Thanks for the tips, I’ll check out those apps for DC fast chargers. I’m also considering charging in between stops just to be safe. Any advice on the best route for a smooth, stress-free trip?

I will be off on a 420-mile trip next Saturday, on my new i5. Range anxiety hits harder than my coffee in the morning, I mean can we trust these chargers? Our lone public charge was a snail-paced 7kW; I’ve seen glaciers melt faster. Efficient mode is our co-pilot on these smooth freeways, but I...
