My EV gave me freedom from the pumps, but took away my freedom to roam

The author reminisces about their childhood road trips with their family, ignited by their father's spontaneous calls for a weekend getaway. Fueled by a passion for road adventures, the author, now residing in Toronto, shares their recent plan for a 15,000-kilometer road trip in their new electric Volkswagen ID.4. With a range exceeding 400 kilometers on a full charge, the electric vehicle provides the perfect opportunity to embark on a journey from Ontario to British Columbia.


The chosen route traces the historic Route 66 to California, with stops at old motels adorned with neon signs, immersing in the cultural richness of Americana. The voyage continues up the coast to Vancouver Island, where the author plans to revel in the scenic beauty of rocky coves. The return journey involves meandering through British Columbia before traversing Canada once again. This road trip not only represents a personal adventure but also underscores the viability of electric vehicles for long-distance travel, contributing to the broader narrative of clean and sustainable transportation.
