Livermore follows SB 946 and AB 1236 streamlined EV charger permitting; CalGreen Title 24 mandates EV-ready infrastructure in new construction.
Under AB 1236 (Gov Code §65850.7), Livermore must process residential Level 2 EV charger permits over the counter with streamlined review — typically 1-3 business days.

CalGreen Title 24 Part 6 requires new single-family homes to include EV-ready wiring (40-amp 208/240V circuit) and new multifamily/commercial to provide EV-capable spaces. Livermore building permits for home chargers cost around $100-150. Public charging available at downtown garages, Livermore Premium Outlets, and LLNL visitor areas.
Unpermitted installation: retroactive permit fees plus inspection. Blocking EV-only space: $65 citation.
