California Civil Code sections 4745 and 1947.6, plus Government Code 65850.7, create statewide rights for residents to install EV charging stations and require expedited local permitting that supersedes restrictive local rules.
Civil Code 4745 voids HOA rules that prohibit or unreasonably restrict installation of EV charging stations, and Civil Code 1947.6 requires landlords to approve a tenant's written request to install a charging station at an assigned parking space, subject to statutory conditions and exceptions. Civil Code 4745.1 separately protects EV-dedicated time-of-use meters in common interest developments. Government Code 65850.7 requires every city and county to adopt an ordinance creating an expedited, streamlined permitting process for residential EV chargers, with checklist-based ministerial review. Local governments cannot impose discretionary approvals on small residential charging projects that meet the statewide checklist.
Local agencies that fail to adopt compliant streamlined ordinances face mandamus actions and may be ordered to issue permits. HOAs that violate Civil Code 4745 face civil penalties of $1,000 plus actual damages and attorney fees.
