These Are the Best Classic American Roadtrip Routes for Electric Vehicles

Hipcamp wants to help you get out and explore the great outdoors during the few weeks of summer we have left. (Sorry to remind you that fall is indeed coming.) But it’s not doing this alone. 

In July, Hipcamp, a marketplace for finding and reserving unique camping sites, announced a new partnership with Subaru of America to give you 10 “electric vehicle-ready road trips” from coast to coast. 

Each itinerary, the brand stated in a press release shared with Travel + Leisure, includes access to EV charging stations, pet- and family-friendly stays, and routes that are accessible to everyone throughout the nation. 

“Our mission at Hipcamp is to get more people outside. With our new collection of routes that prioritize EV-charging opportunities, we hope to make it simpler than ever to plan your next outdoor adventure,” Alyssa Ravasi, the founder and CEO of Hipcamp, shared in a statement. “We are here to make your camp experience all the better and have shared some of our top points of interest and national parks.”

The routes include plenty of iconic stretches of road like Route 66, Texas’s Chihuahuan Desert, and Highway 1 in California, along with more under-the-radar paths to bring people to more remote destinations. 

The itineraries include its Blue Ridge Parkway route, which begins at Shenandoah National Park and heads through the Smoky Mountains, along with the Olympic Peninsula route, which begins in Seattle and winds its way through the Olympic Peninsula, ending at Kalaloch Beach.

There’s also Utah’s Mighty 5 itinerary, which begins in Moab and takes drivers through all of Utah’s national parks, and the Sierra Nevada route, which starts at Yosemite National Park and includes stops at Nevada Falls, Eastern Sierra Lakes, and Kings Canyon National Park ending in Sequoia.

Travelers can also take the Great Lakes path beginning in Duluth and winds through the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, the Keweenaw Peninsula, Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, and Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, or try the Grand Canyon State route, which kicks off in Flagstaff, going through Sedona, the Grand Canyon, and Antelope Canyon with a final stop in Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park.

“At Subaru, we believe everyone deserves access to the outdoors and all the beauty it has to offer,” Alan Bethke, the senior vice president of marketing at Subaru, added. “We are excited to be partnering with Hipcamp to provide a resource that can help drivers and their friends and family to explore.”
