Tips for cheap charging in Bismarck

Bismarck is the main charging stop on I-94 between Fargo and Montana. Heading west toward Medora and Theodore Roosevelt National Park, stations become scarce, so charge fully here and plan your next stop in advance.

Prairie wind and winter cold both cut range on the highway. Give yourself a larger buffer than you would in a milder state, and avoid arriving at a charger nearly empty.

For everyday charging, look for Level 2 stations near the Capitol, downtown and the main shopping areas. Charging while you work or shop is the cheapest way to add range around town.

If a station shows "Price not listed", the network did not publish a rate to the Department of Energy. Open the network's app before plugging in so the cost does not surprise you.
