1972 - Upper (main) Castaic Lake opens for swimming and boating; afterbay opened in May [story]
Castaic Lake


With California working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the popularity of alternative fuel vehicles is on the rise. Just like conventional gas-powered cars, these vehicles need to be refueled and recharged.  Santa Clarita has several alternative fueling stations available and continually adding more. There is currently a compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling station at the Transit Maintenance Facility and several options for electric vehicle charging around the valley.

The newest electric vehicle charging station at Canyon Country Plaza is now up and running. It is located at 19186 Soledad Canyon Road.

The charging station has three ports: EV Plug (J1772), CHAdeMO DCFC, and SAE Combo DCFC.

It is open 24/7 and has NRG EVgo membership pricing.

For locations of the CNG station or other electric vehicle charging stations in the Santa Clarita Valley check out our page on GreenSantaClarita.com.

  3. Liz Nemeth says:

  4. Nena Guzmán says:

    Orale! Que padre!!! No lo sabía!!!

  5. Really need a cng station on east side of Sclarita.

  6. I power up at Sams club.?

  7. How does it work.? Do you pay for it.?

  8. How much does it cost?

  9. Mike Morgan says:

    Is this faster than filling up the tank with gas?

  10. Chris Taylor says:

    Are there any e85 stations in scv?

  11. Robyn Flath says:

    They have been up there for a month or two

  12. So who is paying for the electricity these people are using to refuel their vehicles? If it is ‘free’ do those of us who cant afford electric cars get free gas from the city…aka Santa Ckarita taxoayers? Electricity is expensive and getting more so…I hope there is a meter on those and the cat owners are paying for it…

    • Ben Berman says:

      Most electric refueling stations are self sustaining and powered by nearby solar panels. No emissions, no constant cost from the supplier, no cost to the user. Isn’t renewable energy beautiful?

    • It’s open 24/7…no solar at night…and I am sure there are no batteries big enough to sustain the charge to charge cars at night…and I didn’t see solar panels in the pic

    • From the article…It is open 24/7 and has NRG EVgo membership pricing.
      People are paying, quit with the whining.

    • It’s not whining…just tired of paying for everyone else’s bills..hope it is metered and they do pay to plug in…other plug in stations in CA there have been no cost to the car owner so was just wondering about these…nothing against electric cars..however not convinced they are totally environmentally friendly now as advertised with those batteries at their end of life and how that electricity is generated that is charging them but that should get better. But thanks for claifying about the paying…

  13. Brian Wood says:

    I don’t agree with providing free fuel (electricity or otherwise) to alternative fuel vehicles. Our taxes paid for this with no direct benefit to the general population.

    That said, while we’re at it, let’s get a hydrogen fueling station in SCV asap. Closest one is Burbank — not very encouraging to those who wish to use true alternative fuels…
