Anaheim, California EV Charging Stations Info


General EV Charging Information

Anaheim's identity as a destination city shapes everything about EV charging in Anaheim. The Resort District near Disneyland, the Platinum Triangle around Angel Stadium and Honda Center, and the dense commercial corridors along Katella Ave and Harbor Blvd create a charging landscape unlike most Southern California cities. Visitors arrive from across the region, residents navigate a mix of apartments and single-family neighborhoods, and commuters pass through on the I-5 and SR-57 daily. Understanding how EV charging in Anaheim works across these different zones is the key to charging confidently, whether you're spending a week at a resort hotel or living in a condo off Euclid Street.

Anaheim's Charging Network: Resort District to Platinum Triangle

Anaheim's public charging infrastructure concentrates in two distinct zones. The Resort District, anchored by Disneyland Drive and Harbor Blvd, hosts a high density of EV charging stations in Anaheim. The Platinum Triangle, centered on Katella Ave near Angel Stadium, forms the second major hub.

Resort District Coverage

The Resort District benefits from high hotel turnover and long visitor dwell times. Level 2 charging (240V, adds 11-54 miles/hour) is the dominant type here, installed across hotel parking structures, the Anaheim Convention Center, and retail lots along Harbor Blvd. The Mickey & Friends Parking Structure at Disneyland Resort is one of the city's most-visited charging locations. Visitors who park for a full day at the parks can return to a significantly topped-up battery.

Platinum Triangle and Katella Corridor

The Katella Ave corridor is Anaheim's fast-charging spine. Tesla Supercharger locations at 2404 E Katella Ave and near W Lincoln Ave serve non-Tesla drivers through NACS (North American Charging Standard, Tesla connector now industry-wide) adapters. Electrify America operates a station at 1685 E Katella Ave, and EVgo serves drivers at Anaheim Plaza on Euclid St. ChargePoint and Blink maintain a broad presence across shopping centers, parking garages, and community facilities throughout the city.

The ARTIC transit center at 2626 E Katella Ave is one of the highest-traffic charging locations in the city, with over 600 logged check-ins, making it a reliable stop for commuters and visitors alike.

Use the ChargeHub map to check real-time availability across all networks before you drive.

Charging by Neighborhood: Euclid, Brookhurst, and Beyond

EV charging in Anaheim extends well beyond the resort zone. The Euclid Street corridor in West Anaheim hosts a Walmart Supercenter with public charging and an EVgo station at Anaheim Plaza. The Brookhurst Community Center at 2271 Crescent Ave offers publicly accessible charging with over 290 logged check-ins, serving the Little Arabia neighborhood and surrounding West Anaheim residential areas.

Anaheim City Hall Garage at 225 S. Philadelphia St provides charging in the downtown core, making it a practical stop for residents running errands or attending city business. North Anaheim, near the 91 freeway, has a growing cluster of ChargePoint stations at shopping centers and mixed-use developments.

Key neighborhood charging locations include:

  • West Anaheim (Euclid/Brookhurst): Anaheim Plaza, Walmart Supercenter, Brookhurst Community Center
  • Downtown Anaheim: City Hall Garage, Anaheim West Tower area
  • North Anaheim: Shopping center ChargePoint stations near the 91 freeway
  • Platinum Triangle: Katella Ave corridor, ARTIC transit hub, Stadium Lofts
  • Resort District: Mickey & Friends Parking Structure, Harbor Blvd hotel lots

Charging at Disneyland, the Convention Center, and Anaheim Hotels

Destination charging is a defining feature of electric vehicle charging Anaheim visitors rely on. The city's resort economy means a large share of public charging is built around long dwell times at hotels, theme parks, and convention venues.

Disneyland Resort and Convention Center

The Disneyland Resort's Mickey & Friends Parking Structure offers Level 2 charging for day visitors. The Anaheim Convention Center, at 800 W Katella Ave, draws large events year-round, and charging access near the venue is well-supported by the Katella corridor network.

Hotels with On-Site EV Charging in Anaheim

A wide range of Anaheim hotels offer on-site EV charging stations, making them a practical choice for EV road trippers:

  • Sonesta Anaheim Resort Area (less than 2 miles from Disneyland): On-site EV charging stations in the parking area
  • Westin Anaheim Resort (adjacent to Convention Center): EV charging available on property
  • JW Marriott Anaheim Resort (near Disney California Adventure): On-site charging for guests
  • Hyatt House Anaheim Resort/Convention Center: EV charging with pool and family amenities
  • Multiple Hilton and Marriott properties along Harbor Blvd and Katella Ave

Trip planners should confirm charging availability and any associated parking fees directly with the hotel. For visitors who prefer public fast charging, Tesla Superchargers on Katella Ave and Lincoln Ave are accessible through the ChargeHub app, which consolidates all networks in one place.

Download the ChargeHub iPhone app or ChargeHub Android app to locate, filter, and pay at stations across every major network without juggling separate accounts.

Multi-Unit Housing and EV Charging Access in Anaheim

Apartment and condo residents represent one of the more complex charging scenarios for EV charging in Anaheim. The city has a large renter population, and not all multi-unit buildings have installed charging equipment.

The good news: Anaheim Public Utilities actively incentivizes property owners to add charging. The Anaheim Public Utilities Public Access EV Charger Rebate program reimburses commercial, industrial, and municipal customers up to $5,000 per charging station for public access locations. For schools, affordable housing, and publicly accessible Level 3 charging (DC fast charging) locations, the rebate reaches up to $10,000 per station (maximum of 4 stations). Eligible expenses include both the charger purchase price and installation costs.

Residents in buildings without charging have two practical options:

  • Ask your property manager about the APU rebate program. The rebate covers up to $5,000 per station, making the business case for installation much easier. Property managers can contact Anaheim Public Utilities at 714-765-4250.
  • Use nearby public charging. Anaheim's dense public network means most residential neighborhoods are within a short drive of a Level 2 or Level 3 charging (DC fast charging) station. The ChargeHub map filters by connector type and charging speed to find the nearest available option.

California law (Civil Code Section 1947.6) also gives tenants the right to request EV charging installation in certain circumstances, subject to conditions. Renters can reference this when approaching landlords.

Anaheim Public Utilities and California EV Incentives

Anaheim is served by Anaheim Public Utilities (APU), a municipal utility that operates independently from Southern California Edison. This distinction matters for EV drivers because APU runs its own rebate programs separate from SCE.

Anaheim Public Utilities Rebate Programs

APU offers a suite of active rebate programs for EV charging infrastructure (subject to fund availability):

  • Public Access EV Charger Rebate: Up to $5,000 per station for public access locations; up to $10,000 for schools, affordable housing, or publicly accessible DC fast charging locations (max 4 stations)
  • Sub-meter installation rebate: Up to $3,500 for participants who install an associated sub-meter
  • City plan check fee reimbursement: Up to $1,500 for eligible participants
  • EV Fleet Charger & Infrastructure Rebate: Business fleet customers receive up to $5,000 per charging station; schools receive up to $10,000 per charger; electric service connection fees reimbursed up to $2,000

All rebates are subject to fund availability. Apply by contacting APU at [email protected] or calling 714-765-4250.

California State Incentives in 2026

The statewide Clean Vehicle Rebate Project (CVRP) closed in November 2023 and is not accepting new applications in 2026. However, income-qualified California drivers can access significant support through two active programs:

  • Clean Cars 4 All (CC4A): Available in the South Coast region (which covers Orange County), this program helps income-eligible residents replace older, high-pollution vehicles. Incentives can reach up to $12,000 toward a new or used EV or plug-in hybrid, depending on income and whether an older vehicle is scrapped.
  • Driving Clean Assistance Program (DCAP): Expands CC4A-style support statewide, with a focus on first-time and low-income EV buyers, including used vehicle purchases.

Federal EV purchase tax credits ended for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025, per the California New Car Dealers Association. California and local utility incentives are now the primary savings opportunities for 2026 EV buyers.

Charging Costs and Network Pricing in Anaheim

EV charging in Anaheim spans a wide cost range depending on the network, charging level, and time of day. Rates are approximate and subject to change.

Network Charging Level Connector Types Typical Cost (Approximate)
Tesla Supercharger Level 3 / DC Fast NACS Generally ranges from $0.25--$0.50/kWh
Electrify America Level 3 / DC Fast CCS (Combined Charging System, standard DC fast-charging connector), CHAdeMO (Japanese DC fast charging standard) Typically around $0.28--$0.48/kWh
EVgo Level 3 / DC Fast CCS, CHAdeMO, NACS Generally ranges from $0.30--$0.50/kWh
ChargePoint Level 2 J1772 (standard North American AC charging connector), CCS Typically around $1--$3/hour or per-kWh
Blink Level 2 / Level 3 J1772, CCS Generally ranges from $0.04--$0.08/min (L2)
Electrify America Level 2 J1772 Typically around $1--$2/hour

All rates are approximate as of May 2026 and vary by location, membership status, and time of use. DCFC (DC Fast Charging) stations typically charge per kilowatt-hour (kWh) in California, while certain Level 2 networks bill per minute.

Anaheim residents served by Anaheim Public Utilities can check APU's Time-of-Use (TOU) rate schedules directly, as APU rates differ from SCE. Residents in SCE territory (certain parts of Anaheim) should note that SCE's TOU-D-PRIME plan, reserved for customers with EVs and other electrification upgrades, offers lower per-kWh rates in exchange for a fixed daily charge of approximately $0.79/day, according to SCE's published rate schedule.

Practical Tips for EV Charging in Anaheim

  • Plan your Resort District charging before peak hours: The Disneyland area draws high EV traffic on weekends and holidays. Use the ChargeHub app to check real-time availability before driving to a specific station.
  • Use ARTIC for a reliable fast-charging stop: The ARTIC transit hub at 2626 E Katella Ave is one of the city's busiest and most consistently available charging locations, with good amenities nearby.
  • Avoid peak pricing windows: At SCE-territory stations and certain network locations, rates are highest between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m. Charging before 4 p.m. or after 9 p.m. typically reduces cost.
  • Carry a CCS adapter if you drive a NACS vehicle: Certain Anaheim stations, particularly older Blink and ChargePoint units, use J1772 or CCS connectors. A CCS adapter ensures access to the full network.
  • Check hotel charging before booking: Anaheim hotels vary widely in EV amenity quality. Certain properties offer free Level 2 charging as an included amenity; others charge a nightly fee. Confirm before arrival.
  • Use ChargeHub for unified payment: ChargeHub provides access to ChargePoint, EVgo, Electrify America, Blink, and other networks through a single account, eliminating the need for multiple network memberships when charging across Anaheim's different zones.
  • Apartment residents: reference the APU rebate: If your building lacks charging, the Anaheim Public Utilities Public Access EV Charger Rebate covers up to $5,000 per station. Share this with your property manager to start the conversation.
