Charging around San Ysidro
San Ysidro has the busiest land border crossing in the western hemisphere, and that shapes every EV problem here. Cars sit in the northbound queue for 40 minutes or longer, AC running, creeping forward a car length at a time. Drivers who crossed with 15 percent come out the other side with single digits and a freeway decision to make. Add shoppers circling Las Americas Premium Outlets, trolley commuters whose cars sit all day near the terminus, and the steady traffic on San Ysidro Boulevard, and you get a community where range emergencies are routine and local charging options are thin.
