Road-trip FAQ
For most modern EVs (60kWh+, 450km+ WLTP), plan one 20–30 minute stop per 400–500km of highway driving at 110km/h. Smaller-battery cars should plan on one stop per 250–300km. Arriving with 15–20% is comfortable; below 10% is gambling with headwinds.
Every route page lists a backup within 60–100km of each primary stop, and we verify both against check-in data at the "last verified" date. The habit that saves road trips: check PlugShare for the next stop before you unplug from the current one.
On a 350kW site with a modern EV, roughly 20–30 minutes per 400km — barely longer than a fuel-and-coffee stop. On 50kW legacy sites, budget 45–60 minutes. The route tables below show the speed at each stop so you can plan meals around the slow ones.
Yes — sustained 35°C+ with air-conditioning at highway speeds trims real range 10–15%. The fix is planning: charge to 90% before the hot leg, and don't skip a stop because the estimate says you'll arrive with 8%.
