EV charging infrastructure in unincorporated LA County benefits from AB 2097 (no parking minimums near transit), CA Civil Code 1947.6 (tenant EV charging rights), and CALGreen mandatory EV-ready spaces in new construction. Electrical permits required for charger installation.
EV charging infrastructure in unincorporated LA County benefits from multiple state laws. AB 2097 (2022) eliminates parking minimums near transit, encouraging EV-oriented development. AB 2565 requires landlords to approve tenant requests for EV charger installation in most cases. CALGreen building code requires new construction to include EV-ready parking spaces (conduit and panel capacity). LA County offers streamlined permitting for residential EV charger installation under SB 1236. HOAs cannot unreasonably restrict EV charger installation under Civil Code 4745.
There are no penalties for installing EV chargers — the trend is toward facilitating installation. Landlords who unreasonably refuse tenant EV charger requests may face civil liability under AB 2565. HOAs that block EV charger installation violate Civil Code 4745 and may face legal action. Electrical work without a permit carries standard building code penalties.
