Tips for cheap charging in Charleston

Charleston is where I-64, I-77 and I-79 come together, which makes it the main charging stop in southern West Virginia. Fill up here before heading into the mountains, since rural stretches can go a long way between stations.

Heading south on the West Virginia Turnpike means tolls and long climbs through hilly country. Leave Charleston with a healthy charge and expect higher energy use than on flat interstates.

Downtown near the State Capitol and along the Kanawha River has chargers where you can park and walk. Check whether the lot charges for parking before you assume the plug is free.

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 you know what you will pay.
