Drive around Moorestown, and you are sure to spot more gas stations than EV charging stations. That is the case in most areas across the country. This is why we suggest downloading EV charging apps like ChargePoint, Electrify America, or EVgo. These apps can locate charging stations on your route, and some give you the chance to reserve charging stations before you arrive.
When you take a road trip with an EV, it’s best to only pack the essentials. Range decreases as the weight of the vehicle increases. This issue is not exclusive to EVs, though. As you add more weight to a vehicle with an internal combustion engine, fuel economy decreases.
Does your electric vehicle road trip feature overnight stops? Save time by choosing a hotel that offers EV charging. Your vehicle can charge while you sleep and be ready for the next day’s adventure!
Another way to save time on your road trip with an electric vehicle is to plan charging stops around other activities on your itinerary. For example, when your vehicle is due for a charge, it can be a great time to plan for a meal break or a little shopping.
