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

Zevvy has 1068 charging locations mapped within 9 mi of the 409 mi route. 275 locations have DC fast charging; the rest are AC or not recorded.

Can I drive from Chicago to Minneapolis in an EV?

Yes, on the chargers we have mapped. The longest stretch without a DC fast charger inside the 9 mi corridor is 40 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 1 to 3 charging stops.

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

J1772 (Type 1) at 760 locations, CCS1 at 227 locations, NACS (Tesla) at 160 locations and CHAdeMO at 63 locations. Each location is counted once per connector type it offers.

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

It is the 40 mi stretch after InCharge Energy Charging Station, before ChargePoint Charging Station. Charge to cover at least that distance before entering it.

Which charging networks operate on the Chicago to Minneapolis route?

ChargePoint (44 locations), AmpUp (7 locations), Noodoe EV (7 locations), Blink Charging (4 locations), eVgo Network (4 locations) and Red E Charge (3 locations), plus 11 smaller operators. The remaining 983 locations have no operator recorded in our dataset.

How long does the Chicago to Minneapolis drive take?

The routing engine puts the 409 mi drive at 6 hr 35 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 Minneapolis

Stops are the number of times a car must add range to cover 409 mi, assuming 70% of rated range is usable between stops (the buffer that highway speeds, load and arrival reserve actually take). Formula: stops = ceil(409 / usable range) − 1.

Charging stops by rated range on the Chicago–Minneapolis route
Rated range	Usable between stops	Stops needed	Enough chargers on route
150 mi	105 mi	3	Yes — 275 DC locations mapped
200 mi	140 mi	2	Yes — 275 DC locations mapped
250 mi	175 mi	2	Yes — 275 DC locations mapped
300 mi	210 mi	1	Yes — 275 DC locations mapped
