The drive is 381.9 miles, about 7h 08m. Along it sit 282 DC fast chargers within 5 miles of the route — and 251 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.

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.
