Public Charging Stations

PlugShare is a map that features all operational charging stations in Humboldt County, California, the nation, and across the world. Explore using the interactive map below and/or download the PlugShare app.

Charging Levels

• Charging levels refer to the amount of electricity a charging station provides.
• Currently, RCEA manages Level 2 public charging stations.
• Level 3 or DC Fast Chargers are currently available in Arcata, Eureka, Loleta, Willow Creek, and Klamath.

RCEA’s Charging Stations

The Redwood Coast Energy Authority is proud to operate many of the charging stations in Humboldt County, which are included in the PlugShare map:

• 56 ports
• 29 stations
• 16 locations

All RCEA stations are on the ChargePoint network. To charge, download the ChargePoint app or contact ChargePoint for an RFID card.

Fast Charging Stations

More fast-charging stations are on the way! The State of California is investing heavily in the expansion of fast-charge infrastructure for electric vehicles. If you own an EV with a range of 150 miles or more, you can now complete a trip from Humboldt County to Sacramento, the Bay Area, and beyond.

Please note that RCEA is not responsible for the installation of these charging stations, but serves as a liaison between developers and the general public. Visit PlugShare to find out which stations are fully operational.

Mobile Apps

Mobile apps can be downloaded to your smartphone and are often the easiest way to pay for charging sessions.
