Moorpark supports EV charging with a streamlined permitting process and is piloting automated permitting through SolarAPP+ for eligible residential solar-and-storage projects. The city has published guidelines and checklists for residential and commercial EV charging station installations. Public EV chargers are available at city facilities.
The City of Moorpark has developed permitting checklists and guidelines for both residential and non-residential electric vehicle charging stations. Residential EV charger installations typically require an electrical permit from Building and Safety. Level 1 (120V) chargers plugged into existing outlets may not require a permit, but Level 2 (240V) installations require electrical work and a permit. The city's streamlined process supports California's goal of zero-emission vehicle adoption. Public EV charging locations in Moorpark can be found on the US Department of Energy's Alternative Fuels Station Locator. The city is also piloting SolarAPP+ for combined solar-and-EV installations. New commercial and multifamily developments may be required to include EV-ready parking spaces under California Building Code CALGreen requirements.
Installing an EV charger without required electrical permits may result in a stop-work order and requirement to obtain retroactive permits. Unpermitted electrical work may also affect homeowner insurance coverage. Contact Building and Safety at (805) 517-6272 for permit requirements.
