⚡ Family EV road trips
By Joey Stephen
Together, we explore our travel adventures — especially with our new Ford F-150 Lightning. Join us as we share our travel stories, tips, and the joys of discovering new places through the eyes of an EV owner.
Whether it’s a bustling city, serene countryside or sandy beach, our journey is about embracing each moment — and inspiring other families to set off on their own.
The summer route
Road trips back and forth to our summer home on the Atlantic shore — not by air for a change, but by road, reducing our carbon footprint and enjoying ourselves.
Meet the navigator
Rose, a 2nd-grade student, proudly serves as her dad’s navigator on road trips. She takes charge of pre-departure inspections, logs each journey, and monitors traffic during the long drives — which she thoroughly enjoys.
Her trip logs are full of practical information for EV families setting out on long road trips. You can follow her adventures on her YouTube channel, RosePlaces.
