Here is list of existing public charging stations in Orange County, California (last updated 4/23/13).
This list is grouped by city, and includes J1772 only. I will maintain the list by updating this OP.
Please let me know of any stations that are not on this list, and new stations as they come online.
Feel free to post photos as well.

I hope you find this list useful, and that those cities with "none"
beside their names will soon be replaced by EVSE details.

This "Park Tower" listing should actually be "Plaza Tower". This is the parking structure between Westin Hotel and the stainless steel (silver) office building.

Thanks for a great list :D

Gotcha. Thanks for that. Done.
 
Note that the ones at City Hall in Orange are still broken as of last week. I've been trying to get an ETA from the City but no one seems to know.

Such a shame.

Thanks so much for putting this list together JPV.

Both Chargepoints in Seal Beach are fee-based, but I'm not exactly sure how much ($2-3/hr)?
 
There are two (or three?) ClipperCreeks at the Outlets in Orange. Next to Dave and Busters. These replaced the old Avcon and TAL stations that were there previously.
 
Thanks for the list - this is great. Tustin Toyota has an L2 Aerovironment EVSE in the parking lot. You should have seen the funny looks the Toyota sales guys gave me when I plugged in my leaf while waiting for my wife's Highlander Hybrid to be serviced.

Thanks, xtreme. Any change to them since I posted photos at:
http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?p=202515#p202515.
Did they remove the damaged nozzles or other parts? Any sign of changes there?
It's been at least a month and a half. :|

Thanks, z0ner. I think the pier units are (an odd) $3.37/hr + parking fee?
Last time we were there, they hadn't yet started the charging fee (only parking fee).

Yay. Thanks for the tip, richard. I was wondering if/when those were going to get upgraded.
Swung by this afternoon to confirm there are (2) Clipper Creek J1772s next to Dave and Buster's.
Charged successfully. One Magne Charge SPI still there.

No problem.

I just got word from a local installer that there are two new ChargePoint stations installed at Anaheim Convention Center at "Carport #1". Access is limited to when there's an event going on. Lot entrance costs $, but once in, charging is free. These stations don't appear yet in the ChargePoint map.

Also, additional stations have been added recently at Canyon Metrolink (3 total now), City Hall (2 total), and West Tower (2 total).
 
A couple of 'coming soon' Chargepoint charging stations at the Honda Center, 2695 E Katella Ave, Anaheim, CA 92806.

While installed, these are not currently available since they are behind a fenced area undergoing construction for the Grand Terrace Project, not to be completed until early 2013. You can actually see the Chargepoints in a few frames of this video. Stations in the front lot facing Katella, under the Honda Center sign. So close, yet so far ....

(These replace the previous Avcon and LPI units.)
 
I checked your extensive list against the 350Green/Walgreens sites I listed on the SoCal Branch Leaf thread, and I believe I see one that is not yet on your list:

3446 W. Ball Rd., Anaheim.

This is not the same location as 2560 W. Ball Rd., which is on your list.
On Saturday I verified that the station at

11900 Beach blvd, Stanton,

which is on your list, is operational. Some stations on the 350Green map that I recently checked (not in this area), were not operational. If they appear on the Chargepoint map as well, most likely they are operational.

Please note that all these 350Green/Walgreens sites charge $2 per session. I believe a session may be limited to one hour.

Despite all these locations, how many are actually within a short walk of a decent restaurant or other venue where you could profitably spend an hour or more ? I am not likely to spend that much time in a Walgreens.

All 350Green owned ChargePoint sites are $2/hr, $2 minimum currently... though it might change when CarCharging Inc finishes buying their remains. The parking limit depends on the site.

That is correct. Good eye. I do remember that station. After a while, many of those Walgreens stations started looking the same. When I visited these (5/12), they hadn't yet started charging. I'll have to confirm the pricing, unless someone can tell me for sure ($2/session regardless of length, $2/hr, max 1 hr/session?).

Good enough if you're certain this applies to SoCal stations as wells as those in Bay Area.

[Edit: Confirmed pricing at Walgreens/350Green Chargepoint units on the OP list: $2/hr, $2 min. (no max.)

Also, discussion with one Walgreens store manager amounted to him shrugging his shoulders
when I mentioned that all adjacent spaces to charging station were ICE'd. Walgreens just
provides the spaces. ICEing will be more prevalent at certain stores than others. YMMV]
