Charging around Valley Center
Valley Center EV owners live the rural version of electric driving: solar on the roof, charging at home, and long distances to everything. The wrinkle is the traffic the area pulls in. Harrah's Rincon draws drivers from all over the county, many of whom budget range for the trip out but not the climb and the AC load on the way home. Add hikers heading to Hellhole Canyon and pass-through traffic on Valley Center Road, and you get a steady trickle of stranded batteries a long way from any plug.
