How many EV charging stations are there between Chicago and St. Louis?

Zevvy has 678 charging locations mapped within 9 mi of the 297 mi route. 231 locations have DC fast charging; the rest are AC or not recorded.

Can I drive from Chicago to St. Louis in an EV?

Yes, on the chargers we have mapped. The longest stretch without a DC fast charger inside the 9 mi corridor is 32 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 2 charging stops.

What charging connectors are available on the Chicago to St. Louis route?

J1772 (Type 1) at 449 locations, CCS1 at 196 locations, NACS (Tesla) at 81 locations, CHAdeMO at 43 locations and Type 2 AC at 1 location. Each location is counted once per connector type it offers.

Where is the longest gap without a fast charger on the Chicago to St. Louis drive?

It is the 32 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 St. Louis route?

ChargePoint (18 locations), Noodoe EV (9 locations), AmpUp (6 locations), Universal EV Charging (5 locations), eVgo Network (4 locations) and Tesla (including non-tesla) (3 locations), plus 6 smaller operators. The remaining 625 locations have no operator recorded in our dataset.

How long does the Chicago to St. Louis drive take?

The routing engine puts the 297 mi drive at 4 hr 55 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 St. Louis

Stops are the number of times a car must add range to cover 297 mi, assuming 70% of rated range is usable between stops (the buffer that highway speeds, load and arrival reserve actually take). Formula: stops = ceil(297 / usable range) − 1.

Charging stops by rated range on the Chicago–St. Louis route
Rated range	Usable between stops	Stops needed	Enough chargers on route
150 mi	105 mi	2	Yes — 231 DC locations mapped
200 mi	140 mi	2	Yes — 231 DC locations mapped
250 mi	175 mi	1	Yes — 231 DC locations mapped
300 mi	210 mi	1	Yes — 231 DC locations mapped
