Plumas County, CA Parking Rules: EV Charging (2026)

Research of Plumas County's official EV Charging Stations (EVCS) page found no county parking ordinance governing EV charging spaces, idling time limits, or stall enforcement. The County's EVCS page focuses on streamlined permitting for installing charging equipment under California Assembly Bills 1236 and 970 (expedited, ministerial permits), not on parking rules. Public charging in the county is provided by private and utility operators rather than the County government - for example, DC fast chargers at Caboose Park in Old Town Portola, Tesla Superchargers at Plumas Pines Shopping Center in Quincy, ChargePoint Level 2 units at Dame Shirley Plaza, and a Level 2 site at 150 Commercial St. in Portola. Where parking at a charger is enforced, it generally rests on California Vehicle Code Section 22511, the statewide rule that a non-electric or non-charging vehicle may not park in a space designated and signed for EV charging, and on the private property owner's own posted rules. The Plumas County Transportation Commission is developing an EV master plan (targeted for 2027) that may assess future charging needs, but as of this research no enforceable county EV-stall parking ordinance exists for unincorporated areas.
