City Council approved an Ordinance to add Chapter 15.67 titled Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (EVCS) to the La Habra Municipal Code. The intent of this chapter is to help streamline the electric vehicle charging station permitting process that complies with AB 1236 and AB 970, codified in Government Code Sections 65850.7 and 65850.71. In conjunction with this, the City has developed a checklist to help expedite the process.
