Wiki Largest gaps between Superchargers on US Interstates

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
On the Socorro, NM thread @PLUS EV asked if I had a list of gaps 140 miles or greater.

Of course I do!
I posted there, but I figured I'd create a separate thread for it.

MAJOR EDIT:
Reorganized to::
1) Top 25 regular gaps not yet split
2) Gaps on "Future Interstates" or current fastest route between open segments
3) Open Splitters

I-90 coeur d' alene, idaho to kingston, turn NE to Thompson Falls, Mt, head for Kalispell, and then to the canadian border - NO Chargers!
 
I think the list of gaps on US highways would be long. But what the heck, I'll start:

US-2, Spokane, WA to Grand Forks, ND: 1,150 miles.

Can anyone beat that one? :)
there is supposed to be a Tesla charger in Superior, Mt and another almost to Missoula, but i have no idea if they are super chargers.
from Coeur d' Alene, Idaho to kingston, then Thompson Falls, to Kalispell, and on to the Canadian border there are NO Tesla chargers at all.
i had to install my own charger outlet and buy a Tesla charging cable.
 
headed from Denver to Montrose, CO tomorrow - and I'm nervous about the 140 miles on Rte 285 between Denver and Poncha Springs. It's "just" 140 miles - but through and up mountains, in hot weather. ... Then it's another 125 from Poncha Springs to Montrose.
Just watch your speed and you will be fine. I did the route from CO Springs (downtown), a couple years ago, passing by Cheyenne Mountain, to Poncha Springs; it was easy. PS to Montrose is pretty easy too, assuming US-50 is fully open. It wasn’t when I went there; had to detour west of Gunnison, and go north quite a ways up through Delta CO; that was a little nerve racking, more distance, more elevation change, but CO-92 was a beautiful drive!

Did this two weeks ago starting from Pueblo supercharger, no sweat. Model X long range. On the return we went all the way from Aspen to Manitou Springs and were able to use a the city free destination charger once over a few days to add ~10% which was way more than enough to get us back to Pueblo supercharger a few days later.

The biggest issue was the construction on US50 past Gunnison. us50.info posts a schedule. We didn’t have to wait very long, but traveling the few one way miles was very slow. Weekends this is not an issue.

You get some back when going downhill. Neither section was a challenge for us. What was a challenge was 190 miles Pueblo to Clayton NM followed by 200 miles Clayton to Plainview TX. In both cases there were chargers in between. I like skipping the older chargers if I can.

what about Pueblo to Santa Fe? do I have to worry about that too? :) ... And yeah, going to Montrose turned out to be no problem.
 
Future Splitter!


On I-69 Union City, TN will split 202.7 miles, 125.4 miles from Southaven, MS and 77.3 miles to Kuttawa, KY.

Future Splitter! On Future I-69, Union City, TN splits 202.7 miles, 125.4 miles from Southaven, MS and 77.3 miles to Kuttawa, KY.
A project building the I-69 bypass around Union City is due to be completed some time around Thanksgiving.
The distances here are from Supercharge.info/MapBox and include a diversion of a section of US-45W/US-51 that re-opened September 20th.
 

Splitter! On I-69, splits 100.7 miles, 42.6 miles from Kuttawa, KY, 62.1 miles to Evansville, IN.

Splits a 105.1 mile gap on I-85, 78.8 miles from Greenville, SC and 28.2 miles to Charlotte, NC.

I forgot this one. Gastonia opened September 19th.
 
Splitter!


On I-94, splits 109.1 miles, 59.9 miles from Fargo, ND, 49.8 miles to Alexandria, MN.

Fergus Falls is now open.

Pathetic? On I-39 Stevens Point, WI splits 131.7 miles, 107.5 miles from Madison - E Washington Ave, WI, 26.7 miles to End (US51/WI29 near Wausau, WI). Not so pathetic since although the gap will still be over 100 miles, in winter that's still a helpful reduction. I think a further splitter in Portage, WI would do it.

That's #16 on the list. (I changed the gap distance because I adjusted the entry to be from the v3 Madison instead of the older v2.)

Stevens Point, WI is now open. Stevens Point, WI split the #11 gap.

#25 is now 118.8 miles, Great Falls, MT to the end at the Canadian border at Sweet Grass, MT. This could be split by Shelby, MT, which is in the Supercharger Voting.
 
Number of additional Superchargers needed to reduce the maximum gap between locations on _single_ US highways, if current Permit and Construction status Superchargers open.

Splitter!


On I-20, Santo, TX will split 120.2 miles, 56.9 miles from Cisco, TX, 64 miles to Arlington - E Bardin Rd, TX. Quite close to an ecstatic split.

Santo, TX is open. This was #23 on the list. However, it should have been #24.

I double-checked the next gaps on my list, and found that one had already been split and the other needed adjusting up significantly.

So, #20 is now I-64, 121.5 miles from Lexington, KY to Huntington, WV. (No identified Splitter, but Morehead, KY is in the middle.)

Nortonville, KY is now open. The gap was just big enough to make it a Splitter! on I-69, but it has filled a hole for anybody who's travel travelling between Nashville, TN and Evansville, IN or other places points beyond using I-24, I-169, I-69.

Pathetic Splitter! On I-35, Natalia, TX splits 173.5 miles, 125.5 miles from Laredo, TX, 48.6 miles to Schertz.
That's the #4 gap on the US Interstates, which would be split down to #20.

However, that gap already has Splitters! There's also San Antonio - E Basse Rd, TX already under construction. San Antonio - E Basse Rd, TX is 160.3 miles from Laredo, TX, 16.2 miles to Schertz, TX, with a 3 mile, 7:46 diversion.

Also a blue dot for San Antonio - Broadway, TX, which would be a 1.9 mile, 5:45 diversion.

So this location is likely to end up as a pathetic Splitter! of another pathetic Splitter!, but as the best potential Splitter! I'll update the table with Natalia, TX.

Natalia, TX is now open. It beat San Antonio - E Basse Rd, TX to the punch.
It was the #4 gap. However, it was a Pathetic Splitter! with a sizable gap remaining so doesn't drop out of the top 25.
The remaining large gap is 125.5 miles from Laredo, TX to Natalia, TX, which is now #14 on the table.
 

Alternative Triple Splitter! With more recent Permit activity I've replaced the Oklahoma City - W Sheridan Ave location in the list.

On I-35 splits 155.2 miles, 99.4 miles from Ardmore, OK, 57.9 miles to Perry, OK. That's #6 on the list.
On I-40 pathetically splits 194.4 miles, 14.5 miles from Oklahoma City, OK, 187.9 miles to Van Buren, AR. That's #2 on the list.
On I-44 splits 242.1 miles, 144.3 miles from Wichita Falls, TX, 99.8 miles to Tulsa, OK. That's #1 on the list.

This is Open. However, I am Away From Spreadsheet. I have something to do when I get back from vacation. Currently at a cold drizzly English seaside town with my wife who is very happy to be by the sea, weather be damned.
 
Yes but it is the junction of I-80 where the rest of the tesla chargers are once you leave Lincoln and Omaha. True, the junction of I-83 and I-80. There is Nothing on I-83 going north all the way into South Dakota and probably nothing going south into Kasas. Its a long, lonely, cold, and windy if not winding road…..barely a campground to be had for 14-50 charging.
I just noticed that NPPD has put a dual CHAdeMO/CCS Chargepoint station in Ainsworth Nebraska (NPPD Station Ainsworth | Ainsworth, NE | EV Station) making 183 viable with those adapters. This makes Valentine, NE (great dark sky area) more accessible as well.
I guess splitters, as far as this thread goes, only refers to Superchargers, however, in such remote places as northern NE, a good redundant CCH/CHAdeMO station definitely makea a huge difference.
There's another such station in Chadron, NE now, making the parks in northeast NE more accessible.
Both make travel across the Nebraska north/south charging desert much more viable and convenient.
