Check the Locate a Charger map or the Electrify America app to find charging locations and view charger availability.
Know Your EV:
Understand your vehicle's range, charging speed, and other key capabilities. Some EVs have a preconditioning feature that warms or cools the battery to the optimal temperature for charging, making charging and battery performance more efficient in extreme weather. Check your owner's manual for instructions on the availability of preconditioning, and how to use it if available.
Charge Up & Pack Up:
Start with a full charge and pack the essentials: snacks, phone chargers, and anything else to keep you comfortable.
Keep Time in Mind:
To stay on schedule, factor in time for traffic or potential station charging. Use the time to take a break, stretch your legs, or grab a bite to eat at nearby amenities. Building extra time into your plan can help ensure you arrive relaxed.
Charge Efficiently:
Charging up to 80% State of Charge (SOC) helps save time, as many EVs slow their charging rate after this point. This gets you back on the road faster and reduces wait times at busy stations. Learn more about using our charging stations here.
