Charging around Ranchita
Ranchita is a tiny high-desert community, and resident EVs are scarce. The drivers who call us are coming up Montezuma Valley Road out of Borrego Springs, often shocked at how much battery the grade took, plus vacation rental guests and stargazers passing through the Montezuma Valley area. It's a long way to any charger in every direction, so a low battery up here isn't something to push through.
We roll to every corner of Ranchita, including Ranchita proper, SR-S2 corridor near Borrego Springs, Montezuma Valley area. Out here the nearest fast charger can sit a drive off, so an extra charge block is common.
