Description
About the book. Electric Vehicle Road Trips USA & Canada offers ideas for 60 EV road trips across North America. Lonely Planet combines driving experiences, sights and charging options in a single plan. A journey along the Pacific coast’s mountains or through New England’s coastal towns can become the starting point for a trip where you take time for more than just the drive itself.
Contents. The routes cover the western, central and eastern parts of the USA, as well as Canada. Among them are the Cascade Loop in Washington, San Francisco to Lake Tahoe, Route 66 and the Big Bend area in Texas. In Canada, the book covers the Kootenay Rockies, the Irish Loop from St John’s, and the route between Halifax and the Cabot Trail. Each route includes an overview, distance, duration and a map with selected charging locations near overnight stops. Practical chapters explain topics such as connectors, charging and EV rental.
Who is this book suitable for? The book suits anyone planning an EV holiday lasting from a few days to several weeks. Tips on accommodation, timing and experiences along the way make it easier to compare routes before researching the details further. You can start with a region or choose an experience that shapes the rest of the plan. The book provides an overall starting point for working through daily stages, breaks and stops, and also makes a good gift idea for a traveller who enjoys road trips and new ways of exploring.
From inspiration to your own plan. Use the guide before departure to pick out a few experiences you really want, and see them in context with the rest of the trip. A plan with fewer stops can leave more time to get to know each place. Browse through it together with your travel companions, compare ideas and find a balance between what you want to cover and what you’ll have time to enjoy. Leave room on some days for breaks and detours too. A physical book is a nice thing to return to when discussing the next stage of the journey.
