Rove Charging Station - Santa Ana, California

Vijay B. S.

The Tesla Supercharger at Rove is absolutely top-notch! It’s more than just a charging station – it’s an experience. The lounge and market are perfect for relaxing or grabbing a quick snack while your car charges, and the pup pads are a great addition for pet owners. The car wash and complimentary vacuums are a game-changer, making it easy to keep your car spotless.

The location is impeccably clean, well-maintained, and has plenty of chargers available, so there’s no waiting around. On top of all that, the charging rates are cheaper compared to other locations, which is a big plus. With all these amenities and a convenient setup, this Supercharger really sets the standard. Highly recommend stopping here for a comfortable and efficient charging experience!

Five stars is less than it deserves, the place is open 24/7. New, Clean, neat, plenty of chargers, fast, arms, and rove they get many 180 and 2 350. Clean bathrooms so many of them , their setup is wonderful. Very nice, I would come back if it was less expensive to charge or they had packages and subscriptions to lower the cost, charging cost and charging cost varies during the day.
Had free vacuum, express car wash and so many other facilities, I loved it.
Very successful project idea

The chargers were very easy to find, easy to set up, easy to get a snack from both the small grocery store as well as from the vending machine. The only thing that was hard was the feeling of guilt when I caused the demise of the small plant behind my laptop, visible in the reflection on the window. Will definitely come here, out of my way, because I'm sure to get charging straight away and can comfortably get work done. Leave with a car wash, if needed.

Staff were incredibly amiable and pleasant. 11/10, would do again. My best charging experience from start to finish.

Very nice! Has more than everything you could ask for at a charging stop. 28 of the newest, fastest chargers, clean, convienece store, and fast food options, and on top of that, 3 spots where you can vacuum your car or put air in tires free!

First off, this is an EV charging station, not the dispensary. While the facilities are clean and offer free vacuums, windshield cleaners, CCS, Chademo, and Tesla chargers, they completely lack legacy J1772 connectors or even a standard electrical outlet—essential charging options for many EVs.

Rove positions itself as a branded power station for all-in-one convenience, but the lack of J1772 charging is a significant oversight. Additionally, the station isn’t suitable for larger vehicles like semis. While the site itself is well-maintained and includes amenities such as a car wash, restrooms, and a supermarket, there’s no grab-and-go option like Amazon Go, which would elevate the experience.

The payment terminals also need an upgrade. A simple tap-to-pay system for credit cards or phones would be far more efficient and avoid the frequent errors caused by the “push start” process.

I also noticed that while there’s a car wash, there are no clear signs explaining how to purchase a wash or membership, which would make sense for regular visitors like EV owners.

It would also be great to see Rove engage more with the community—perhaps through branded merchandise, a car care market, or active social media updates. For instance, I didn’t know the station was closed until I drove by and saw it was operational again.

That said, the local team is fantastic—professional and friendly. I’d love to see improvements at this location and am even open to helping out or hosting an EV classic car show.

Update:
This lounge is not 24/7 I need to go to the bathroom and it’s closed locked no pin pad or access to unlock the door to go to the bathroom

Great new charging site, how EV charging sites should be. Always lots of availability. Very clean restrooms. Little shop. They even have staff during the day to assist people in charging (at night there is security too).

Can't wait for more locations!

Very clean facility and how modern charging stations should be. CCS pricing is very high at .58/kw and only good for emergency or occasional needs

I believe they have tesla v4 stalls that has magic dock “ccs” adapter built into it. For non tesla use the tesla app and signup to charge non tesla ev you get better rates. For food or snacks after 8 pm they have a vending machine inside the lounge to the left next to the fountain that you can refill your water bottles. The area is well lit with security guard on site. Did I mention they have touch “brush”and touchless “brushless” car wash, a spot to air your tires, vaccum, squeegee windshield and over head covering from the elements
