Taking a Road Trip in Your Electric Car: What You Need to Know

The "Great American Road Trip" has been around almost as long as the automobile itself, and there's no reason to think that this tradition won't continue with electric cars.

Charging stations are appearing in greater numbers all over the country: in cities large and small, in small-town America, and right off the highway. This makes it easier to take a long road trip.

While waiting for more EV's to arrive, here are some other vehicles we recommend.

Charging On-the-Go

As the number of charging stations increases, more destinations will be in reach. In may cases you'll just use your phone to locate charging stations on your route and charge at the nearest one.

You may have noticed that many gas stations are starting to add EV charging stations.

And EV charging stations will soon be located at or near restaurants, so you'll be able to charge up while you're eating lunch or dinner.

Planning for a road trip in an electric car isn't exactly like taking a trip with a gas-powered car. But charging will only get easier, and the real difference is where and how you "fill the tank."

In the future, this will get even easier, and you won't even need to think twice about it.
