What's Happening?
A new electric vehicle (EV) charging station has opened in Costa Mesa, California, featuring a partnership between Rove and Gelson’s Markets. Located on Harbor Boulevard, the facility offers 40 direct-current fast chargers, including Tesla V4 Superchargers
and ABB high-power chargers. The site includes a Gelson’s ReCharge micro-market, providing snacks and grocery essentials for drivers while they wait. This is the second collaboration between Rove and Gelson’s, following a similar project in Santa Ana. The station aims to support the growing demand for EV infrastructure and promote cleaner air in Orange County.

The opening of this EV charging station is a step towards enhancing the infrastructure needed to support the increasing number of electric vehicles. It reflects a broader trend of integrating convenience with sustainability, as drivers can charge their vehicles while shopping for essentials. This development is crucial for reducing emissions and promoting environmental sustainability in urban areas. It also highlights the role of public-private partnerships in advancing green technology and infrastructure.
