Meals fall near their local hour (times are local at each stop), with about 20 minutes for a break and 40 for a meal. It is a driver’s plan, not a charging plan: where you need to charge depends on your car. Open this drive in the app to pick another leaving time.
Typical power along this route is 240 kW, with 98 stops at 150 kW or more and 42 on the Tesla network. Chargers under 50 kW are left out of the list — on a drive this length they cost more time than they save. Counting every DC fast charger, there is one at least every 15 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.

It depends on the car. The app's estimate for a 10–80% charge is about 45 min for a Ford Mustang Mach-E at the 320 kW charger in Kingston, NY; about 25 min for a Hyundai Ioniq 5 at the 320 kW charger in Kingston, NY. These are rough figures from each car's battery size and peak charging speed; a cold battery or a busy site takes longer.
