CALGreen 2026 EV Compliance
for Multifamily & Commercial.
As of January 1, 2026, CALGreen requires EV charging infrastructure on any parking lot renovation requiring a building permit. KiloWire is the only contractor in the San Gabriel Valley holding both a General Building (B) and Electrical (C-10) license — meaning we handle the entire project in-house, with no subcontractors, no coordination delays, and up to $8,500 per port in available grant funding.
CALGreen 2026: What changed, and who it affects.
California's updated Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen) significantly expanded EV infrastructure requirements, effective January 1, 2026. The key trigger: any parking lot alteration requiring a building permit must now meet new EV-ready minimums.
Non-compliance blocks your Certificate of Occupancy. KiloWire provides a free compliance audit that tells you exactly what's required before you pull your permit.
Two licenses. One team. No markup on subs.
Most electrical contractors will install the EVSE equipment — but send a separate general contractor for the civil work: trenching, conduit, concrete, asphalt patching. That means two contracts, two schedules, two markups, and twice the coordination overhead.
KiloWire holds CSLB active licenses in both General Building (B) and Electrical (C-10). Our team handles the complete scope in-house:
- Asphalt cutting & patching
- Concrete forming & pours
- Conduit trenching
- Bollard installation
- Signage & striping coordination
- Panel capacity assessment & upgrade
- High-voltage feeder runs
- EVSE equipment installation
- Load management system
- Permit pull & inspection coordination
Federal grant funding — we handle the application.
The Communities in Charge program (funded through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act) provides up to $8,500 per Level 2 charging port for eligible properties in underserved and disadvantaged communities across California. Many properties in LA County qualify.
KiloWire manages the complete grant application process — from eligibility verification through disbursement — as part of our project scope. You don't need a grant consultant.
