Two vehicles can charge simultaneously at each charger, but power is then shared between them; drivers report significantly reduced charging speed in these situations. Some chargers face unusual directions that may make connection difficult depending on vehicle design.

Fast chargers are always working and well maintained, also the area is kept clean and feels safe being located near the police station.

So many chargers there and I always find one open. It’s super easy and right off of the freeway.

This station is ok but these chargers don’t often get up to 100kw even on cars that accept more than 100kw, and also, the credit card swipe device doesn’t work reliability.

Very nice charging spot, walkable to Tongva Park and 3rd street promenade. Two of the chargers (far right) were installed facing 180 degrees backwards (maybe to make them handicap accessible?), and are difficult to use unless your vehicle charging plug in in the center of your front grill. Otherwise a nice public charging station to complete my first EV charge :)

There are always open chargers and I’ve never seen a broken one. The location is well-lit and there’s lots of restaurants nearby to relax while charging. It’s also close to the beach to walk around. A great station!
