AB 1820: Electric vehicle charging stations: permit fees.

The bill aims to regulate the installation of electric vehicle charging stations in cities and counties. It requires local governments to adopt expedited permitting processes for these stations. The bill sets permit fee limits for residential and commercial electric vehicle charging stations, which cannot exceed specific amounts based on the station's capacity. Local agencies must provide substantial evidence of the reasonable cost of issuing permits to charge fees above these limits. The changes proposed by the bill address a matter of statewide concern and apply to all cities, including charter cities.
