California law (Civil Code §4745) protects homeowners' right to install EV charging stations. Fillmore cannot unreasonably restrict home EV charger installation. New construction must include EV-ready infrastructure per California Building Code. HOAs cannot prohibit EV chargers.
California strongly supports electric vehicle adoption through multiple laws affecting Fillmore. Civil Code §4745 prevents HOAs from prohibiting EV charger installation. AB 970 (2023) strengthened renter rights to install EV chargers. California Building Code requires new construction and major renovations to include EV-ready electrical infrastructure (conduit, panel capacity). Fillmore's building permit process includes a streamlined EV charger permit. Level 1 (120V) chargers typically need no electrical permit. Level 2 (240V) chargers require an electrical permit for the dedicated circuit. Running charging cables across public sidewalks is not permitted. The city encourages EV adoption as part of climate action goals consistent with California's mandate for all new vehicle sales to be zero-emission by 2035.
No penalties for installing EV chargers with proper permits. Installing a Level 2 charger without an electrical permit is a building code violation. HOAs that prohibit EV chargers violate Civil Code §4745.
