San Antonio to Big Bend EV Road Trip

Plan an electric vehicle road trip on the San Antonio to Big Bend corridor — approximately 404 miles via I-10, US-90, US-385. 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.

404-mile San Antonio to Big Bend, full charge, steady 65 mph, no headwind. Terrain included: 800 m of cumulative climb, descent derived from the elevation difference between the endpoints — intermediate passes are not resolved. A live trip re-runs this against the day's forecast.
