Yeppoon (Queensland) gets pretty hot in February, so Arthur Hunt and his wife decided to go on a road trip to visit family in Tasmania in 2021. It’s 2,600 km away. Not only would the distance be an issue, but there was a Covid-19 outbreak in New South Wales and Victoria, through which they would […]

I’ve been driving an EV for some time now. But my 2011 Nissan Leaf, while dependable and fun, is a first-generation EV with limited range and has tethered me to an 80-mile radius of home. So, when I was planning to take a road trip from my home in Kentucky to visit my almost 94-year-old […]

I know I left you in utter suspense waiting for more twists in our EV road trip in the Nordics. Writing part two of this series has taken longer than expected. The team needed a good night sleep and got one. The hotel they stayed at was surrounded by more than 40 AC chargers within […]

You may remember previous EV road trips by the journalists of WysokieNapiecie.pl that I’ve reported for CleanTechnica (travelling to Punta Marroqui — the southernmost point of continental Europe — in a Volkswagen ID.4 in 2021, driving to Cabo da Roca — the westernmost point of continental Europe — in a Porsche Taycan in 2020, taking […]

During my first real road trip with my Model Y, I learned a lot of cool stuff.

A few weeks ago, the EV folks on social media joined together to sing the scorn of a German engineering firm’s “Hyper Hybrid” — a modified Tesla with a reduced battery pack and a small range extender under the hood instead of a frunk. “Why fix what isn’t broken?” some asked. The general consensus was that battery EVs are the answer, while plug-in hybrids are a step backward. It’s not that simple, though

I absolutely appreciate the network of charging stations that Electrify America is providing. I used the network almost exclusively in a 4 state drive with a short-range electric vehicle (EV). I drove the 2015 BMW i3 from Electrify America charging station to charging station from deep in Florida to the Appalachians and then back. I had some problems, some small delays, but never had to leave any group of stations without a charge. Yet, I think my suggestions should be taken seriously

2019 has been the year of epic Tesla road trips and adventures. We have seen Teslas exploring in the Arctic Circle, all over Norway, in the Scottish highlands, and pretty much all over the world

The travel log of my trip from the Appalachians to Florida was quite different from my 3 day trip up. I again drove a 2015 BMW i3 REX with 71 miles of electric range. On the 3 day trip up to the Appalachians, I avoided using gas at all, going out of my way to find and use Level 2 chargers between the fast chargers. That is, until the last half hour to the mountain cabin
