How many EV charging stations are there between Houston and Austin?

Zevvy has 607 charging locations mapped within 9 mi of the 165 mi route. 120 locations have DC fast charging; the rest are AC or not recorded.

Can I drive from Houston to Austin in an EV?

Yes, on the chargers we have mapped. The longest stretch without a DC fast charger inside the 9 mi corridor is 30 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 Houston to Austin route?

J1772 (Type 1) at 463 locations, CCS1 at 88 locations, NACS (Tesla) at 87 locations, CHAdeMO at 33 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 Houston to Austin drive?

It is the 30 mi stretch after Rivian Adventure Network, before Red E Charging Station. Charge to cover at least that distance before entering it.

Which charging networks operate on the Houston to Austin route?

ChargePoint (18 locations), EV Connect (7 locations), Tesla (including non-tesla) (4 locations), Graviti Energy (3 locations), Blink Charging (2 locations) and Red E Charge (2 locations), plus 3 smaller operators. The remaining 567 locations have no operator recorded in our dataset.

How long does the Houston to Austin drive take?

The routing engine puts the 165 mi drive at 2 hr 50 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, Houston to Austin

Stops are the number of times a car must add range to cover 165 mi, assuming 70% of rated range is usable between stops (the buffer that highway speeds, load and arrival reserve actually take). Formula: stops = ceil(165 / usable range) − 1.

Charging stops by rated range on the Houston–Austin route
Rated range	Usable between stops	Stops needed	Enough chargers on route
150 mi	105 mi	1	Yes — 120 DC locations mapped
200 mi	140 mi	1	Yes — 120 DC locations mapped
250 mi	175 mi	0	No stop needed
300 mi	210 mi	0	No stop needed

Chargers on the Houston to Austin corridor

Ordered by distance from Houston along the driving route, not in a straight line. “Off route” is the perpendicular distance from the road to the charger.

607 charging locations sit inside the corridor, 120 of them with DC fast charging. The 100 DC locations closest to the road are listed here, in driving order.
