EV Charging: Corona vs Palm Springs

Corona follows California's expedited EV charging station permit process under Government Code §65850.7. Residential Level 2 EV chargers require an electrical permit from the Building Division, with streamlined review. New developments meeting CALGreen thresholds must include EV-ready infrastructure. Public charging stations are available at city facilities and shopping centers.

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.
