In 2015, California passed Assembly Bill 1236 that asks towns under 200,000 to provide for expedited permits for EV charging stations.
What did AB 1236 require small cities to do to make more EV charging stations a reality?
- provide a “submittal check list” for EV station applicants
- applicant approval through the issuance of a non-discretionary permit such as a building permit
- limit permit denials to whether the EV station would have an “adverse impact upon the public health and safety.”
