This is what EV charging should look like. As a Tesla owner, I've charged at a lot of stations over the years, and Rove is by far one of the nicest charging facilities I've been to. The first thing that stood out was the size of the station. There are 40 DC fast chargers, including 27 Tesla chargers, so finding an available charger wasn't an issue. The entire facility feels modern, clean, and thoughtfully designed with large solar canopies providing shade over the charging stalls. What really separates Rove from a typical charging stop is everything else they offer. There's a ReCharge by Gelson's market with snacks, drinks, and fresh food, a comfortable lounge with free Wi-Fi, clean restrooms, a car wash, complimentary vacuums, and even a water bottle filling station. It feels more like a premium travel stop than a charging station. I especially appreciated the little details. The property was spotless, there was security on site, and the complimentary vacuums were a nice touch. The facility feels safe, well-maintained, and welcoming whether you're stopping for 15 minutes or a longer charge. The location is also convenient right off the 5 Freeway, making it an easy stop while traveling through Orange County. As EV adoption continues to grow, this is exactly the type of charging experience I'd like to see more of. Plenty of chargers, great amenities, clean facilities, and a comfortable place to spend your charging time. If you're an EV owner and haven't checked out Rove yet, it's worth the stop. read more

I have stopped here a few time now while traveling from San Diego to L.A. and it's super convenient. With about 40 fast chargers there's plenty of charging for all types of EVs. 28 Tesla chargers, 12 CCS with NACS connection plus 2 CHAdeMo connections allow cars from Tesla to nearly all makes of EVs to charge quickly. There is free WiFi, restrooms, quick grab and go bites and even a drive thru car wash with vacuums. Just off the 17th Street exit of the I-5 freeway, this location is easy on and off on your commute. read more

Rove Charging - Restrooms and mini Gelsons market - EV Charging Stations Near Me - Santa Ana, California

I've driven EVs (Tesla and Subaru) across the US and back 3x (with my dog) and have a LOT of experience with American charging stations. Ive seen ALL sorts of charging situations as they've developed over the years. Rove stations are head and shoulders above all that I've seen anywhere. I've often wished for them on my trips. Covered, safe (cameras and security), a great store with healthy options (and not so healthy if you want, too), staff walking around to help, CLEAN, people who remember your name, work lounge, WiFi, bathrooms, handicap spot with people to assist your charging, free vacuum, windshield cleaning stations, trash cans, a fast car wash that isn't restricted in car size, a place for my dog to walk, great charging prices, water bottle fill up, easy access from road and to highway. That's likely not even a complete list. I wish there were more of them! Truly the bar that all charging stations should be aiming for. read more

Was curious about this EV charging station, so I stopped by on my down to OC to give the no touch car wash a try. Arrived and didn't need to charge, so I got in line for the car wash. There was a car ahead of me and it didn't take very long. You pay using the kiosk just outside the entrance. You select the wash you'd like and wait for the signs to drive in and where to stop. I picked the brush less wash, to avoid swirls on my paint. The machine moves above and around your vehicle. The wash itself was pretty good, however the dryer was bad, The dryers are located by the exit door, and you should drive out really SLOW, so that it can blow all the water off the vehicle. There are no signs that tell you this. So once the sign told me to leave, I drove out normally and well the blower didn't work very well. There are vacuums outside - which I used to blow most of the water off and used the towels I had in my trunk. Overall the wash was pretty good. There have a lot of chargers there, with all different ports. I didn't get to check out the pricing on the charging though. The restrooms are clean inside and there are tables to sit and work. Will give it another try next time I head down to OC. read more

I was in Irvine and decided to give my Kona a little "luxe" charging so I stopped in at Rove. Washrooms, food, security, and plenty of available chargers! Who could ask for more? I guess I could ask that the WiFi extended outdoors to the charging area, but so what, you can go sit inside at the work area and charge your phone there! Gelson's food was a nice touch albeit a bit on the pricey side but better than no food, eh?! Charging was a snap, fast, and less expensive than by my home. I really like the Rover app and the display on the charger keeping you informed of your $$$s spent, time, speed, etc. All in all, a good experience. read more

This is what all EV charging should look like. My favorite charging place by far. - plenty of stations for non-Tesla so never have to wait - very fast charging of 350kW on 2 stations and 150kW on the rest of them. - clean bathrooms - upscale fresh market with great selections by Gelson's - comfortable waiting area with dining tables and chairs - very well lit at night - easy in and out - competitive pricing better than Electrify America Can't wait to see more Rove opening elsewhere! read more

Convenient charging location with a clean and welcoming setup. I liked having a comfortable place to sit while my car charged. The process was straightforward, and everything worked as expected. A few more available chargers during busy hours would make it even better. read more

This is more than just a charging station. It's an oasis! Clean, quiet, and orderly. Chargers are easy to use, there are free vacuums, and there's a car wash that costs roughly the same as other washes in the area. The indoor lounge has plenty of tables, chairs, and power outlets. Restrooms are clean and there's a sink in the common area that doesn't require you to open any doors if you just want to wash your hands. The market stocks an impressive variety of items despite its smaller size--they had everything from hot coffee to fresh hamburger patties to Hot Wheels toys. Great place to charge your EV, get it clean, and take a break from the busyness of your day! read more

Great visit again today! Many chargers working for easy fast charging hookup. They currently have the lowest price 24 hours at day at .48 per kWh. Usually some other locations only have that rate from 12am to 6am. We were promptly greeted by their service attendants and made to feel welcome. We visited the complimentary 24/7 break room and rest rooms. The attached mini Gelson's is nice stocked. When they're closed the break room has a self service machine for essential snacks. We enjoyed a 30 minute picnic at their outdoor shaded tables while charging up our EV. The quick car wash service on the way out was super convenient too. Hard to go wrong here. Just ask anyone there if you need help. read more

I'm impressed with the convenience at the ROVE car charging station in Santa Ana! No waiting for a charge, a comfy waiting area and outdoors with tables & chairs, Gelson's coffee on the same lot, and top-notch customer service from Gelson's and ROVE attendant. The attendant walked me through setup and even showed the car wash and vacuum. Irvine could really use this kind of service! I love this place. read more

The best charging station I've ever been to! We came here because the rates were better here than the Super Chargers nearby. $0.43 per kWh than $0.50 or more. There are Tesla chargers and Rove chargers. There's a waiting lounge with 2 TVs, WiFi, hydration stations, bathrooms. Gelman's market is next door, it's a smaller version but lots of fresh and yummy options there. Everything is super clean, Rove attendants are on site. I'd definitely come back! The guy that was charging his car while vacuum cleaning is winning! Simply the best! read more

Back in the area and charging at Rove again. What a great place to charge. Just as I remember it... clean lounge, clean restrooms, a connected Gelson's branded convenience store. Best of all, the staff is still so friendly and helpful. Jeff, the manager, and Rosario and Leo, introduced themselves and were there for anything I needed. I found out they're opening a new location in Costa Mesa. Well done, y'all. A great business that is expanding fast. The net of it... a pleasure to stop here for charging instead of being isolated back behind a building or in a far off parking lot. (We're not simply directed to add-on chargers at an existing location. This place is made just for us, the EV community.) read more

Rove is a lounge recharging stop....I came here to charge my car and its a great place to chill and wait while the car gets charged(requesting EV charge Service)...The restrooms are super clean. There is also free machine water that you can fill your bottle water and also there is a small Gelson's market next to it and a vendor machine. There is also TV screen so there is no dull moment. I needed charge for my EV and this location has my 5/5 favorite list...So if you are looking for do some of your groceries, have a lounge to sit and chill and use a crystal clean restroom and also enjoy TV and mot being outside in hot weather while requesting a charge for your EV this is your place to be. Im still inside and Ive never had a review for Rove but while im sitting inside and enjoying cool weather, i can give my feedback LIVE... its not my first time being here and obviously not the last time either. Stop by and it will be your fav location to get your EV charged... read more

The Rove EV Charging Station in Santa Ana is a brand new charging area for all EV's! This location is only a few miles south from Disneyland, and a terrific place to get fast EV Charging for your Tesla or any other EV's. They have a lounge with a vending machine & restrooms that's 24/7. Their water fountains are similar to an airport, where you can also refill your reusable bottles. The grocery store is open from 6am - 8pm everyday, so if you go during those hours, you can purchase food & heat them up, and dine at the lounge. They also have a car wash here too, which their operational hours are from 6am - 8pm too. I really like this Supercharging area, as I wish & hope that they have more of these along popular traveled freeways & highways, such as along I-5, I-10, I-15 or I-40; then I would be stopping at these Rove charging stations a lot more! I hope to see them expand in the future. read more

After seeing this on the local news a few months ago I had to check this place out. Located off the 5 frwy and within minutes off the offramp Lincoln blvd heading south bound. The Rove is a one stop charging destination with 40 combined chargers for Tesla vehicles and CCS charging. In addition, there's a customer lounge, car wash and a Gelson's recharge mini market. The cost of charging my Tesla was actually less than at a Tesla supercharging network during peak hours during the week. I was taken back how clean and how many staff members I saw during my visit. After checking the premises, I love the food and drink option at Gelson's, the practical layout of the lounge and there's even a car wash that includes complimentary self-service air, and vacuuming. I'll definitely return here before heading out to my next road trip to San Deigo. read more

Exquisite concept and execution! Large, well-lit, and well maintained EV charging station. A refreshing oasis right off the freeway in Oasis. Super clean restrooms. Awesome decor and cleanliness in the lounge. Supercharging costed $.39kwh. The Gelson's mini market closed at 8pm so we missed it this time, but definitely looking forward to checking it out. There's a vending machine with beverages and food for after hours satiation needs. The security guard was courteous and professional when I requested entry. Perfect pit stop to recharge our vehicles and stretch our legs before heading home to San Diego. Definitely recommended! read more

I've never experienced any charging station quite like this. It's only $.0.39/kWh to charge, so it's one of the cheapest places to charge in Santa Ana area. It's one of the most convenient places to charge your car.

Plenty of charging stations. From Tesla to Non-Tesla. All fast charging. They even have complimentary Vacuum (strong suction), Air and Windshield Squeegee. Regular Trash Bin and Recycle Bins. This should be the new standard for EV Station. Look forward to see more places like this and sustain. Btw, saw Santa Ana PD patroling the parking lot area during day time. Nice! read more

Rove Charging - Charger trickling down to level 2 - EV Charging Stations Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Prior to Rove my primary charging station was EVgo. EVgo's customer service suck ass so bad that I'd rather drive further to get to this new Rove station. So far I've been nothin but impressed with Rove's concept and VIP service. The fact that Rove has live attendants onsite to help with issues is such an advantage and peace of mind. They offer nice clean convenient restrooms. Most charging stations are in plazas forcing you to seek public restrooms. Their lounge areas and collab with Gelson's Fresh Market making the experienced go by so quickly. I've taken advantage of their $10 sandwiches combo meal deal which is so affordable when you consider this ain't no 7-11 or Circle K. The selection is healthier and higher quality. I hope Rove flourishes and continue to open more charge. read more

I am so happy to fine this charging station, carwash, mini mart all in one! But the best part is the super clean bathrooms!

Been here a few times later at night and the little market was closed. Which isn't a problem they are open from 6am-8pm so I get it haha but after hours need security to be let into the restrooms which is fine as long as they are there. Charging is quick simple and have a station like this is perfect. Gives both options for level 3 charging, wouldn't make sense to have slower lvl 2 chargers. I left earlier and the gentleman was nice in the store and super welcoming and a good vibe. Food options by Gels is pretty cool. Even when the store front is closed they have a refrigerated machine that can open and you can + pay for the items just by tapping mobile payment. Everything is new and clean so can't say much negative about the location. Area is fine and it seems like this station is even more competitive than standalone Tesla super chargers for pricing so if I need to juice up. Will check here first. read more

Rove Charging - Rove and Tesla Charging Stations with shaded coverage. - EV Charging Stations Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Cool little charging spot with a market you can grab snacks at with clean restrooms and a little sitting area.

First off, this is Rove EV charging station, not the dispensary. While the facilities are clean and offer free vacuums, windshield cleaners, CCS, Chademo, and Tesla chargers, they completely lack legacy J1772 connectors or even a standard electrical outlet--essential charging options for many EVs. Rove positions itself as a branded power station for all-in-one convenience, but the lack of J1772 charging is a significant oversight. Additionally, the station isn't suitable for larger vehicles like semis. While the site itself is well-maintained and includes amenities such as a car wash, restrooms, and a supermarket, there's no grab-and-go option like Amazon Go, which would elevate the experience. The payment terminals also need an upgrade. A simple tap-to-pay system for credit cards or phones would be far more efficient and avoid the frequent errors caused by the "push start" process. I also noticed that while there's a car wash, there are no clear signs explaining how to purchase a wash or membership, which would make sense for regular visitors like EV owners. It would also be great to see Rove engage more with the community--perhaps through branded merchandise, a car care market, or active social media updates. For instance, I didn't know the station was closed until I drove by and saw it was operational again. That said, the local team is fantastic--professional and friendly. I'd love to see improvements at this location and am even open to helping out or hosting an EV classic car show. read more
