    I thought I'd start a list here so that people don't have to fumble through a map and click on all the different plots to find this info. Let's try to be as specific as possible too so that it's easier to identify the exact spot.

    So the criteria is if you don't have to pay for parking at all, and the charging station is totally free...

    • Santa Monica Place (Parking lot on Colorado and 4th): 2 hours free parking, free charging station
    • Hermosa Beach (Pier Ave in front of the Becker surf store): 2 hours free parking, free charging station
    Where else?

    On plugshare, you can set a filter so that it shows free stations only. On iOS, you can even set this as the default.
    Oh I see what you mean.
    Okay, well, Torrance city hall is free forever while charging.

    I would strongly recommend using the apps or dynamic web sites for this rather than a static list. These can change at a moments notice.
