Pico Rivera's Chapter 15.54 streamlines permitting for installing EV charging stations rather than regulating parking, so charging-space parking is governed by California Vehicle Code Section 22511; the City Hall public chargers carry a posted 3-hour limit.
Pico Rivera adopted Chapter 15.54 of the Municipal Code to create an expedited, streamlined permitting process for installing electric vehicle charging stations, in compliance with California Government Code Section 65850.7. That chapter addresses installation approval, not parking enforcement. Parking in a designated charging space is instead governed by California Vehicle Code Section 22511, under which a local authority may designate stalls for the exclusive purpose of charging electric vehicles, and a person may not park in such a space unless the vehicle is connected for charging. The city operates public Level-2 charging stations in the City Hall parking lot, first-come, first-served, with a three-hour charging limit and a fifteen-minute grace period. Drivers should follow posted signs at each location.
Parking a non-electric or non-charging vehicle in a designated EV charging space, or exceeding a posted charging time limit such as the City Hall three-hour cap, may result in a citation under California Vehicle Code Section 22511 and posted rules.
