Housing: U.S. Census Bureau ACS 2020-2024 5-year estimates.[1] EVs: 166 battery-electric and 43 plug-in hybrid vehicles registered under the city name "Eden" as of Feb. 16, 2026.[2] Registrations are grouped by the city listed on the registration, which can be a mailing city. Eden mailing addresses also cover much of the surrounding Ogden Valley, so this count reaches well beyond the town core.
Eden is small, so these Census figures are estimates with wide margins of error. Treat them as a rough picture.
What that means for a Eden install
Eden's housing is mixed: about 16% predates 1980 and about 40% 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.
- Because Eden is unincorporated, electrical permits go through Weber County rather than a city. Your electrician handles the application.
- Mountain lots often mean long runs, slopes and rock, so the trench is usually the biggest variable in an outdoor or detached-garage install.
- Snow load and cold make an indoor mounting location worth prioritizing. If the charger must go outside, choose a unit rated for it.
Across Weber County, 3,378 battery-electric vehicles were registered as of February 2026, and Eden accounts for about 5% of them.[2]
Charging costs on Rocky Mountain Power in Eden
Most Eden 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
Because Eden is unincorporated, the electrical permit goes through Weber County. 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.
