Festival season is in full swing, but for thousands of Coachella attendees and nearby residents, the excitement has turned into frustration. The annual music event has once again brought massive crowds to the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, resulting in crippling traffic congestion that's leaving drivers stuck in their cars for hours. Electric vehicle (EV) owners are particularly feeling the pinch, as the lack of charging infrastructure in the area is exacerbating wait times and leaving them stranded. As the festival continues to draw in record-breaking crowds, officials are scrambling to find solutions to alleviate the traffic nightmare and ensure a smoother experience for all.
