Rancho Cucamonga follows CALGreen EV-ready requirements and AB 2097 parking reductions near transit. Level 2 home chargers need an electrical permit, and stations must be accessible.
Electric vehicle charging infrastructure in Rancho Cucamonga is regulated by California Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen) Chapter 4.106 and 5.106, which require all new residential and commercial construction to provide EV-ready circuits or installed Level 2 chargers at specified percentages of parking spaces. Homeowners installing Level 2 (240-volt) chargers must obtain an electrical permit from the Building and Safety Services Division and a licensed electrician is typically required due to panel load calculations. California Assembly Bill 2097 (2022) eliminates minimum parking requirements for developments within half a mile of high-quality transit, indirectly affecting EV-ready space counts in some projects along the Omnitrans sbX corridor. Public EV charging stations on private commercial property must include at least one ADA-accessible space per California Building Code Chapter 11B-228. Parking in an EV charging space without actively charging is prohibited and may result in citation under California Vehicle Code 22511. Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Utility customers receive EV time-of-use rates.
