Panel capacity is the usual sticking point - older services were never sized for EV charging, and aluminum branch wiring shows up in mid-1960s to mid-1970s houses. In Golden specifically, sits against the foothills, so grade, drainage and wildfire-conscious materials matter more here than out on the plains.

Permits: Jefferson County covers unincorporated areas while Lakewood, Arvada, Golden and Wheat Ridge each run their own building departments.
