How many EV charging permits did Chicago issue in August 2020?

7. That is every matching building permit the City issued from 2020-08-01 to 2020-08-31, counted in the City’s own dataset ydr8-5enu and re-read hourly. Filter: Any permit whose work description mentions an electric vehicle, EV charging, or EVSE.
