Lucid Grand Touring can do it in one charge (that lasts ~45 minutes). Expensive, but it could do it.

I did Shreveport, LA to Pesos, TX as an example.

If you're OK with 2 charging stops, an Ioniq 6 or a Tesla Model 3 will work just fine.

Also, charging speed is irrelevant to how many stops you need. Most chargers are >150kW these days, though.

If you truly want to minimize charging stops, you'd be better served charging 3+ times for shorter periods of time, though.

Nite that many cars can't charge that fast. And if they can, it's usually only for the very lowest SoC of the battery, say below 20% charge.

When buying, look at 20-80% charging times. Don't get dazzled by peak charge rate.

Pecos?

  • I picked Shreveport, LA as a starting location and went west towards El Paso until I found a city that was slightly over 600 miles of distance. The cities are mostly irrelevant unless you pick something that is exceptionally hilly such as routes through mountain ranges or something.
