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

Zevvy has 600 charging locations mapped within 9 mi of the 93 mi route. 160 locations have DC fast charging; the rest are AC or not recorded.

Can I drive from Chicago to Milwaukee in an EV?

Yes, on the chargers we have mapped. The longest stretch without a DC fast charger inside the 9 mi corridor is 9 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 charging stops.

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

J1772 (Type 1) at 433 locations, CCS1 at 137 locations, NACS (Tesla) at 75 locations and CHAdeMO at 30 locations. Each location is counted once per connector type it offers.

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

It is the 9 mi stretch after Pilot EV Charging Station, before Tesla Supercharger. Charge to cover at least that distance before entering it.

Which charging networks operate on the Chicago to Milwaukee route?

ChargePoint (18 locations), Noodoe EV (6 locations), AmpUp (4 locations), Blink Charging (2 locations), Electrify America (2 locations) and eVgo Network (2 locations), plus 7 smaller operators. The remaining 556 locations have no operator recorded in our dataset.

How long does the Chicago to Milwaukee drive take?

The routing engine puts the 93 mi drive at 1 hr 45 min of driving time, before any charging. Add the time for the charging stops your car needs from the table above.

How many charging stops you need, Chicago to Milwaukee

Stops are the number of times a car must add range to cover 93 mi, assuming 70% of rated range is usable between stops (the buffer that highway speeds, load and arrival reserve actually take). Formula: stops = ceil(93 / usable range) − 1.

Charging stops by rated range on the Chicago–Milwaukee route
Rated range	Usable between stops	Enough chargers on route
150 mi	105 mi	No stop needed
200 mi	140 mi	No stop needed
250 mi	175 mi	No stop needed
300 mi	210 mi	No stop needed
