Summer is the perfect time to unwind, explore new places and embark on getaways. If you have an electric vehicle (EV), you might be wondering how to best organise your trip to make it comfortable, safe and hassle-free. To this end, we’ve put together a practical guide to help you enjoy your electric journey with complete peace of mind.
A change of mindset: travelling with an EV is easier than you think
More and more people are choosing electric vehicles for their daily journeys. However, medium- and long-distance travel can still raise some doubts. In reality, charging infrastructure has expanded significantly in recent years, and today it is perfectly feasible to travel by electric vehicle, both within Catalonia and across the country.
The key is to plan ahead, know your vehicle’s range and make the most of the resources available. The public charging network is constantly growing, and an increasing number of tourist destinations are committed to supporting sustainable mobility. What’s more, charging stops can become opportunities to rest, explore new places or simply take in the surroundings.
Practical tips for your electric journey
To help you prepare for a successful trip, we’d like to share a series of basic recommendations to optimise your experience:
- Plan your route and locate charging points
Check maps of charging stations and identify available points along your route and at your destination. It’s also useful to seek out alternatives.
- Charge the battery before setting off
Make sure you start with a full battery. You can conveniently do this at any of the 1,032 charging points of the Endolla Barcelona network.
- Adapt your driving style
Avoid sudden acceleration, make use of regenerative braking and maintain a steady speed to improve your range.
- Plan breaks to rest and recharge
Schedule stops at places where you can make good use of your time: service stations, charming villages or beautiful natural areas.
- Find out about charging points at your destination
Many accommodations, public car parks and shops offer charging options. Check before you book.
- Stay flexible
Even with careful planning, there may be changes or unforeseen events. Having an open attitude will help you enjoy the journey more.
Electric mobility: a more sustainable way to travel
Travelling by electric vehicle is not only a practical and economical alternative – it’s also a responsible decision that helps combat climate change and improve air quality.
Reducing emissions and committing to renewable energy are some of the benefits that make EVs a key part of cleaner and more efficient mobility. Moreover, the Endolla Barcelona charging network makes this transition possible by putting technology at the service of people.
This summer, join electric mobility and enjoy a journey that is more mindful, calm and connected to the local area.
Have a great trip and a wonderful holiday with Endolla Barcelona!
