The Costa Mesa charging center brings 40 all-inclusive EV chargers, premium amenities and onsite support to a high-traffic Orange County corridor
COSTA MESA, Calif., April 8, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Today, Rove, a Southern California-based developer of award-winning full-service electric vehicle (EV) charging centers, continues its expansion with the opening of its second location at 2666 Harbor Blvd., Costa Mesa, CA 92626. Building on the success of its flagship Santa Ana site, the new Costa Mesa center elevates the public charging experience with high-speed chargers, thoughtfully designed onsite amenities, and knowledgeable staff.
With more than one acre dedicated to EV charging and customer comfort, Rove - Costa Mesa features 40 direct-current (DC) fast chargers, including a mix of Tesla V4 Superchargers and ABB's premium high-power chargers—the most inclusive charging center in the region. Every charger at Rove also provides live charger status through the Rove App, Chargeway, and Google Maps.
"With our Costa Mesa opening, we continue to prove that public charging can be reliable, welcoming, and convenient," said Bill Reid, Chairman and CEO of Rove. "By combining high-speed charging, exceptional service and amenities with the most inclusive and compatible charger offerings, we're creating destinations drivers can count on."
"The City of Costa Mesa is committed to environmental stewardship, community wellbeing and economic prosperity. Indeed, one of our six City Council goals is to advance environmental sustainability and climate resiliency," said John Stephens, Mayor of the City of Costa Mesa. "Because of that, we are so happy that Rove chose Costa Mesa as the spot for its second full-service charging center."
A New Standard for the Public Charging Experience
Like its Santa Ana predecessor, Rove's Costa Mesa center blends speed, simplicity, and hospitality in one destination. The 5,384-square-foot micro-market, ReCharge by Gelson's, will feature an expanded offering including fresh produce and hot food service items such as breakfast burritos and sandwiches, chicken wings and tenders, pizza, hot dogs, soups, and other small bites. This ReCharge will also offer a selection of thoughtfully curated everyday essentials including bread, beverages, snacks, and pasta for a well-rounded experience.
"Partnering with Rove on a second location is an exciting next step in our commitment to convenience and accessibility," said Ryan Adams, President & CEO of Gelson's. "We're proud to bring our trusted offerings to even more EV drivers across Southern California and serve our valued customers in greater Orange County."
Additionally, Rove's lounge provides free Wi-Fi, a comfortable space to work or relax, and clean restrooms as an added convenience. With daytime charging support staff and nighttime security, Rove customers have the support they need to charge comfortably in the well-lit charging area.
The Costa Mesa center opened just over one year after Rove's Santa Ana full-service charging center opened to the public. The Santa Ana location hosts more than 600 customers per day on average.
- "Since the opening of Santa Ana, we've had the chance to charge hundreds of thousands of EVs in Southern California and to develop a genuine community with those drivers," said Reid. "Based on community feedback we've received, we continue to build the charging experience that EV drivers want."
What's Next for Rove
With two locations now operational in Southern California and five other developments in progress—Corona, Long Beach, Torrance, Oceanside and Palm Desert—Rove continues its plan to serve EV drivers from Orange County to San Diego County by 2027.
