I'm planning an upcoming drive from MKE to St. Louis. Has anyone does this drive? Any suggestions on charging stops?

I haven’t taken the entire trip, but I was able to easily make it to the EA charger in Normal, IL, which is on the way to St. Louis. That was in September, however. If the weather is frigid you might want to plan a stop in Rockford just to be safe.

Thank you. It sounds like the EA in Normal worked well?

use plugshare to check the status the day before and the day of the trip just to make sure all stations are up and running. I've made the trip from Chicago burbs down to St. Louis. There isn't much in terms of charging in central IL, I did have to wait about 15 min at the Walmart EA station to charge.

The drive went smoothly. Only had one issue with one station where it derated due to plug temp. However that was on a 150 kw unit when all the 350s where occupied. The truck could have made it from MKE to STL with one stop from 100% charge (in Bloomington) but we opted for a second short break/charge. That said it wasn't that cold outside (in the 40s).
