The drive is 381.9 miles, about 7h 08m. Along it sit 288 DC fast chargers within 5 miles of the route — and 256 of those have somewhere to eat within a 10-minute walk, so the charging stop and the meal are the same stop.
Plan this trip on the map →Split into roughly 3 legs, these are the strongest stops near each break — most power, most stalls, shortest walk to food. Where you actually need to charge depends on your car and how you drive; this is where the good stops are.

Typical power along this route is 200 kW, with 160 stops at 150 kW or more and 81 on the Tesla network. Chargers under 50 kW are left out — on a drive this length they cost more time than they save. There is one at least every 33 miles of the way.
In order along the route — the strongest stop in each stretch of the drive, so the list covers the whole route rather than filling up with the city you left.
