What more could you ask for?!? I've been here a couple of times now and have had zero issues. It's clean, convenient, and has everything you could need while your Tesla charges. Definitely one of my favorite charging stops!

Lots to like here in this 3 in 1 EV charging station, car wash and mini-market…read more The EV charging is plentiful and well well utilized certainly does not ever get completely full so there are always charging spots available every single time I've been here. I will say that compared to some local places the $10 car wash is really not a great deal for the short little wash compared to other places where a full use any time membership can be had for the cost of three visits here Getting back to the positives, the market is very well stocked with lots of great items and generally most people will find an abundance here of anything they're looking for, but I'm not necessarily sure that everything here is geared toward the typical demographic of EV user and for that matter even the brand of Gelson's. Coffee options are frankly awful and there are lots of premade foods which aren't really so much grab and go but also take home so I kind of question that as well as the typical 711 style hot dog set up. The highlight here is the very comfortable lounge area with plentiful seating, which is kept immaculately clean as well as the bathrooms, which are well-maintained. Overall, this is certainly superior to just parking at EV Charger in a basic shopping center or isolated parking lot and with maybe a few tweaks it could become something excellent but even as it is, it is very good and I still highly recommend it.

The Bottom Line 4 stars: Nice shopping and entertainment complex. A lot of dining, shopping and…read moreentertainment options. As somewhat expected in a highly populated area in a big city, be vigilant and watch out for yourself, because despite cameras everywhere and the occasional security personnel, you tend to see some shady characters lurking around. Location 4 stars: In the Fairfax District area of Los Angeles, to the East of the original Farmer's Market. The Grove has a huge but very busy parking structure, so while you may have to journey to the upper levels, you will eventually find parking. Although some restaurants will validate part of the parking fees, be prepared to pay somewhere between $10 and $30 depending on how long you stay and which stores you visit. Their validation rules are fairly complex and not straightforward, so be sure to read all the fine print. They also have Valet parking on premises. Venue 4 stars: Nice modern open air set up with a Nordstrom, Zara and H&M and a bunch of smaller stores, an AMC movie theater, a Barnes and Noble, a Cheesecake Factory, and a variety of coffee shops and restaurants to fit most tastes and budgets. One catch being that the Grove parking lot cannot be validated by the Farmers Market stores and vice versa. Once you are on premises you can use the trolly to move from one end of the venue to the other. Also keep in mind that the Original Farmers Market is literally next door and attached to the Grove, which dramatically increases your food options.

There's lots of floors and we had to go to the 4th floor. Make sure to bring your ticket to validate parking at one of the stores, we spent our time at Barnes and noble to pick out some things and we validated there. The place was packed on a Sunday, since it's an outdoor area, it was really hot and staying in the stores helped cool us off, especially if they had AC on full blast. Going back to the parking lot was a challenge, since there isn't a parking attendant around, there isn't service you can get help right away. Parking price is expensive if you stay more than 2 hours, I suggest coming for the 2 hours and validate it at a store or if you end up staying longer and reaching full price (max daily), might as well spend the feast of the day there since they already have everything you need for lunch and dinner. FYI, driving out of the 4th floor took some time so if you're in a rush, so is everyone else and some cars go so fast you might not see them in time around sharp turns and yield signs!

My family and I were first-time visitors to this museum, and we truly enjoyed our visit…read more First and foremost, admission is free with advanced online reservations required. Parking was $19.00 for the first three hours with validation. The art museum is truly a gem of Los Angeles. It can be challenging to reserve tickets because open time slots fill up quickly, especially during the summer months when many people are on vacation. The artwork on display is mesmerizing, beautiful, and thought-provoking. Personally, I appreciated every single piece of art I observed, as so much work, love, and dedication went into each item on display that one can only wonder what the artists were thinking or feeling as they created their masterpieces. The entire museum is well-maintained, spotless, and fun. Security is extremely important, as evidenced by the many staff members closely monitoring the large crowds around each section of the museum. Staff members are also there to answer any questions. I wish to rerun here very soon with family and friends, as our visit was educational, inspiring, and fun.

Even though the museum is free, I suggest getting tickets on line to reserve a timed-entry in advance, It does get crowded. I did notice that there are some exhibits that require a separate paid ticket. Parking was $29 unless validated. Then it dropped down to $19. Definitely worth visiting. You won't be disappointed.

These chargers are conveniently located in a bank parking lot but there are just not enough for the…read moredemand. I charged 3 times in one week and there was always a wait. One time it was 5 cars long. The fact that the chargers are in an active bank parking lot makes things very hectic during bank hours; it is difficult to know who is waiting and who is not. There is no "take a number" system; just an informal wait of cars otherwise blocking access to regular parking spots in the lot. Finally, neither the bank nor EA seems to spend any time or money on keeping the charging areas clean. When I was there they were littered with soda cups, coffee cups, cigarette butts, etc.

Park here at your own risk!!…read more I parked here in self park and ate at Javier's. When I came out my car was blocked in as somebody parked behind me. When I tried to talk to valet, and later the front desk for parking, they had no solution. Their best answer was to wait an hour and a half for a tow truck. When I explained my wife was pregnant and we really needed a better solution (e.g. a gurney that many downtown parking lots use for this situation) they told me they didn't have that option. I tried to talk to the manager who hid from my calls for 30 minutes and when I finally did get in touch he said it was my fault since "I parked too far forward to allow somebody to park behind me." At that point it seemed insulting and almost comedic. I am posting the chat where the manager blamed me for parking too far forward as proof.

Paid through the number on the ticket you can text to pay after entering my card information and submitting payment.

Paid the $40 instead of the 70 and thought wow what a great deal I checked my bank account and the $70 did go through I then contacted the office told him about what happened manager told me to wait until the payment of the $70 went through and said if it does will give you your $40 back.

The charging station is in a shopping center setting within a garage. The line for charging station was extremely long and extended out the charger area blocking incoming and outgoing traffic. I was already in desperado mode with charging as it was nearing less than 20% charge. I also thought of the what ifs. What if my car died while waiting in line? Like what if we all need to leave quickly because of emergency type of situation. There would have been no way in and out as everyone was piled up bumper to bumper already and it was hard for me to not get stuck there just to leave the queue. I really hope the chargers get repaired soon as this is one of the very few reasonably priced superchargers in the whole area. I sure hope to not encounter another charger anxiety like that in the future!!
