On the Road This Summer: EV Road Trip Tips

Road trips in personal vehicles continue to be the travel choice for millions of Americans. As charging infrastructure expands rapidly across the country, the open road has never been more accessible for electric vehicle drivers.

Whether you are heading to a national park or visiting local attractions, finding reliable charging stations and EV-friendly businesses is more convenient than ever. That means you can focus on the journey rather than the route.

Top Tips for Your Electric Road Trip

  • Plan Your Charging Stops: Use apps like PlugShare or A Better Route Planner to identify chargers along your path, ensuring you always have a reliable plan. Google Maps also continues to improve EV charging information.

  • Check for EV Amenities: Many hotels and restaurants now offer EV charging; look for these spots to top off your battery while you grab a bite or recharge overnight.

  • Thank Local Businesses for Offering Charging: Many small businesses who have added Level 2 charging will continue to do so when they know it’s appreciated. Be sure to thank them.

  • Connect with Local EVA Chapters: If you are traveling through a new region, reach out to local EVA chapters to discover hidden gems and charging-friendly spots recommended by fellow EV enthusiasts.
