2025 California green building standards code - EV
One- And Two- Family Dwellings And Townhouses With Attached Private Garages
- No changes from previous code cycle.
- Still requires just EV Capable for each dwelling unit.
New Multifamily Dwellings, Hotels And Motels And New Residential Parking Facilities
- Essentially, the number of dwelling units determines the number of EV Ready.
Number of dwelling units= number of EV Ready spaces
- The number of EV Chargers is now 25%, but this percentage applies only to the unassigned/common use parking spaces that do not already have an EV Ready outlet.
Hotels and Motels
- For new construction, 40% EV Ready and 25% EV Chargers. Applies to total number of parking spaces.
- For additions or alternations of existing multifamily buildings and hotels/motels, all new or altered parking spaces shall have either EV Ready or EV charger. Unless determined infeasible by building/designer and subject to local agency approval.
Nonresidential
- The new code breaks up the required EVCS columns into 2. Now distinguishes between “Office and Retail” and “Other than Office and Retail” and has different quantities for each.
