Electric Vehicle (EV) Charger Inspection and Compliance

County sealers may inspect the functionality of EV chargers operated by public agencies within their jurisdiction. If an EV charger is inoperable, the sealer must mark the EV charger with a tag that says “out of order”. EV chargers must be repaired or corrected within 30 days and are subject to retesting and verification by the county sealer. EV chargers owned by electric utilities are also subject to inspection.

An annual registration fee may be applied for the cost of inspecting and testing an EV charger. Additional requirements and exceptions may apply.
