Folsom follows CALGreen mandatory EV-ready requirements for new construction and AB 970 streamlined residential EV charger permits. Permits are typically processed within 1-3 business days. HOA restrictions on EV chargers are limited by Civil Code §4745.
New residential construction in Folsom must comply with the 2022 CALGreen Code which requires a percentage of parking spaces in multifamily developments to be EV-ready or EV-capable, and single-family homes to include an EV-ready 208/240V circuit in the garage. Under AB 970, cities must process residential Level 2 EV charger permits within 3 business days for one- and two-family dwellings. Folsom offers an over-the-counter permit for standard residential chargers. Commercial EV charger installations follow the regular electrical permit path. California Civil Code §4745 prohibits HOAs from banning EV chargers on owner-controlled parking and limits conditions that significantly increase cost. Folsom has multiple public DC fast-charging stations along US-50 and at the Folsom Premium Outlets.
