Calaveras County has no separate local EV-parking ordinance; electric-vehicle charging for new construction in the unincorporated county is governed by the statewide California Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen), enforced by the County Building Department.
Calaveras County does not publish its own electric-vehicle parking or charging ordinance. EV-readiness requirements come from California's statewide green building code, CALGreen (Title 24, Part 11), which the Calaveras County Building Department administers for new construction and certain alterations in the unincorporated area. Under CALGreen residential mandatory measures, new one- and two-family dwellings and townhouses must provide EV-charging infrastructure such as a listed raceway and dedicated panel capacity sized for a 208/240-volt branch circuit, with the termination location marked 'EV CAPABLE.' For accessory dwelling units (ADUs) without additional parking facilities, a listed raceway of not less than trade size 1 must originate at the service/subpanel and terminate in a marked enclosure. Multifamily projects must provide a percentage of EV-capable spaces under CALGreen. These are construction standards rather than on-street parking rules; the County has no published ordinance reserving public parking spaces exclusively for EV charging. Property owners should confirm the current adopted CALGreen edition with the Calaveras County Building Department before permitting.
Failure to install required EV-ready infrastructure in covered new construction is a building-code (CALGreen) violation handled through the Calaveras County Building Department permitting and inspection process, not a traffic citation.
