Looking northwest from the entrance on Crest. Note: the charger seen in this photo is a non-functional display. The operational chargers are through the arch under the sign. One is behind the wall you see behind the red EV1; the other is near the service department entrance behind the building. Both are reached by driving through the arch.

Site description: South of Route 78, west of Broadway, north of Crest. Route 78 transitions at this point between a two-lane road to the east and a limited access freeway to the west.
Charger description: Two pedestal chargers. One is in the corner along the south perimeter wall to your left just beyond the service bridge marked "Saturn of Escondido". (This one is easy to miss). The other is behind the service department against the south side of the building.
What to do while waiting: Not much around: other car dealerships, auto repair shops, a skating rink and a janitorial supply company ("open to the public!").
Charger supply voltage: 208
