Lodi, CA Parking Rules: EV Charging (2026)

California Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen, Title 24 Part 11) Chapter 4 requires new single-family and duplex construction to have at least one EV-ready 208/240V circuit terminated in a dedicated outlet or load center, and new multifamily construction to have 10% EV-ready plus 25% EV-capable spaces effective January 1, 2023. San Joaquin County Building Services and the Stockton, Lodi, Manteca, and Tracy building departments enforce these provisions at plan check. Existing homes may add Level 2 chargers with an electrical permit issued on an expedited basis under AB 1236 (Gov. Code §65850.7): plan review must be completed within 5 days for 1-2 family homes. Public charging stations must comply with ADA accessibility under CA Building Code 11B-812 (effective 2024) and with the NEVI Formula Program signage and reliability standards along I-5 and I-205 corridors. Civil Code §4745 prohibits HOAs from effectively preventing installation of EV charging in an owner's dedicated parking space and caps aesthetic restrictions at a $1,000 cost adder. Stockton and Lodi participate in the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District's EV rebate programs that layer onto the state's Clean Cars 4 All and federal Section 30C credits.
