Plan this trip on the map →Split into roughly 4 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 180 kW, with 37 stops at 150 kW or more and 13 on the Tesla network. Chargers under 50 kW are left out — on a drive this length they cost more time than they save. The longest stretch without one is 107 miles, between mile 205 and mile 312.
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.
