Driver SPG (an affiliate of C.W. Driver Companies, a leading builder serving California since 1919), has opened the large-scale Rove EV charging station location in Costa Mesa. The project is Driver SPG’s second with Rove, which incorporates a hospitality model to accommodate the charging time for all electric vehicles. Rove’s 55,384 square-foot Costa Mesa location brings much-needed EV infrastructure, a mini Gelson’s market, lounging, and free Wi-Fi that addresses an evolving need for innovative charging stations.
“The demand for more charging stations across Southern California is high,” said Mike Sosa, vice president at Driver SPG. “Rove’s charging stations provide a hospitality experience that keeps drivers safe, satisfied and engaged.”
Rove Costa Mesa blends a variety of construction types. New construction was completed on the charging station through the implementation of 40 DC fast chargers with North American Charging Standard (NACS), Charging Combined System (CCS), and Charge for moving (CHAdeMO) plugs, which serve all types of battery electric vehicles.
Aside from the charging station, Driver SPG retrofitted an existing 5,384-square-foot building into an active retail experience, including a ReCharge by Gelson’s mini market featuring a high-quality grocery selection. The space also includes a comfortable lounge, clean restrooms, and free Wi-Fi, to create a great experience for all visitors.

“At Rove, we are on a mission to offer the best charging experience in one of the most discerning regions in the country – Southern California,” said Bill Reid, CEO of Rove. “Developing public fast charging centers of this immense scale is no easy feat, and we required the help of expert builders to execute our vision. We are proud to have worked with Driver SPG for a second time to ensure our Costa Mesa center is one of the most reliable and accessible charging stations in the community.”
Rove Costa Mesa is located at 2666 Harbor Blvd, Suite 115, Costa Mesa, CA 92626
