How far apart are EV charging stations on highways?

On major US highways, DC fast charging stations are typically 25-75 miles apart. The federal NEVI program is funding new stations every 50 miles along designated Alternative Fuel Corridors.

How long does it take to charge on a road trip?

A typical DC fast charging stop takes 20-40 minutes to go from 10% to 80%. Plan for 2-3 charging stops on a 300-500 mile trip. Many stations are located near restaurants and amenities.

What happens if I run out of charge on the road?

Modern EVs have accurate range estimates and warn you well in advance. Plan stops at 20%+ battery. If needed, Level 2 chargers at hotels and shopping centers can serve as backup, though they charge more slowly.
