We love seeing cross country trips using EVs. Here is a cool trip!
The Van Deerlins (@vivivandeerlin) traveled 3,180 miles to Northern California all the way from Philadelphia to celebrate their 30th anniversary.
(As a cool side note, the couple volunteer at Delaware Valley Tesla Owners Club @DelValTesla)
Chargers used:
- The couple used 15 Superchargers
- and six slower destination charging stations at hotels and other locations
Overall, the couple spent $130 on charging their vehicle during the road trip. They calculated they would’ve needed at least 126 gallons of gasoline with a combustion engine (you can estimate the $$)
Notable quotes:
“We were surprised by how easy it was to drive across the country”
“The car did not disturb the peace and quiet,” (in Yosemite valley)
