Electric cars are the future of transportation. They’re environmentally friendly, affordable to maintain, and can still provide a pleasant drive. The only problem is that many people don’t know how to prepare for an electric car road trip! Lucky for you, we’ve compiled some tips on what to do before you set out on your journey!

This guide will cover everything from finding charging stations to packing the right supplies. So whether you’re a first-time electric car road tripper or just looking to brush up on your skills, read on for some essential tips!

Choosing an Electric Vehicle for Road Trips

Not all electric vehicles are created equal when it comes to road-tripping. Some cars are better suited for long trips than others. Here are a few things to keep in mind when choosing an EV for your journey:

  • Range: How far can the car go on a single charge? This is an important consideration, especially if you’re going to be traveling in an area where charging stations are scarce.
  • Capacity: Some electric cars have enough space to comfortably accommodate four people, while others may only be best for two. If you’ll be traveling with a large group of friends or family members, make sure the car has enough room!
  • Charging time: Charging time on long trips is important because it affects your itinerary and travel speed. Charging time also varies depending on the type of charger you’re using. If you have a fast charger, your car will charge more quickly than if you’re using a standard household outlet.

How to Choose Your Route

One of the best things about road trips is that they can be tailored to fit any schedule or budget. But while you can change your route at any given moment, it’s important to plan ahead and do some research beforehand!

To decide where exactly you want to go on your road trip, consider how much time you have and what kind of activities interest you the most. If some particular cities or towns hold a special significance for you, then make sure to add them to your route.

When it comes to choosing your mode of transportation, remember that electric cars are still relatively new technology. This means that not all roads and highways are equipped with the necessary charging stations. So before you set out on your trip, be sure to map out a route that will take you through a network of towns and cities!

And don’t forget about the weather. While you can use a car in almost any type of condition, it’s important to keep track of forecasts before planning your route. Depending on where you’re going, road conditions may also play a role in how easy—or difficult—it will be for you to get around!

The best thing you can do is to take electric vehicle insurance to get your vehicle covered against any odds in your journey so that you can keep your trips without any second thoughts.

Where to Stop Along the Way

Once you know where your route will take you, it’s time to plan out some stops along the way. While road trips are supposed to be fun and spontaneous, having a few key destinations in mind can make your journey more enjoyable!

If there is an attraction that interests you or a particular city that holds a special place in your heart, add it to the route. Once you have a list of potential cities or stops along the way, research each one and see how long they’ll take to get to!

Now that you have an itinerary for your road trip set out, all that’s left is packing up and hitting the open road! Just remember that while road trips are supposed to be fun, safety is always the most important factor.

Bonus Tips for EV Road Trips

While the tips mentioned above are essential for a successful road trip in an electric car, there are a few bonus tips that can make your journey even more enjoyable. Below is the infographic from Motor1 that shares some fantastic tips to make your EV road trips a peaceful journey!
