Road-tripping your new EV? Here are three simple tips to get the most out of your EV driving range.

Nobody had to wait very long, but Julia made another observation:"This is one of the busiest highway travel corridors in the state with the highest concentration of EVs in the U.S." It was also during one of the most traveled holiday weeks of the year, and her point was more than valid.In all, our stop was a full 90 minutes: 43 minutes spent on the charger and the rest spent bopping between charger, eating, bathrooming, entertaining our 2-year-old, and mildly panicking.

On the way back to Los Angeles from Sacramento, we debated trying the alternate route, State Route 99, a considerably less traveled, three-lane highway that runs roughly parallel to Interstate 5. But a check of the available EV chargers made this idea a non-starter. Instead, we opted for a two-stop strategy. We didn't have to wait for any chargers, and each stop was shorter than the one long stop we made on the way up.

, buoyed by charging our battery to 100 percent and the boost in range the charge provided. We pushed too far and stopped to recharge too late, which limited our options.Maxing out the range and making a single long stop may sound like a good plan, but it's a rookie move. Consider shorter, more frequent charging stops—and do so well before your miles remaining runs into single digits.
