountain Power in Centerville
Most Centerville homes are Rocky Mountain Power customers. RMP's Schedule 1 time-of-use option treats only 6 to 10 p.m. on non-holiday weekdays as on-peak. Off-peak base energy is 6.6111¢ per kWh from October through May and 7.4705¢ from June through September, versus on-peak prices of 29.7498¢ and 33.6173¢.[3] Surcharges and taxes are extra, and the rate applies to your whole home, so it pays off when you can keep big loads out of the evening window.
RMP's Wattsmart Drive program, run through your car maker's app for supported brands, pays up to $100 in bill credits the first year and up to $50 each following year in exchange for letting RMP briefly manage charging.[4] There is no RMP rebate for the home charger itself in 2026.[5] If your bill isn't from Rocky Mountain Power, these programs won't apply.
Permits and inspection
The electrician pulls the electrical permit through Centerville City's building process, and the work is inspected before it's energized. Utah adopted the 2023 National Electrical Code effective July 1, 2025, and most one- and two-family homes follow the electrical provisions of the International Residential Code as amended by Utah.[6][7] Current code requires GFCI protection for many EV outlets; your electrician will confirm exactly what your install needs.

A simple garage install is often done in a day once the permit is issued. Panel upgrades take longer because of utility coordination.
Is there an EV charger rebate in Centerville in 2026?
