Reedley follows California AB 1236 for streamlined EV charger permits. CALGreen requires EV-ready wiring in new homes. Permits are ministerial with no discretionary review.
Reedley adopts the California Building Code and related codes through RMC Section 9-1-1, which incorporates the California Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen). Under CALGreen, new single-family homes and townhouses with attached garages must include a dedicated 240-volt branch circuit or EV-ready outlet capable of supporting a Level 2 charger. For new multifamily housing, 40 percent of parking spaces must be EV-capable (conduit installed) and 10 percent must have Level 2 chargers installed. Assembly Bill 1236 (2015) requires all California cities, including Reedley, to create a streamlined, ministerial permitting process for EV charging station installations. Applications that meet health and safety requirements must be approved administratively without discretionary review. A parking space served by EV charging equipment counts toward minimum parking requirements, so property owners do not lose parking capacity by installing chargers. Residential property owners may install Level 2 chargers in their garages or driveways with a standard electrical permit from the Reedley Building Division.
No penalties for residents. Cities that fail to provide streamlined EV permitting may face state enforcement under AB 1236. Standard electrical permit violations for unpermitted installations carry building code fines.
