Ventura supports EV charging infrastructure under California mandates including AB 1236, which requires streamlined permitting for residential EV chargers. The City offers expedited permitting for Level 1 and Level 2 home chargers. New construction must include EV-ready parking per CALGreen code requirements.
California AB 1236 (2015) requires cities to create streamlined, expedited permitting processes for EV charging stations. Ventura complies by offering expedited review for residential Level 1 and Level 2 charger installations. CALGreen building code requires new residential construction to include EV-ready parking spaces with conduit and electrical capacity. Running EV charging cables across public sidewalks is generally not permitted. The City is expanding public EV charging infrastructure as part of its climate action plan. Home EV charger installations typically require an electrical permit.
Installing an EV charger without a permit may result in code enforcement action and required removal or correction. Running cables across public rights-of-way may result in citations.
