Typical power along this route is 200 kW, with 220 stops at 150 kW or more and 110 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 13 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 23 min for a Tesla Model Y at the 250 kW charger in New York, NY; about 45 min for a Ford Mustang Mach-E at the 500 kW charger in New York, NY; about 25 min for a Hyundai Ioniq 5 at the 500 kW charger in New York, NY. These are rough figures from each car's battery size and peak charging speed; a cold battery or a busy site takes longer.
About 6h 28m of driving for 305 miles. Leaving at 8:00 am with the plan's 1 break of about 20 minutes and 1 meal of about 40, you arrive around 3:30 pm.
