What that means for a Clearfield install
Clearfield's housing is mixed: about 39% predates 1980 and about 33% 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.
- Renting? You'll need the owner's written approval for a hardwired charger. Many renters start with a Level 1 cord or a NEMA 14-50 outlet that the landlord signs off on.
- Own a duplex, fourplex or apartment building in Clearfield? Rocky Mountain Power's business and multifamily charger rebate (75% of cost, up to $1,000 single-port or $1,500 dual-port, subject to funds) may apply to the property even though there is no home-charger rebate.
- Clearfield's housing spans nearly every decade, and about four in ten homes predate 1980. For those, a load calculation is the smart first step.
Across Davis County, 7,660 battery-electric vehicles were registered as of February 2026, and Clearfield accounts for about 5% of them.[2]
Charging costs on Rocky Mountain Power in Clearfield
Most Clearfield 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 Clearfield 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.
