San Diego County supports EV infrastructure with streamlined permitting for residential charger installations. California law (AB 1236) requires expedited permitting for EV charging stations. New construction must include EV-ready infrastructure per CALGreen Code.
California AB 1236 requires local jurisdictions, including San Diego County, to create expedited and streamlined permitting processes for EV charging stations. The County Department of Planning & Development Services processes residential EV charger permits, which typically require an electrical permit. The California Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen) requires new residential construction to include EV charging infrastructure (conduit, panel capacity, and outlets). HOAs cannot unreasonably restrict EV charger installation per California Civil Code Section 4745. The county offers information on available rebates and incentives for EV charger installation.
No penalties for not installing EV charging. Building code violations for installations without proper permits are handled by PDS.
