Facility Overview
The Flying J Electric Vehicle Charging Station at 844 E 1250 S in Haubstadt, Indiana, offers premier high-speed charging infrastructure integrated into Flying J Travel Center #647. Designed in partnership with EVgo and General Motors, this charging hub features four dedicated DC fast-charging stalls capable of delivering power up to 350 kW via CCS connectors. As an open-air, ground-level surface plaza, the facility provides wide maneuvering aprons and generous stall spacing. Drivers of passenger sedans, pickup trucks, crossovers, commercial vans, and vehicles towing small trailers will find the layout remarkably accessible, with unconstrained vertical clearance that accommodates high-roof work vans and rooftop luggage carriers with ease.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Strategically positioned near the junction of Interstate 69 and regional transit corridors in Gibson County, this location serves as a primary recharging and rest hub between Evansville (15 miles south) and Bloomington or Indianapolis to the north. While primarily serving regional transit and highway travelers, the location offers immediate proximity to local destinations and dining:
- On-Site Conveniences: The travel center hosts a full convenience store, hot food options, grab-and-go snacks, and national quick-service dining right beside the chargers.
- Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indiana: Situated just 8 miles north in Princeton, making it an easy midday stop for corporate commuters and logistics travelers.
- Evansville Attractions: Located approximately 15 to 20 minutes south, providing straightforward connections to the Ford Center, Old National Events Plaza, and Bally\'s Evansville Casino.
- Tri-State Speedway: Located about 2 miles away, this regional motorsport dirt track brings automotive enthusiasts right past the plaza on race weekends.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Navigating into the plaza is straightforward for drivers travelling northbound or southbound along Interstate 69. Motorists take Exit 18 for IN-68 toward Haubstadt and Lynnville, turning immediately onto County Road 1250 S (Warrenton Road), where dedicated turn lanes and prominent Pilot Flying J signage guide traffic directly into the entrance. The facility features separate lanes for passenger vehicles and commercial semi-trucks, keeping standard cars and EV charging traffic isolated from heavy transport diesel lanes. Exiting back onto I-69 or connecting toward US-41 takes under two minutes, even during busier weekend travel windows.

Visitor & Driver Tips
When entering from East 1250 South, follow signs toward passenger car parking on the main store side rather than the rear truck diesel lanes; the EV charging pedestals are situated near the front convenience entrance. If charging during peak interstate holiday weekends, monitoring stall availability via the EVgo or Pilot Flying J smartphone apps ahead of arrival will help you gauge queue times. Electric vehicle drivers should note that while standard parking during charging and store shopping is free, charging idle fees may apply if your vehicle remains connected after reaching full charge.
