The first leg of our Newfoundland run in the Ford F-150 Lightning (extended range): Cambridge, Ontario to Pleasant Point, Nova Scotia, 21–23 August 2026. Three aboard — Joy, Christine and Rose.

1,865.6 km in seven runs, 40 h 22 min door to door, battery 94 % → 27 %. Six charging stops, five that charged — Témiscouata was Tesla-only and we could not plug in.

Every charge on this leg was metered: 422.9 kWh for $191.89 on the receipts, before the Grand-Sault tax, which was not recorded. Here is the road, stop by stop.
