Taking a trip in an EV requires tons of planning with battery range, charging stops, route plan, apps, hotels with chargers and entails much more. Despite the enormous planning, still cant do away with range anxiety as you travel interstates and remote locations.

Here’s a fantastic trip report published on Motortrend

A trip to Walla Walla, Washington, which is home to one of the finest wineries in the country(America’s best wine region!). Located approximately four hours away from Portland, Oregon. Although there are about 64 public chargers but a very few fast chargers are available.

Trip Route

  • Breath-taking drive through the spectacular Enterprise-Lewiston Highway, which is the tri-state region of Oregon, Washington and Idaho. This route is covered with Pine trees , carved in the side of the mountain.(No mobile signals!)
  • Averaged 3.1 miles per kilowatt-hour

Heres the success Mantra

So yes, planning, patience, and math is required when taking a road trip in an electric car, but it can be done—even through the middle of nowhere.
