Should you take this trip, you’ll travel more than 2,700 miles through 11 states and many major cities, including Indianapolis, IN; Columbus, OH; Denver, CO; and Kansas City and St. Louis, MO. The route even passes through Las Vegas, the perfect place to pull over for a night of revelry. Charging stations are located an average of 70 miles apart throughout the entire route.

“Electrify America’s primary goal has always been to advance electric vehicle adoption in the U.S., and that starts by instilling feelings of confidence and freedom in consumers when it comes to EV ownership,” said Anthony Lambkin, director of operations at Electrify America, in a press release. “The completion of our first cross-country route is a significant step towards that goal — by making long-distance travel in an EV a reality, we hope to encourage more consumers to make the switch to electric.”
A second cross-country route is slated for completion by September, beginning in Florida and passing through Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona en route to San Diego, CA.
