EV Charging in Petoskey, Harbor Springs & Charlevoix

Little Traverse Bay is Northern Michigan’s classic resort coast: Petoskey’s Gaslight District, Harbor Springs across the bay, Charlevoix between two lakes, and the Boyne resorts in the hills behind them. The 26-mile Little Traverse Wheelway links the towns along the waterfront.

Visits here are built from long, parked stretches — a resort stay, a downtown evening, a day on the Wheelway — which is exactly what Level 2 charging is for. The resorts and downtowns carry most of the plugs, with fast charging on the US-31 approach.

When to go: Summer is peak, but this is one of Michigan’s few true four-season destinations — Boyne ski weekends keep winter demand real, and fall color around the bay rivals the Tunnel of Trees.
