YES, based on my experience and from others I have read reports from....The DAVIS STREET exit charging station in Vacaville has an OPEN, Public, and FREE L3 charge point.
There is only 1 charge handle available and it is on the west end of the south array of charging connections (they have charge cables for about every variety of EV on the road in the last 15 years it seemed to me). These various charge points are served by a large set of SOLAR PANELS and these provide also a bit of shade and/or rain protection while using the charge stations.
There is also a SONIC DRIVE-IN just 100 feet across the parking lot, so both your passengers and your vehicle can be "recharged."
Vacaville, as I read the recent history, might be the MOST EV FRIENDLY city in the U.S. About 10 years ago, the then city manager committed the city to going as green as possible with the city fleet of service vehicles and they are reported to have over 100 electric powered CITY OWNED vehicles.
I did use that charge station to get from Petaluma to Sacramento without "range anxiety" on getting my new LEAF home from North Bay Nissan.
LEAF VIN #320
Volt VIN # 679
