How many EV charging stations are there between San Diego and Palm Springs?

Zevvy has 729 charging locations mapped within 9 mi of the 126 mi route. 176 locations have DC fast charging; the rest are AC or not recorded.

Can I drive from San Diego to Palm Springs in an EV?

Yes, on the chargers we have mapped. The longest stretch without a DC fast charger inside the 9 mi corridor is 14 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 San Diego to Palm Springs route?

J1772 (Type 1) at 543 locations, CCS1 at 129 locations, NACS (Tesla) at 120 locations and CHAdeMO at 64 locations. Each location is counted once per connector type it offers.

Where is the longest gap without a fast charger on the San Diego to Palm Springs drive?

It is the 14 mi stretch after EVgo Car Charging Station, before EvGateway Charging Station. Charge to cover at least that distance before entering it.

Which charging networks operate on the San Diego to Palm Springs route?

ChargePoint (33 locations), Blink Charging (7 locations), Tesla (including non-tesla) (7 locations), AmpUp (1 location), Chargelab (1 location) and Circle K (1 location), plus 3 smaller operators. The remaining 676 locations have no operator recorded in our dataset.
