From Highway 101, take the Rowland Blvd. exit and head east on Rowland Blvd. Proceed straight throught the Rowland Way and Vintage Way intersections and drive approximately half a mile until Rowland Blvd. ends. Turn right onto the other end of Vintage Way, then right again into the Costco lot by the tire center.

The charging station is next to the front door of the tire center, at the southwest corner of the building. It consists of one Gen 2 MagneCharger and one conductive charger, positioned at the left corners of a pair of lined and signed parking spaces. The cable for the MagneCharger is too short to reach the right- hand lined space, though it will reach the unlined space to its left in addition to its own space.

This is a fairly large shopping center, with a number shopping and dining options. There are some decent restaurants here, including a good Chinese place (Jennie Low's), a Chevy's, an IHOP, a Fresh Choice, and a Red Lobster. There's also a Double Rainbow ice cream/coffee shop. Most of these are back at the north end of the shopping center. If you're willing to hike the half-mile back to Rowland Way, you'll find a brew pub and a movie theater there as well.
