Going on a roadtrip evokes images of freedom, discoveries, and adventures on the road. With the growing popularity of electric vehicles, it is now possible to experience this in an eco-friendly way. Embarking on a roadtrip with an EV requires some preparation to ensure a pleasant journey. Here is a complete guide to help you plan your next electric roadtrip!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

PREPARATIONS BEFORE DEPARTURE<\/strong><\/h2>\n

PLAN YOUR ROUTE<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s no secret that an electric vehicle needs to be recharged quite frequently. If you have several hundred kilometers to travel, you should keep in mind that you will need to stop to recharge. To make your life easier, we strongly suggest planning your stops in advance. To do this, we recommend using specialized apps and websites to plan your route. Tools like\u00a0PlugShare<\/a>,\u00a0ChargeHub<\/a>, or\u00a0A Better Route Planner<\/a>\u00a0(ABRP) can help you find charging stations along your route. In addition to embarking on your roadtrip with peace of mind, planning your stops to recharge your vehicle allows you to stretch your legs and enjoy local attractions! It\u2019s a win-win!<\/p>\n

With these apps, you can easily locate the various charging station networks along your route. In Quebec, the\u00a0Electric Circuit<\/a>\u00a0can meet most of your needs, but elsewhere, it\u2019s different\u2026 so it would be good to subscribe to other charging networks (often free!) in advance so that you don\u2019t have any surprises or difficulties on the road. It\u2019s always stressful to have difficulty recharging when the battery is almost depleted, so it\u2019s best to be prepared!<\/p>\n

Moreover, these apps also allow you to easily find hotels that offer on-site charging during the night!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

CHECK THE CONDITION OF THE VEHICLE<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Before leaving, have your vehicle checked to ensure it is in perfect condition. Check the tire pressure, fluid levels (such as coolant for the batteries), and make sure the charging system is working properly.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

IMPORTANT ELEMENTS TO CONSIDER<\/strong><\/h2>\n

BATTERY RANGE AND CHARGING<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Battery range is one of the most important aspects to consider. Always keep an eye on the charge level and plan regular stops to recharge. During your roadtrip, you may encounter occasional charging station failures. Unfortunately, these things can happen, so it is advisable to anticipate this possibility and always have a second charging point nearby. Hence the importance of frequently monitoring your battery level! Fortunately, the charging network in Quebec is well-established and continues to expand, so you don\u2019t need to worry too much about this, as public stations are well distributed throughout the territory.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

CHARGING TIME<\/strong><\/p>\n

Charging time<\/a>\u00a0varies depending on the type of station. Fast chargers can charge 80% of the battery in about 30 minutes, while residential chargers can take several hours. Depending on your route, these stop times can allow you to rest, eat, visit family or friends, and explore the surroundings. In other words, this charging time allows you to enjoy your roadtrip differently!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

ESSENTIAL ACCESSORIES<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just like your phone charger, some accessories are essential on the road. Regardless of the type of vehicle, electric or not, if you have a first aid kit, basic tools, and a spare tire, it is highly recommended to bring them with you.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

POTENTIAL PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS<\/strong><\/h2>\n

AVAILABILITY OF CHARGING STATIONS<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The availability of charging stations can vary by region. To avoid unpleasant surprises, always plan a route with several charging options and check user reviews of the stations. Once there, you may have to wait a bit to recharge, but that\u2019s part of the roadtrip experience! Note that long weekends are times when fast chargers are busier than usual.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

CHARGING FAILURES<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A station may be out of service. In this case, always have a plan B nearby. Some apps allow you to report outages and find solutions quickly, so we suggest installing them on your phone to be well-prepared for any eventuality. If you have a portable charger, bring it with you\u2026 even a small charge on 120V can help!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

BATTERY MANAGEMENT<\/strong><\/h3>\n

You can optimize your car\u2019s range by adjusting your driving habits. This means using cruise control, avoiding sudden accelerations, and taking advantage of energy regeneration during descents. These small actions will have a positive impact on your battery range and allow you to travel further between charges.<\/p>\n
