As the number of electric vehicles and public charging stations rises in the U.S., road tripping in an EV has gone from a futuristic dream to an everyday occurrence.
While EV infrastructure can't yet match the convenience of gasoline, it has made big strides in recent years. The Department of Energy estimates that as of 2022, there are more than 46,000 public charging stations across the country, and newer electric car models routinely boast ranges of 300 miles or more with short charge times.
Whether you already own an EV and are thinking of driving it long distance, are considering one and wondering how road-tripping would work, or want to dip your toes in by renting an EV for your next adventure, here's how to conquer the open road with zero tailpipe emissions.
