Electrify America Charging Station

Hours: Electrify America Charging Station is a convenient location within the Lucky parking lot, across from Refugio Park. It features four charging stations, but often only two or three are operational, and charging rates sometimes do not reach the rated 150 kW. The area is well-lit and easily accessible from the Hercules exit, making it a popular spot for EV owners to charge and then walk to nearby eateries or the park. Member pricing is available for a $5 monthly fee, offering cheaper rates per charge than occasional use, and rates are consistent regardless of the time of day. The chargers fill up quickly, and using the Electrify app helps users find available stations or see if a charger is being serviced. However, the stations have not been serviced regularly lately, with some chargers being out of order. It is common to see cars line up and wait their turn, and good EV etiquette is encouraged—charging for only the necessary time and being courteous to others. Overall, users find the station satisfactory and appreciate the convenience, despite occasional issues with station functionality.
