Charge stops

About 1

At roughly 200 real highway miles per charge, plan about 1 fast-charging stop on I-90 (Indiana and Ohio Turnpikes). Cold weather, speed and climbs cut range, so keep a buffer of 20 percent.

Charge overnight in South Bend

Sleeping at a hotel with a charger means leaving full in the morning. Filter for EV charging on the booking page.
