Reflecting on Coachella’s camping charge points from around 2010, a Reddit post captured a nostalgic scene: a green multi-shelf charging hub crowded with old-school devices like flip phones, Razrs, Blackberries, and Sidekicks tangled in cables, surrounded by eager festival-goers. The communal vibe and quirky mishaps—like someone plugging in a hair dryer and blowing the circuit—highlight how festival tech culture once fostered togetherness.
Fast forward to 2025, Coachella still offers charging stations throughout the grounds, including camping areas. These provide USB and AC outlets but strictly for mobile phones—no hair dryers or bulky electronics allowed. Attendees are advised to bring their own charging cables.
In the sustainability spirit, Coachella features the Energy Playground with solar-powered charging options like Energy Seesaws, blending tech with eco-awareness.
For personalized and secure options, companies like Anker have set up fast-charging hubs with lockers and power bank services on-site, moving away from tangled communal stations toward individual convenience.
While the charging setup design hasn’t radically changed over the years, Coachella continues to enhance attendee experience with reliable and innovative power solutions that respect both community and evolving tech needs.
