Costa Mesa is under construction. I did not get any photos, but you can see the construction from the freeway. I also saw that the charging equipment had been delivered!Tesla is believed to be looking to install a supercharger at the SoCo Furniture Mall at 3303 Hyland Ave, Costa Mesa, CA 92626.
Tesla Superchargers charge too quick. The mall needs shoppers to spend more time, not less time in the mall. What the SCP mall should do is increase the number of the existing free level 2 chargers.too bad they don't build one in the south coast mall
That would be a nightmare unless you go there to charge during off-peak business hours or during slow shopping times throughout the year.too bad they don't build one in the south coast mall
It'll be good for the business at SoCo Mix as well. That center doesn't get enough foot traffic IMO.Great location, right off the 405. Northbound entrance to get back on is just feet away. The only real problem with this site is that there are too few stalls. 24 would have been ideal. FV is often too congested as is. Well, 12 is better than none!
I agree. Even the "Urban" Superchargers are too fast. More destination/L2 chargers are needed at malls.Tesla Superchargers charge too quick.

The SoCo mix has food places and cafes so I think it will still work out well there.Superchargers at the mall aren’t a new concept, Tesla should also be considering that some people consider the surrounding amenities while charging. That’s why you see spots in shopping centers, restaurants, etc. I don’t see how putting it in a furniture store plaza is that great either, cause if you’re shopping for furniture you aren’t making up your mind in 30 minutes or less. If they added one in the mall, people would just have to deal with going back out and moving the car before proceeding with shopping. That’s what I do all the time at the Americana and Los Cerritos. Plus there’s already a supercharger on Newhope.
I drove by a couple weeks ago and didn't really see much going on...the stalls were sitting there covered (not yet in the ground), but I didn't see any real progress.I wonder how the construction process is going. Anybody live nearby who can check it out?
I received the following response from South Coast Plaza management:What the SCP mall should do is increase the number of the existing free level 2 chargers.
That is great to hear! I would rather have them charge like $0,10 per kwh and have 50 chargers available than free charging with only 20 chargers available.I received the following response from South Coast Plaza management:
"Thank you for reaching out. We are actively looking at additional locations and units for the site. I would say likely spring next year once we get all permits and equipment."
I refuse to park in that garage on that side of SCP -- door dings are inevitable with how comically tight those parking spaces are.That is great to hear! I would rather have them charge like $0,10 per kwh and have 50 chargers available than free charging with only 20 chargers available.
Also, the parking space size in Nordstrom side is just criminal. If you are an adult that weights more than 120 lbs, you can't get out of the car.
