What that means for a Woods Cross install
With about 54% of homes built in 2000 or later, many Woods Cross installs are a short run from a modern panel to the garage. A load calculation still matters if you also have central AC, an electric range, a hot tub or a second EV.
- Townhomes and twin homes are part of the newer Woods Cross mix. In those, the panel may be in a different spot from the garage, and the HOA may own exterior walls, so confirm before you schedule.
- Woods Cross is Rocky Mountain Power territory, unlike neighboring Bountiful, so time-of-use pricing is available to most homes.
- In older single-family homes, the usual question is panel capacity rather than distance.
Across Davis County, 7,660 battery-electric vehicles were registered as of February 2026, and Woods Cross accounts for about 2% of them.[2]
Charging costs on Rocky Mountain Power in Woods Cross
Most Woods Cross 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 Woods Cross 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.

Woods Cross EV charger FAQ
I'm in a Woods Cross townhome. Can I install a charger?
Usually, but check your HOA rules and where your meter and panel are. A charger in your own garage on your own panel is the simplest case.
Do I need a hardwired charger?
Not always. A properly installed NEMA 14-50 outlet with a portable charger works for many drivers, though a hardwired unit allows higher amperage.
Is there an EV charger rebate in Woods Cross 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.
