Inglewood, California EV Charging Stations Info

Inglewood sits at the intersection of two of Southern California's busiest EV corridors: the LAX airport zone and the Hollywood Park entertainment district.

Whether you need to top off before a Rams game at SoFi Stadium or charge while your flight departs from nearby LAX, EV charging in Inglewood offers practical options across the city. Use the ChargeHub map to locate stations in real time and check availability before you head out.

Hollywood Park District: Inglewood's EV Charging Hub

The Hollywood Park development along District Drive has become the most concentrated zone for EV charging in Inglewood. ChargePoint operates multiple stations throughout this area, serving fans, shoppers, and residents of the mixed-use district.

Key locations in the Hollywood Park zone include:

• Hollywood Park Station 9 at 1213 S. District Drive — a large ChargePoint installation open 24 hours daily
• NFL L6 at 900 District Drive — ChargePoint Level 2 charging (240V, adds 11-54 miles/hour) near the stadium complex
• SoFi Stadium event parking — EV charging stations in select parking zones accommodate different EV models during games and concerts

EV charging stations in select SoFi Stadium parking zones make it easy for EV owners to recharge while attending events, and these stations accommodate different electric vehicle models. For event days, plan your charging session early. Demand spikes significantly during sold-out games and concerts. Check real-time availability through the ChargeHub app before you arrive.

LAX Corridor Charging Along Century and Aviation Boulevards

The stretch of Inglewood closest to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) has its own distinct charging ecosystem. This zone serves rideshare drivers, airport employees, and travelers leaving vehicles at nearby parking facilities.

The Terawatt Ride-Hail Station on W. Century Boulevard

A dedicated charging station at 4600 W. Century Boulevard, Inglewood, CA 90304 was built specifically to support ride-hail and rideshare fleets serving LAX and the surrounding area. The project placed into service EV charging equipment with power up to 120 kilowatts (kW) per unit. This station primarily serves commercial fleet operators, not individual drivers.

Airport Parking with EV Charging

EV charging at LAX is available in all Central Terminal Area garages and the Economy Garage. Airport Center Parking's LAX shuttle fleet is all-electric, and EV chargers are available for airport parker use at the garage. For travelers departing from LAX, charging while parked is a practical option across multiple facilities.

Additional ChargePoint stations serve the Aviation Boulevard corridor near the airport perimeter, including the Bell South Bay location at 11622 Aviation Boulevard.

Network Coverage Across Inglewood's Neighborhoods

EV charging in Inglewood spans multiple networks, each with different coverage patterns and pricing structures.

Network	Primary Locations	Charging Level	Typical Cost
ChargePoint	Hollywood Park, Aviation Blvd, Imperial Hwy	Level 2 + DCFC	Varies by station owner
EVgo	105 S. La Brea Ave	Level 3 (DC fast charging)	~$0.28-$0.46/kWh
Tesla Supercharger	Multiple nearby locations	Level 3	Tesla pricing

California Drive Clean statistics show that operators charge an average of $0.20-$0.30 per kWh for public Level 2 EV charging stations and $0.40-$0.60 per kWh for DC Fast Charging.

EVgo on S. La Brea Avenue provides Level 3 charging (DC fast charging), which can deliver a significant charge in roughly 30 minutes depending on your vehicle's battery capacity. Level 3 chargers, also known as DC fast chargers, can charge an electric vehicle from 0 to 80 percent in about half an hour, meaning drivers do not have to wait long before getting back on the road.

ChargePoint pricing varies by station owner. Because each station owner sets their own rates, there is no single price for ChargePoint — you must use the app to check the cost before you plug in. Certain ChargePoint stations in the area offer free charging as a customer incentive at retail and commercial locations.

Connector Compatibility for Inglewood Drivers

Understanding connector types helps you find the right station quickly. Public charging in Inglewood supports the major connector standards:

• J1772 (standard North American AC charging connector) — found on all Level 2 stations, compatible with nearly every non-Tesla EV
• CCS (Combined Charging System, standard DC fast-charging connector) — used at EVgo and most DCFC stations for fast charging
• CHAdeMO (Japanese DC fast charging standard) — available at certain EVgo locations for compatible vehicles
• NACS (North American Charging Standard, Tesla connector now industry-wide) — Tesla Superchargers and an expanding number of public stations

Most modern EVs support CCS for DC fast charging. Check your vehicle's manual to confirm which connector your car accepts before planning a fast-charging stop.

SCE Rate Plans and Charging Costs for Inglewood Residents

Inglewood falls within the Southern California Edison (SCE) service territory. SCE offers Time-of-Use (TOU) rate plans designed specifically for EV owners.

SCE offers special time-of-use rates for qualifying EV drivers, allowing them to benefit from lower electricity rates during off-peak hours. If you're on a TOU plan, you can expect to find lower rates in the morning, early afternoon, and overnight. TOU electricity prices vary by time, day of the week, and season — meaning you can charge when rates are lowest for the best deal.

For public charging, kilowatts (kW) of power delivered determine how quickly your vehicle charges. A 7 kW Level 2 station adds roughly 20-25 miles per hour. A 50 kW DCFC (DC Fast Charging) station can add 100+ miles in under 30 minutes, depending on your vehicle.

California and SCE Incentives for Inglewood EV Owners

Inglewood residents have access to a few active incentive programs through SCE and California state programs in 2026.

Southern California Edison Pre-Owned EV Rebate

Southern California Edison offers a Pre-Owned EV Rebate of up to $4,000 for the purchase or lease of an eligible used EV. This is one of the most accessible incentives for Inglewood residents who buy a used electric vehicle.

SCE Charge Ready Home Program

The Southern California Edison Charge Ready Home program provides eligible residents rebates of up to $4,200 to upgrade their home's electrical panel. To be eligible, residents must satisfy one of the following: qualify for the income-qualified rebate that covers 100% of the upgrade costs (up to $4,200) as a resident in a low-income household, or qualify for the geographic-based rebate that covers 50% of the upgrade costs (up to $2,100) as a resident of a qualifying disadvantaged community.

South Coast AQMD Replace Your Ride

Eligible participants of the Replace Your Ride program can obtain up to $12,000 to trade in their old, high-emission vehicles for newer models, with options including upgrading to a hybrid or electric vehicle. This initiative is open to residents within the South Coast AQMD Jurisdiction who meet specific income and vehicle criteria. The maximum amount available is $12,000 plus $2,000 toward a home EV charger or EVgo charging credit.

Federal Charging Equipment Credit

You may qualify for the federal EV charger tax credit (the Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit) for 30% of eligible costs, including installation, up to $1,000 — currently set to expire on June 30, 2026.

Note: The federal EV purchase tax credits for new and used EVs ended for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025. California and utility incentives are now the primary savings opportunities for Inglewood EV buyers.

EV Charging in Inglewood for Apartment and Condo Residents

A large share of Inglewood residents live in multi-unit housing, making public charging access especially important. EV charging in Inglewood's apartment corridors along Imperial Highway and Manchester Boulevard serves this population directly.

California law provides strong protections for renters and condo owners. Codified under California Civil Code Section 4745, the California right-to-charge law ensures that residents of condos, co-ops, and planned communities — whether owners or renters — have the right to install EV charging stations. In California, landlords and HOAs are required to accept any tenant's written request to install charging equipment for their own use.

For residents who cannot install a personal charging station, public charging stations along W. Imperial Highway and near the i-wood Residences at 4821 W. Century Boulevard provide nearby options. The ChargeHub app helps you locate stations within walking distance of your building and check real-time availability before heading out.

The City of Inglewood has established an expedited, streamlined permitting process for electric vehicle charging stations, designed to promote and encourage the use of electric vehicles while protecting public health and safety. This makes it faster and easier for property owners to add charging infrastructure to existing buildings.

Practical Tips for EV Charging in Inglewood

Getting the most from electric vehicle charging Inglewood requires a bit of local knowledge. These tips apply whether you're a resident or a visitor.

• Check availability before you leave. Use the ChargeHub app for iPhone or ChargeHub app for Android to see real-time station status and avoid wait times.
• Charge during off-peak hours. SCE's TOU rate plans offer lower kilowatt-hour (kWh) rates in the morning, early afternoon, and overnight. Charging between 9 PM and 4 PM the following day typically yields the lowest rates.
• Plan around events at SoFi Stadium. Inglewood EV charging stations near Hollywood Park fill quickly on game days. Arrive early or use a station farther from the venue to avoid wait times.
• Use destination charging at malls and shopping centers. Certain ChargePoint stations at retail locations along Manchester Boulevard and near the Forum offer free or low-cost Level 2 charging while you shop.
• Know your connector type. Confirm whether your vehicle uses CCS, CHAdeMO, or NACS before selecting a DC fast charging station. Not all stations support all connector types.
• Stack your incentives. SCE's Pre-Owned EV Rebate can be combined with certain South Coast AQMD programs. Check eligibility for multiple programs before purchasing a vehicle.
• Rideshare drivers: The Terawatt station on W. Century Boulevard near LAX is designed for high-mileage fleet use. Check access requirements before your first visit.
