What's the worst stretch in the lower 48 for a charging gap?

[phxazcraig]

I'm wondering where the big gaps are for traveling in the lower 48 US states now. Seems like the interstates are pretty well covered, but the rural areas are a semi-disaster in the west. Not sure about the east, but distances are shorter there between cities.

What are the biggest challenges for say a Model Y LR to cross? Not just distance, but altitude and prevailing winds issues, like coming east into Flagstaff on I-40. (Actually, coming into Flagstaff from any direction involves a hill climb.) My personal wish-I-could-make-that is going across the Navajo reservation, which is enormously large. Lots of cool places to see, but ...

Believe it or not people have been discussing this for years in this thread...

Wiki - Largest gaps between Superchargers on US Interstates

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...

Believe it or not, Google is your friend.

Google search:
1) Tesla Supercharger Map
2) Click on "Find Us"
3) Look at all the red dots!


You live in Phoenix. You can probably draw your own conclusions about altitude changes, wind, etc.

...where it's been discussed that it isn't covering the federal U.S. numbered highways.

Right. There is a vast difference between the interstates versus U.S. and state highways.

The longest gap near me is still very frustrating. It's 379 miles, going up through Idaho from Boise to Coeur D'Alene.
