Interstate 95 is Florida's main artery, stretching roughly 350 miles from Jacksonville to Miami along the Atlantic coast. In 2026, this corridor is one of the best-served EV charging routes in the entire United States, with fast chargers every 30–50 miles from end to end. Whether you're driving a Tesla, Hyundai, Ford, or any other EV, this city-by-city guide covers every major charging stop you'll need for a stress-free drive down the Sunshine State's eastern seaboard.
Trip Overview: What to Expect
The Jacksonville to Miami drive takes approximately 5–5.5 hours without stops. Most EVs with 300+ miles of range will need 1–2 charging stops along the way, adding 20–40 minutes to your total trip time. With 280+ miles of range, plan for two stops. With 320+ miles, you may get away with just one. EVs with 250 miles or less should plan for two comfortable stops with a buffer.
The good news: charging infrastructure along Florida's I-95 is so dense that you'll never be more than 30 miles from a DC fast charger. Range anxiety is genuinely a non-issue on this route in 2026. Here's every major charging stop from north to south.
City-by-City Charging Guide
Jacksonville — Mile 0 (Starting Point)
3 locations, 40+ stalls
2 locations, 16 stalls
Town Center (near I-95/JTB)
Up to 350 kW
Jacksonville has robust charging coverage with three Tesla Supercharger locations and two Electrify America stations. The St. Johns Town Center area near the I-95/JTB interchange is the most convenient starting point, with both Tesla and EA stations plus abundant shopping and dining. Top off to 90% before heading south for maximum flexibility.
St. Augustine — Mile 40
DC fast, 4 stalls
8 stalls (V3)
St. Augustine Premium Outlets
Only if sightseeing
Just 40 miles south of Jacksonville, St. Augustine is too close for most drivers to need a charging stop. But if you're visiting America's oldest city and want to explore, ChargePoint and Tesla both have fast chargers near the outlet mall. The historic district is a 10-minute drive from the chargers — worth a detour if you have time.
Daytona Beach — Mile 90
12 stalls (V3, 250 kW)
8 stalls (350 kW)
Near I-95 & LPGA Blvd
Yes — first ideal stop
Daytona Beach is the first recommended charging stop for drivers starting in Jacksonville. At 90 miles south, you'll have used roughly 25–30% of your battery at highway speeds. Both Tesla Supercharger and Electrify America stations are conveniently located near I-95 exits with nearby restaurants and shopping. A 15-minute charge here gives you ample range to reach the next major stop.
Viera / Melbourne — Mile 160
12 stalls (V3)
4 stalls (350 kW)
The Avenue Viera
Yes — great midpoint
Viera/Melbourne sits almost exactly at the midpoint of the Jacksonville-to-Miami drive. Tesla owners have a 12-stall Supercharger, while non-Tesla drivers can use the EVgo fast chargers. The Avenue Viera open-air shopping center offers excellent dining and coffee shops for a comfortable break. This is the ideal single-stop location if your EV has 300+ miles of range.
Port St. Lucie — Mile 220
10 stalls (Walmart)
8 stalls
Walmart & Tradition area
Second stop option
Port St. Lucie is an excellent second charging stop for drivers doing two stops on the full Jacksonville-to-Miami run. The Electrify America station at the Walmart Supercenter offers 350 kW charging for compatible vehicles. With Miami just 130 miles south, even a quick 10-minute charge here gives you more than enough range to reach your destination comfortably.
West Palm Beach — Mile 270
16 stalls (V3)
10 stalls
ChargePoint, EVgo
35+ stalls
West Palm Beach is a charging hub with over 35 fast-charging stalls across multiple networks. If you only need one stop between Jacksonville and Miami and have a 300+ mile EV, this is a strong single-stop option at roughly 75% of the way. The city offers excellent dining, shopping, and waterfront areas within a short drive of charging stations.
Fort Lauderdale — Mile 310
50+ stalls citywide
3 locations
2 locations
~30 miles
Fort Lauderdale has some of the densest EV charging coverage in the state. With Miami just 30 miles south, most drivers won't need to stop here unless they're running low or Fort Lauderdale is their final destination. Multiple Tesla Supercharger locations, Electrify America, EVgo, and ChargePoint stations provide ample options across the city.
Miami — Mile 350 (Destination)
100+ stalls metro-wide
5+ locations
3+ locations
Dense urban network
Miami has one of the densest EV charging networks in the southeastern United States. With over 100 fast-charging stalls across the metro area, finding a charge is never a problem. Tesla Superchargers are located in Brickell, Doral, Aventura, Coral Gables, and Miami Beach. Electrify America, ChargePoint, and EVgo stations fill in the gaps. Many hotels and parking garages also offer Level 2 destination charging.
Tesla vs Non-Tesla: Charging Network Access
Tesla drivers have the easiest experience on this route. The Supercharger network is the most reliable, fastest, and most abundant along Florida's I-95. With V3 Superchargers at every major stop, Tesla owners enjoy consistent 250 kW charging speeds and real-time availability information in the car's navigation system.
Non-Tesla drivers have excellent options too. Most Tesla Superchargers in Florida now support CCS (Combined Charging System) via the Magic Dock adapter, opening them to all EVs. Electrify America offers 350 kW charging at most locations, and their stations are typically found at Walmart stores along I-95. ChargePoint and EVgo round out the options in urban areas. The key is to have the PlugShare and ABRP apps installed for real-time charger availability.
Range Planning Tips
Start at 90%, not 100%. Charging from 90% to 100% takes disproportionately long. Starting at 90% saves time with minimal range sacrifice.
Drive at 70–75 mph, not 85. Highway speed dramatically affects EV range. At 70 mph, most EVs achieve close to their EPA rating. At 85 mph, expect 15–20% less range. Florida's I-95 speed limit is 70 mph in most sections — stick to it and you'll maximize your range.
Arrive at chargers with 10–20% remaining. Batteries charge fastest at lower states of charge. Arriving at a charger with 10% and charging to 60% is much faster than arriving at 40% and charging to 90%. Plan your stops accordingly to minimize total charging time.
