How many EV charging stations are there between Los Angeles and San Diego?

Zevvy has 2355 charging locations mapped within 9 mi of the 120 mi route. 488 locations have DC fast charging; the rest are AC or not recorded.

Can I drive from Los Angeles to San Diego in an EV?

Yes, on the chargers we have mapped. The longest stretch without a DC fast charger inside the 9 mi corridor is 18 mi, so a car that can cover that between stops can make the trip. Across the 150-300 mi range bands below, that works out at 0 to 1 charging stops.

What charging connectors are available on the Los Angeles to San Diego route?

J1772 (Type 1) at 1904 locations, CCS1 at 361 locations, NACS (Tesla) at 249 locations, CHAdeMO at 218 locations and Type 2 AC at 1 location. Each location is counted once per connector type it offers.

Where is the longest gap without a fast charger on the Los Angeles to San Diego drive?

It is the 18 mi stretch after EvGateway Charging Station, before EVCS Charging Station. Charge to cover at least that distance before entering it.

Which charging networks operate on the Los Angeles to San Diego route?

ChargePoint (88 locations), AmpUp (49 locations), Tesla (including non-tesla) (16 locations), Blink Charging (7 locations), SWTCH - Charge Everywhere (5 locations) and EV Connect (4 locations), plus 12 smaller operators. The remaining 2167 locations have no operator recorded in our dataset.

How many charging stops you need, Los Angeles to San Diego

Stops are the number of times a car must add range to cover 120 mi, assuming 70% of rated range is usable between stops (the buffer that highway speeds, load and arrival reserve actually take). Formula: stops = ceil(120 / usable range) − 1.
