A road trip with an electric car can be a stress-free experience when you follow these helpful tips.
With our electric car road trip planner, you can get where you need to go with ease and without stress. Keep these tips in mind on your journey out of Maple Shade or Marlton.
Currently, there aren’t as many charging stations as gas stations, so it is important to plan for this before heading out on your electric car road trip. Apps from ChargeHub and PlugShare, for example, can show you the location of charging stations so that you can plan accordingly.
As you add weight to your vehicle, the range can be impacted negatively. Don’t haul items that are not essential for your electric car road trip.
It’s not uncommon for hotels to offer EV charging nowadays. If your road trip includes one or more overnight stays, we highly recommend choosing a hotel with EV charging on site. This allows you to charge your vehicle while you sleep and minimize the number of stops along the way.
Because charging does take time, it is a good idea to plan your charging stops around other activities. For example, schedule charging around meal breaks. Use the time your vehicle is charging to do other activities you were planning to do on your trip.
As you can see, a road trip with an electric car does not have to be a hassle. It can be a fun and exciting experience with friends or family.
