Oceanside has implemented SolarAPP+ for expedited processing of solar and EV charger permits. Applications are submitted through solarapp.nrel.gov with a $25 processing fee. Standard residential Level 2 EV charger installations require an electrical permit for the dedicated 240-volt circuit. Level 1 chargers using existing 120V outlets typically do not need permits. California Government Code section 65850.7 requires expedited processing. New construction must comply with CALGreen EV-ready infrastructure requirements. HOAs cannot unreasonably restrict EV charger installations under California Civil Code section 4745.
