Typical power along this route is 200 kW, with 116 stops at 150 kW or more and 69 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 7 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 350 kW charger in Abingdon, MD; about 25 min for a Hyundai Ioniq 5 at the 350 kW charger in Abingdon, MD. These are rough figures from each car's battery size and peak charging speed; a cold battery or a busy site takes longer.
