Weber County, Utah
EV Charger Installation in Huntsville, UT
Huntsville is a small Ogden Valley town on the east side of Pineview Reservoir, near the Snowbasin road. It has very little housing (about 260 homes), and most of it is older: Census estimates put more than a third before 1940, though small-town estimates carry wide margins of error.

Housing: U.S. Census Bureau ACS 2020-2024 5-year estimates.[1] EVs: 100 battery-electric and 20 plug-in hybrid vehicles registered under the city name "Huntsville" as of Feb. 16, 2026.[2] Registrations are grouped by the city listed on the registration, which can be a mailing city.
Huntsville is small, so these Census figures are estimates with wide margins of error. Treat them as a rough picture.
What that means for a Huntsville install
With about 60% of homes built before 1980, Huntsville is a city where we'd always start with a load calculation. Many homes of that era were built with smaller electrical services, and EV charging is a large, continuous load.
- Valley winters are long. A charger mounted in the garage is easiest on the equipment, and an outdoor unit should be rated for snow and cold.
- Ski-season traffic up and down Ogden Canyon makes a full battery every morning valuable. A 40- to 48-amp circuit makes that easy for most EVs, if the panel supports it.
- Older homes and cabins in the valley often warrant a load calculation, and sometimes a service check, before adding a large continuous load.
Across Weber County, 3,378 battery-electric vehicles were registered as of February 2026, and Huntsville accounts for about 3% of them.[2]
Charging costs on Rocky Mountain Power in Huntsville
Most Huntsville 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 the Town of Huntsville'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.

Huntsville EV charger FAQ
Does the cold in Ogden Valley damage chargers?
Chargers are built for it when rated for outdoor use, but a garage install is still gentler. Plugging in overnight also lets the car warm its battery before you leave.
Do you cover cabins and second homes in Huntsville?
Yes. Tell us if the property is a part-time residence so scheduling and access can be arranged.
Is there an EV charger rebate in Huntsville in 2026?
There's no utility rebate for a home charger right now. Rocky Mountain Power removed its residential charger rebate effective Jan. 1, 2026, and the federal 30C credit ended for chargers placed in service after June 30, 2026. See our 2026 rebate guide for what's still available.
