EV Charging: Anza vs Palm Springs

Riverside County follows California Government Code §65850.7 and the state's expedited EV charger permitting law. Single-family home EV chargers are processed over the counter by the Building and Safety Department, often same-day. The California Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen) mandates EV-ready wiring and charging-station capacity in new construction.

Palm Springs follows California Government Code §65850.7 and Civil Code §4745 granting residents a right to install Level 2 EV chargers at single-family homes and condos with streamlined permitting. The city processes EV charger permits through its online permit portal, typically within 1–5 business days, and public chargers are available at City Hall, the Convention Center, and throughout downtown.
