<p>The amount of planning you’ll actually need to do changes slightly depending on your vehicle. For example, if your vehicle is a plug-in hybrid, you won’t need to charge along your route, but can still use the battery to get around at your destination, using the local charging network.&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://ev.ene.org/buying-guide/electric-car-basics/">Learn more about the types of EVs</a></strong></p>

<p>For a full BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle) there is an ever-growing network of DC Fast chargers (also known as Level 3 stations) available to all EVs, being installed at convenient locations around the northeast. This includes the Tesla only SuperCharger network, and other networks that work for any vehicle such as ChargePoint, Electrify America and EVgo. &nbsp;For an overnight recharge, many resorts and hotels offer Level 2 charging so that you’re ready to go somewhere new and exciting each day &nbsp;“Full” of electric “fuel”. That said, it’s important to do a little pre-planning on your route to ensure there is charging on the way, and at your final destination.</p>

<p>From the Boston region, there are various weekend destinations that your trip might take you. Here are some of the most common routes that have established charging stations for their highway corridors.<a href="https://braintree-ev.ene.org/long-trips-made-easy/">New Hampshire Region</a><a href="https://braintree-ev.ene.org/long-trips-made-easy/">Western MA Region</a><a href="https://braintree-ev.ene.org/long-trips-made-easy/">NY Region</a></p>

<p>New Hampshire is quickly advancing its charging infrastructure along its highway routes to make the long trips for its EV drivers from out of state a smooth and stress-free process.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>New Hampshire aims to connect around 400 miles of busy routes across the state, from the White Mountains to the Seacoast and beyond.&nbsp; The specific corridors include:</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:list -->
<ul><li>Interstate I-93 from the MA/NH border to the white mountains and eventually VT</li><li>I-89 from Concord to Vermont</li><li>Route 1 along the NH Coast and into ME.</li><li>Route 16 to take you to the NH Lakes</li><li>An east-west route from I-93 to the Seacoast, either Route 4 or Route 101</li></ul>

<p>Whether you travel North to the Mountains and Lakes, south to other cities, or west out to the country, charging your EV as you travel will often equal the time it takes to take a break from the road and grabbing a bite to eat. You could stop at a mall or a rest stop, or spend the night in a nice hotel or inn where you’ll get a full charge overnight. You can charge as you pick up some groceries for your vacation home and refuel your car without missing a beat. With an EV, travel as you always have except now the journey is more comfortable in your quiet, smooth, and responsive ride.</p>
