My First EV Road Trip Happened
With the help of the Fast charging network opening a corridor from Montreal to Quebec.
625 Km ( 388 miles) in 15 hours
Here are the detailed Legs of the trip that I was able to to record
We kept things conservative & did not try to push for speed or try to travel too far on a single charge.
Especially since we had never been to these charge locations before.
Might help a fellow EV driver if they plan to travel this corridor.
I took some short video clips and will try to edit and put them a link at a later time.
