While that may be the easiest way to do it, I don't know of any state, including yours that allows any electrical work without a permit. From your state code: "No installation and modification to any electrical systems can be performed without a permit and a Licensed Master Electrician."
That said, I have done it. The cost of the permit and risk of the inspector requiring additional work, especially on an older house can make a simple job like this very expensive. The only way it would be caught is when you go to sell and an inspector notices it but finds no permit on file.

"Most municipalities throughout New York state allow for anyone to perform electrical work. " There is no state level requirement involved.
and
"In areas that require an electrical license, typically there is an exception from the electrical licensing requirement for homeowners. If you are the owner of the residential property and living at the location, you may be able to perform the electrical work yourself, however, you still must receive an electrical inspection from an approved electrical inspector."
You would not need a permit, only an inspection. The only way to be "caught" is when you go to sell your house and an inspector finds work not up to code.
I've done plenty of electrical work on my house. (Some of it to correct dangerous/code violations that inspectors ignored). No permit needed. I do have the advantage of begin related to a licensed master electrician who checked my work. Regardless, it never caused an issue when selling. If the work is to code, how does a home inspector 10 years from now know who did the work?
The Town of North Hempsted does not do electrical inspections, they have 5 or 6 outside agencys that do the inspections. Your electrical contractor should know this.
Get a qualified contractor to do this, get it inspected by whatever agency he wants to use and carry on

All of LI works this way. The town still issues the permit and the electrician has the inspector show up and the the electrician submits the approval to the town. OP shouldn’t pull a permit still for a job this small.
Long island, at least in my area, all you need is to have a master electrician install it and then an electrical certificate after it gets inspected by the certified electrical underwriter (not town). Done
I am looking to install a car charger in the garage for an electric car. My electrician recommends putting in a breaker in the garage in case we want more chargers in the future (like outside or split btw two cars).
Looks like a job like this requires a permit. Our main electrical box is in the basement on the opposite side of the house but the basement is unfinished except the mechanical room where the electrical supply is.
The permit needs quite a bit of info (drawings, site plans, manufacturer sects, etc).
Are people really getting permits for a car charger?
FWIW, my house is a 2016 build that has a 300 amp service.
Thanks!
If you're white, tell the inspector your white privilege exempts you from the process. Otherwise, since this is a progressive collectivist push against "climate change" tell the inspector to go sniffing elsewhere unless he/she/it wants to be accused of holding up progress.
Go to your town building dept website, most dont have town electrical inspectors.
In that case, all you need is an electrical underwriter comp to certify the work & give you a certificate.. Theres no permits
