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

Zevvy has 1448 charging locations mapped within 9 mi of the 115 mi route. 286 locations have DC fast charging; the rest are AC or not recorded.

Can I drive from San Francisco to Monterey in an EV?

Yes, on the chargers we have mapped. The longest stretch without a DC fast charger inside the 9 mi corridor is 15 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 San Francisco to Monterey route?

J1772 (Type 1) at 1132 locations, CCS1 at 207 locations, NACS (Tesla) at 191 locations, CHAdeMO at 116 locations and Type 2 AC at 5 locations. Each location is counted once per connector type it offers.

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

It is the 15 mi stretch after Electrify America Charging Station, before Tesla Supercharger. Charge to cover at least that distance before entering it.

Which charging networks operate on the San Francisco to Monterey route?

ChargePoint (59 locations), eVgo Network (3 locations), Tesla (including non-tesla) (3 locations), Blink Charging (2 locations), Electrify America (2 locations) and IONNA (2 locations), plus 9 smaller operators. The remaining 1367 locations have no operator recorded in our dataset.

How long does the San Francisco to Monterey drive take?

The routing engine puts the 115 mi drive at 2 hr 15 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, San Francisco to Monterey

Stops are the number of times a car must add range to cover 115 mi, assuming 70% of rated range is usable between stops (the buffer that highway speeds, load and arrival reserve actually take). Formula: stops = ceil(115 / usable range) − 1.

Charging stops by rated range on the San Francisco–Monterey route
Rated range	Usable between stops	Stops needed	Enough chargers on route
150 mi	105 mi	1	Yes — 286 DC locations mapped
200 mi	140 mi	0	No stop needed
250 mi	175 mi	0	No stop needed
300 mi	210 mi	0	No stop needed
