San Francisco to Yosemite EV Road Trip
Plan an electric vehicle road trip on the San Francisco to Yosemite corridor — approximately 190 miles via I-580, CA-120. TripCaptain shows honest cold-weather range, plans charging stops with a margin for the cold, and checks for winter driving hazards along every segment.
Effective range & charging stops by EV
The plan tunes to your car — Tesla Model 3 / Model Y, Rivian R1T, Ford F-150 Lightning, Ford Mustang Mach-E, Hyundai IONIQ 5, Kia EV6, Chevy Bolt EUV — across mild, cold, and arctic conditions. The number of stops matches the real drive and the day's forecast, not an idealized spec sheet.
