How many EV charging stations are there between Chicago and Indianapolis?

Zevvy has 436 charging locations mapped within 9 mi of the 183 mi route. 117 locations have DC fast charging; the rest are AC or not recorded.

Can I drive from Chicago to Indianapolis in an EV?

Yes, on the chargers we have mapped. The longest stretch without a DC fast charger inside the 9 mi corridor is 33 mi, so a car that can cover that between stops can make the trip. Across the 150-300 mi range bands below, that works out at 0 to 1 charging stops.

What charging connectors are available on the Chicago to Indianapolis route?

J1772 (Type 1) at 311 locations, CCS1 at 93 locations, NACS (Tesla) at 56 locations and CHAdeMO at 23 locations. Each location is counted once per connector type it offers.

Where is the longest gap without a fast charger on the Chicago to Indianapolis drive?

It is the 33 mi stretch after Tesla Supercharger, before Flying J EV Charging Station. Charge to cover at least that distance before entering it.

Which charging networks operate on the Chicago to Indianapolis route?

ChargePoint (12 locations), AmpUp (5 locations), Noodoe EV (4 locations), Tesla (including non-tesla) (3 locations), eVgo Network (2 locations) and Blink Charging (1 location), plus 5 smaller operators. The remaining 404 locations have no operator recorded in our dataset.
