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

Zevvy has 1344 charging locations mapped within 9 mi of the 55 mi route. 270 locations have DC fast charging; the rest are AC or not recorded.

Can I drive from San Jose 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 5 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 charging stops.

What charging connectors are available on the San Jose to San Francisco route?

J1772 (Type 1) at 1062 locations, CCS1 at 192 locations, NACS (Tesla) at 176 locations, CHAdeMO at 102 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 Jose to San Francisco drive?

It is the 5 mi stretch after PowerFlex Charging Station, before EVgo Car Charging Station. Charge to cover at least that distance before entering it.

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

ChargePoint (53 locations), eVgo Network (4 locations), Tesla (including non-tesla) (3 locations), Blink Charging (2 locations), Electrify America (2 locations) and IONNA (2 locations), plus 8 smaller operators. The remaining 1269 locations have no operator recorded in our dataset.

How long does the San Jose to San Francisco drive take?

How many charging stops you need, San Jose to San Francisco

Stops are the number of times a car must add range to cover 55 mi, assuming 70% of rated range is usable between stops (the buffer that highway speeds, load and arrival reserve actually take). Formula: stops = ceil(55 / usable range) − 1.

Charging stops by rated range on the San Jose–San Francisco route
Rated range	Usable between stops	Enough chargers on route
150 mi	105 mi	No stop needed
200 mi	140 mi	No stop needed
250 mi	175 mi	No stop needed
300 mi	210 mi	No stop needed
