That sort of trip used to be a guaranteed headache, but I’m sure by now you will find plenty of charging stations without even really trying. If it were me, I’d still try to map out the stops for peace of mind. You’re probably on 40 for a good chunk of that, and then 95. IIRC, 40 has you go through TN for an absurdly long time, probably like 20-25% of the total trip lol. I’m in NoVA and can warn you now to try to avoid being on or near the beltway 1500-1900 on a weekday haha. You might as well just stop and have a relaxed dinner and car charge if that’s how your timing falls.
I’ve done the drive before. Thinking Austin to Nashville on day 1, then Nashville to Arlington on day 2 (I’ve got some friends there I’ll be staying with), and Arlington to NYC on day 3. 495 can indeed go fuck itself.

But I’ll be leaving super early on a Friday, with my charging stops planned out using A Better Route Planner.
