Anaheim, California EV Charging Stations Info

Anaheim draws millions of visitors to Disneyland Resort, Angel Stadium, and the Honda Center every year, and a growing share of those visitors arrive in electric vehicles. EV charging in Anaheim has expanded across the resort corridor, downtown districts, and Anaheim Hills to meet that demand. Whether you are a first-time visitor planning a Disney trip or a resident of the Platinum Triangle looking for a reliable public charging network, EV charging in Anaheim is more accessible than ever. This resource covers where to charge, how much it costs, which charging networks operate here, and how to make the most of every session.

Charging the Disneyland Resort Corridor and Harbor Boulevard

The stretch of Harbor Boulevard and Katella Avenue near Disneyland Resort is Anaheim's most charging-dense zone. The Anaheim Resort area and the areas around Harbor and Katella offer a concentration of hotels within walking distance of Disneyland parks. EV charging in Anaheim's resort corridor is available at multiple hotel properties, including Hilton-branded hotels that offer on-site charging stations for guests. Hilton Garden Inn Anaheim Resort, Home2 Suites by Hilton Anaheim Resort, SunCoast Park Hotel Anaheim Resort, Hilton Anaheim, and Homewood Suites by Hilton Anaheim Resort Convention Center all offer EV charging near Disneyland.

Visitors should note that hotel charging stations vary in speed and cost. At certain properties, hotel EV charging can be slow and expensive, so it is worth researching before relying on it. Tesla Superchargers are also available nearby on Katella Ave and Lincoln Ave. Use the ChargeHub map to check real-time availability before you arrive.

Anaheim Convention Center and the Platinum Triangle

The Anaheim Convention Center on West Katella Avenue is a major destination for business travelers and event attendees. The North Garage at the Convention Center has charging stations located on P1, P3, and P4, with additional EV parking at the Anaheim Marriott and Hilton Anaheim. EV charging in Anaheim's Platinum Triangle, which surrounds Angel Stadium and the Honda Center, is supported by ChargePoint and Blink charging stations in parking structures and shopping areas.

An Electrify America charging station operates at 440 N Euclid St in Anaheim, providing Level 3 charging (DC fast charging) for drivers who need a rapid top-up. The Anaheim Packing District in downtown Anaheim also has public charging nearby, making it easy to charge while exploring the city's dining and retail scene.

Charging Networks Operating in Anaheim

Anaheim EV charging stations are served by a diverse set of charging networks. The most popular charging networks in Anaheim include ChargePoint, Blink, and LOOP, providing service across the city. Tesla Superchargers, EVgo, and Electrify America round out the network landscape for drivers who need Level 3 charging (DC fast charging).

Here is a comparison of the major networks active in Anaheim:

Network	Charging Level	Typical Cost	Best For
ChargePoint	Level 2 (240V, adds 11-54 miles/hour)	Varies by host; per-kWh or per-hour	Hotels, workplaces, shopping
EVgo	Level 3 DC fast charging	~$0.34/kWh (member rate)	Quick top-ups, highway stops
Electrify America	Level 3 DC fast charging	~$0.35-$0.48/kWh	Fast charging on I-5 corridor
Tesla Supercharger	Level 3 DC fast charging	Per-kWh, varies by location	Tesla drivers, Katella Ave area
Blink	Level 2	Per-hour or per-kWh	Parking garages, retail

Level 2 public stations average about $0.20-$0.26 per kWh, while DC fast chargers run roughly $0.35-$0.50 per kWh, offering an 80% charge in 20-60 minutes at higher cost. ChargePoint pricing varies by host, using per-kWh, per-minute, or flat fees, so check each location before plugging in.

ChargeHub gives you a single payment solution across all of these networks. Download the ChargeHub app for iPhone or the ChargeHub app for Android to find, check availability, and pay at stations across every network without switching apps.

Connector Types for Anaheim EV Drivers

Anaheim EV charging stations support all major connector standards. Knowing your connector type prevents wasted trips.

• J1772 (standard North American AC charging connector): Found on all Level 2 stations. Compatible with every non-Tesla EV sold in North America.
• CCS (Combined Charging System, standard DC fast-charging connector): The most common DC fast-charging connector at ChargePoint, EVgo, and Electrify America stations.
• CHAdeMO (Japanese DC fast charging standard): Supported at a smaller number of stations; used by older Nissan LEAF models.
• NACS (North American Charging Standard, Tesla connector now industry-wide): Tesla Superchargers use NACS. Many 2024 and newer non-Tesla EVs now include NACS natively.

In the US, CCS and CHAdeMO are the two standard connector types for Level 3 DC fast charging. If your vehicle uses NACS, you can access Tesla Superchargers directly. CCS adapters are available for CHAdeMO vehicles at certain stations.

Anaheim Public Utilities Rebates for Businesses and Property Owners

Anaheim Public Utilities (APU) runs one of California's most active local rebate programs for public EV charging infrastructure. APU offers Public Access Electric Vehicle Charging Station rebates to commercial, industrial, and municipal customers who install Level 2 (240-Volt) or higher EV chargers at locations accessible to patrons, multi-family dwelling residents, commuters, and visitors. Under this program, customers are reimbursed up to $3,500 per charging station for public access locations, or up to $7,500 for school, affordable housing, or publicly accessible DC fast plug-in locations (maximum of 10 charging stations).

Eligible expenses include the charger purchase price and installation costs. Anaheim Public Utilities also pays the city's permit application fee for the EV charger.

Key eligibility requirements for the APU Public Access Rebate:

• Applicant must be an APU commercial, industrial, or municipal customer
• Charger must be located in the City of Anaheim
• Charger must be Level 2 (240V) or higher
• Installation must comply with APU electrical engineering requirements

Program participants who install an associated sub-meter may receive up to $3,500 additionally. Anaheim Public Utilities will also reimburse city plan check fees up to $1,500 for such participants.

Visit the Anaheim Public Utilities Public Access EV Charger Rebate page for current program details and the reservation form.

Residential Rebates from Anaheim Public Utilities

Anaheim residents who are APU customers can access a separate residential rebate program. The $300 and $600 rebate tiers cover upgrades to the existing electrical panel, including upgrades from 100-amp to 200-amp service and adding a sub-panel. Customers must sign up for the Schedule D-TOU Domestic Time-Of-Use rate to qualify for the $600 tier rebate.

Residents can elect to sign up for a TOU rate later to receive the additional $300 (equaling $600), but it must be within 12 months of initially applying for the rebate. APU mails rebate checks within 4 to 6 weeks after application approval.

Anaheim Public Utilities also offers Time-of-Use (TOU) rate plans that can reduce electric vehicle charging in Anaheim costs by shifting sessions to off-peak hours. APU will install a smart meter at no cost once a customer signs up for the TOU rate.

Charging for Anaheim Residents in Multi-Family Buildings

EV charging in Anaheim for apartment and condo residents requires a different strategy than for single-family homeowners. New residential developments in Anaheim may be "EV Ready" or "EV Capable," meaning the space meets building code requirements for future EV supply equipment installation. However, moving into an EV Ready development does not necessarily mean the parking space comes with actual charging equipment.

Residents in multi-family buildings should:

• Ask property management about existing ChargePoint or Blink installations in the parking structure
• Check whether the building qualifies for APU's Public Access EV Charger Rebate (up to $7,500 for multi-family accessible locations)
• Use the ChargeHub map to locate nearby public Level 2 stations for overnight-equivalent charging
• Identify nearby DC fast charging for quick top-ups during the day

Anaheim charging stations are strategically located throughout the city at shopping centers, parking garages, hotels, restaurants, and along major highways, giving multi-family residents multiple nearby options. Electric vehicle charging in Anaheim's North Anaheim and Anaheim Hills neighborhoods also includes apartment complexes with dedicated EV charging parking spaces.

Charging Along the I-5 Corridor and John Wayne Airport

Anaheim sits along the I-5 Santa Ana Freeway, one of Southern California's busiest travel corridors. EV charging in Anaheim along the I-5 corridor is anchored by Electrify America and Tesla Supercharger stations that serve both local drivers and road-trippers passing through Orange County.

John Wayne Airport (SNA) is approximately 13.5 miles south of the Anaheim Convention Center, about a 20-minute drive. Long Beach Airport (LGB) is 18 miles west, about 30 minutes away. Drivers heading to or from these airports can find Anaheim EV charging stations along the route on Harbor Boulevard, Katella Avenue, and near the I-5 on-ramps.

For trip planning, the ChargeHub interactive map shows all charging networks along your route, including real-time availability. This is especially useful for planning stops between Anaheim and Los Angeles (approximately 35 miles north) or San Diego (approximately 90 miles south).
