Road Tripping in an EV | 08 – Home

After completing our loop, we made it home. 1,864 miles, 438 kWh at an average 235 Wh/mi. Total cost for charging was $54.83.

$0.029/mile.

That’s the best we’ve ever done on a road trip thanks to all the free charging locations. Charging along the way was simple, easy and very accessible with the exception of the Steens trip.

Maybe that will change in the near future.

1,864 miles, 235 Wh/mi (143 mpge), total cost:

We bought a Modern Spare tire to take, just in case, since we were going to be in remote areas with no cell service and potholes but we didn’t need it.

Thanks to the huge trunk in the car (as well as the sub-trunk and the frunk), everything else still fit: two suitcases, two duffel bags, two backpacks, a small cooler, a boatload of charging cables and adapters (that we also didn’t need), extension cords (110v and 240v), a tire pump, binoculars, hiking poles, water bottles, coats and sweaters.

And nothing in the back seat.

To those who ask “yeah, but would you take it on a long road trip?” I have to say, “of course. We have in the past and we will in the future.”
