How many EV charging stations are there between Los Angeles and San Francisco?

Zevvy has 2349 charging locations mapped within 9 mi of the 382 mi route. 432 locations have DC fast charging; the rest are AC or not recorded.

Can I drive from Los Angeles to San Francisco in an EV?

Yes, on the chargers we have mapped. The longest stretch without a DC fast charger inside the 9 mi corridor is 34 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 Los Angeles to San Francisco route?

J1772 (Type 1) at 1942 locations, CCS1 at 314 locations, NACS (Tesla) at 219 locations, CHAdeMO at 181 locations and Type 2 AC at 2 locations. Each location is counted once per connector type it offers.

Where is the longest gap without a fast charger on the Los Angeles to San Francisco drive?

It is the 34 mi stretch after ChargePoint Charging Station, before Rivian Adventure Network. Charge to cover at least that distance before entering it.

Which charging networks operate on the Los Angeles to San Francisco route?

AmpUp (99 locations), ChargePoint (50 locations), Tesla (including non-tesla) (13 locations), eVgo Network (5 locations), EVCS (4 locations) and Blink Charging (3 locations), plus 13 smaller operators. The remaining 2154 locations have no operator recorded in our dataset.

How long does the Los Angeles to San Francisco drive take?

How many charging stops you need, Los Angeles to San Francisco

Stops are the number of times a car must add range to cover 382 mi, assuming 70% of rated range is usable between stops (the buffer that highway speeds, load and arrival reserve actually take). Formula: stops = ceil(382 / usable range) − 1.
