Charging Network Trip Planner

How It Works

Long-distance EV road trips require planning around charging infrastructure, but the network is expanding rapidly. Tesla Superchargers, Electrify America, and ChargePoint together cover most US highway corridors. A typical charging stop adds 20-35 minutes to your trip — most drivers use this time for restroom breaks, meals, or stretching. The key is to charge from 10-80% at each stop, as charging slows dramatically above 80%. With a 300-mile range EV and 20% buffer, you will need a stop roughly every 240 miles. DC fast charging costs about $0.30-0.45/kWh — more expensive than home charging but still cheaper per mile than gasoline. Many EV owners plan stops using apps like A Better Route Planner (ABRP) or PlugShare.
