Can the Wagoneer S Handle It in One Go?

Short answer: Absolutely.
With a 300-mile range, you can complete the full Donut Trail and have the range left over for exploring, detouring, or heading back to your hotel or charging station.

Estimated Driving Breakdown:

• Trail Distance (visiting all 13 shops): ~85–90 miles
• Extra Driving (to/from hotels, scenic stops, etc.): ~50–60 miles
• Total Estimated Distance: ~140–150 miles

That leaves 150+ miles of range to spare, depending on your driving style and A/C usage. No need for range anxiety here.

Tips for a Sweet & Smooth Ride

• Start early: Most donut shops open by 6–7 AM and start selling out by mid-morning.
• Use regenerative braking: Maximize your range while cruising between towns.
• Plot your route in advance: Group the nearby shops (like in Hamilton and West Chester) to save time.
• Bring a cooler: Some donuts are worth taking home but only if they survive the ride.
• Use PlugShare or the Jeep app: Just in case you want to top off the battery while enjoying coffee.
