Annual Awards Program Recognizes Innovation in Automotive and Transportation Technologies Around the Globe
SANTA ANA, Calif., Oct. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Rove, a local developer of full-service electric vehicle (EV) charging centers, today announced it has been named "Charging Station Solution of the Year" in the sixth annual AutoTech Breakthrough Awards program conducted by AutoTech Breakthrough, a leading market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies and products in the global automotive and transportation technology markets today.
"As early EV enthusiasts, we have experienced firsthand the long lines, broken plugs, and inadequate amenities available for owners needing to charge their EVs. We identified and systematically addressed every major public charging pain point that has existed for almost a decade. We knew there was a better way, and so, we set out to design easy, fast, and convenient charging," said Bill Reid, CEO of Rove. "Thank you to AutoTech Breakthrough for this recognition."
Rove's first charging center in Santa Ana, California is a blueprint for eliminating the fundamental pain points that have plagued EV charging infrastructure. With 40 ultra-fast chargers, an EV driver can be in and out of a Rove in 20 minutes or less. Rove Santa Ana also features comprehensive amenities that EV owners have long desired, including:
- A lounge space with free Wi-Fi
- Clean restrooms
- A Gelson's ReCharge Market
- A well-lit shade canopy
- Nighttime security guard
- Tap-to-pay for charging without a mandatory app or subscription
- Free vacuums and windshield squeegees
- Plenty of trash cans
Rove is also committed to making the public EV charging experience more approachable. During peak hours, friendly and knowledgeable staff are available to assist EV drivers in real-time, monitor equipment, and maintain clean facilities. Rove also hosts regular EV events to educate and engage the local EV community.
Rove's next center will open in Costa Mesa later this year or early 2026. Other upcoming locations include Torrance, Corona and Long Beach.

Additional barriers to entry include customer pain points like range anxiety, amenities and staff - or lack thereof - at charging stations, ease of use, safety, reliability, and wait times," said Bryan Vaughn, Managing Director, AutoTech Breakthrough. "While the automotive industry races toward electrification, Rove has eliminated these fundamental pain points in EV charging infrastructure, creating a comprehensive solution that transforms how drivers experience EV ownership. We're proud to award Rove with 'Charging Station Solution of the Year!'"
