Today, Oct 3, I confirmed a report that Kohls in Ontario has a functioning Chargepoint station, although it does not yet show up on the Chargepoint map. The Kohls is located on the SW corner of 4th & Milliken Ave in Ontario, CA, about .5 miles N of I-10 using the Milliken exit.
The Chargepoint station is at the NE corner of the Kohls building. It is easy to overlook. There is no signage. Its location actually matches the advice I have seen on this forum, not a prominent location to discourage ICE interlopers.
It is currently free, but until it shows up on the map as a free station, I would not count on that. Twice before I have charged at new Chargepoint stations not yet on the map, and fees were imposed shortly thereafter.
In addition to Kohls, this location has the following eating options within 150 yards:
El Pollo Loco
Starbucks
Applebees
Oporto (chicken burgers)
Boston Pizza
Fatburger
Just across Milikan Ave. to the East is Ontario Mills, a very large mall, so there is lots of shopping, eating, etc in walking distance. Not nearly as classy as Victoria Gargdens, however.
I would think this location would be quite useful for people driving along I-10 who are getting tired of charging at Nissan dealerships.
Kohls seems to be making a real effort to go Green. To date 112 of their stores have large solar arrays on their roofs. I could not find any confirmation that installing EV charging stations is corporate policy, but other Kohls stores do have EV.
