    Charging stations
    Molly M.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Clean parking lot well laid out

    This is a bit of an EV truck stop in the city. I like it. Charge stations are available from Tesla and Rove for regular EVs. There's a Gelsons affiliated market that looks pretty reasonable in pricing. Everything looks like some quality and it performs well. Service is good and they are adding a couple of faster ccs chargers.

    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!

    Wow.. really nice charging/gas station with a full mart, microwave, snacks, etc AND super clean. They even had tamales, fresh fruit, tapatio ramen, pasta etc. (28/100)

    The restroom inside the lounge.

    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.

    Charging my baby!

    See all

    Ask the Community - Rove Charging

    Can the car wash only be used by EV vehicles? Also, is it a touchless car wash?

    Any vehicle may purchase and use the car wash. It has a touch-less option available too.

    What are the prices for the car wash? And can one use the car wash without charging?

    I think it was $10-$12.

    (5 reviews)

    I usually hit up the Santa Ana mall charger but wanted to check this location out…read more On the way here, I kept wondering if the directions were correct. It is definitely located in a not so nice neighborhood of Santa Ana. Once I arrived, I appreciated the 2 hour grace period that allows for free charging and the Tesla charger signs available. However, the place is just kind of deserted. I am not sure how it usually is but I definitely agree with the other Yelp user that I wouldn't come here when the sun goes down. Honestly, I probably wouldn't return unless I was in dire need for a charge (Santa Ana marketplace was full or closed). I got excited with all the available slots but the charging is so slow compared to the other superchargers I visit. It was nice to check this location off my list but I probably won't be returning.

    Santa Ana, Ca. I…read morereally like this charging location, it is never busy and there are twenty stalls of the newer pedestals which seem to be faster that the older tall ones. It may be hard to find, which could explain why it's not used much. It's in a parking garage located between 4th and 5th streets. Enter on Spurgeon St. from 5th (One Way Street) or 4th. Take the west garage entrance, if you take the east, that's ok, there is a bridge at the roof level. The charging stations are on the third level. You have to take a parking ticket from the machine when you enter. There is a certain amount of free parking, I believe it to be 90 minutes. When you leave you put your ticket back in the machine and the gate arm opens up for you. I haven't been here at night so I don't know if it's sketchy or not. There has always been a guy who hangs out in his car at the end of the garage, who may be a security person. The parking garage abuts a food court off 4th St. with many great choices. Covid has affected many of them and they are shuttered. I have had a great burger there as well as Asian and Mexican choices.
