Fontana, CA Parking Rules: EV Charging (2026)

New construction in Fontana must provide EV charging infrastructure consistent with the California Green Building Standards Code. For new single-family homes and duplexes, CALGreen Section 4.106.4 requires a dedicated 208/240V branch circuit terminated in an EV-ready receptacle or junction box in the garage. Multi-family buildings must provide EV-capable parking spaces (raceway and panel capacity) for 10 percent or more of total parking, with a subset EV-ready and EV-charging-installed per the adopted CALGreen tier. Commercial projects follow the CALGreen nonresidential schedule (typically 6 percent EV-capable, with ADA-accessible spaces). Homeowner installations of Level 2 (240V) chargers require a City of Fontana Building and Safety electrical permit; permits are typically issued over-the-counter or online for straightforward installations. California Civil Code Section 4745 bars HOAs from effectively prohibiting installation of EV chargers on exclusive-use or deeded parking, and Section 4745.1 extends similar protection to renters in multi-family buildings under Civil Code 1952.7. Southern California Edison offers rebates for residential Level 2 installations; the Fontana Public Utilities Commission does not operate separate electric service. Public chargers are deployed by SCE, Electrify America, EVgo, and Tesla across Fontana retail centers.
