- Rove opened a new EV charging hub with 40 chargers at 2666 Harbor Blvd in Costa Mesa, California.
- The hub includes 400 solar panels that supply renewable electricity and provide shade for the chargers.
- On‑site amenities feature free Wi‑Fi, restrooms, a lounge, vending machines, and a nearby grocery store.
- Location places the hub roughly 5 miles from the coast and within walking distance of Orange Coast College, giving drivers a beach‑stop option.
- Rove is also planning EV charger installations in Torrance, Long Beach, and Corona, expanding its regional network.
- California remains the United States’ largest EV and charging market, underscoring the importance of new infrastructure like this hub.
Why it matters: EV drivers in the Los Angeles area gain a conveniently located, solar‑powered charging station, reducing range anxiety and reliance on grid electricity, while Rove expands its market presence in California’s largest EV market. The hub’s amenities—including free Wi‑Fi, restrooms, and a lounge—also attract non‑driving visitors, supporting local commerce.
