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.
California Government Code §65850.7 requires all cities — including Corona — to adopt an expedited, streamlined permitting process for residential and commercial EV charging stations. Corona's Building Division processes residential Level 2 (240V) EV charger permits typically within one to two business days through over-the-counter or online submittal, often without plan review for standard installations. Permit fees apply but are limited by state law to recover actual costs. Installation must comply with California Electrical Code, manufacturer specifications, and proper grounding. For new construction, CALGreen Tier requirements mandate a percentage of parking spaces in new multifamily and commercial projects be EV-capable, EV-ready, or include installed EVSE. Retrofits in HOA-controlled communities are protected under California Civil Code §4745, which prohibits HOAs from unreasonably restricting EV charger installation in an owner's exclusive-use area. Public charging is available at the Corona Civic Center, city parks with designated stalls, and major shopping destinations. ChargePoint, EVgo, and Tesla networks operate in Corona. Tampering with or unauthorized parking in EV-only stalls can result in citations.
