This will always be one of my favorite places. Exploring it silently is just icing on the cake.

This remains one of my favorite places on earth. Dust may have obscured some views (and undone my car wash to a spectacular degree) but the sense of splendid isolation here is incredible.

The closest DCFC to Big Bend - last fast electrons until after some time with nature. 📍Tesla Supercharger, Alpine TX

Fast charging with a beautiful sunset 👌 Electrify America, Santa Fe NM

They grow up so fast! Day 3 of the road trip begins - 2,000 miles in and with a milestone for the Lightning - 20,000 awesome all-electric miles in just over 8 months since delivery.

Burning the midnight electrons across New Mexico (new charging state for Lightning!) and the memories of early electric road trips came flooding back on using these ancient ABB EA chargers. 📍 Electrify America, Tucumcari and Santa Rosa, New Mexico

The only kind of traffic jam I enjoy - wind turbine blades in the Texas Panhandle on their way to start their life making cheap electricity! ⚡️🌬️

1,600 miles in and the first pull through and covered charge of the trip! 📍EVgo/Flying J, Sayre OK

Charging with a Mustang Mach-E friend at Lightning’s first charge in Oklahoma! 📍Electrify America, Oklahoma City OK

Road Trip F-150 Lightning meets one that has to work for a living 🤣

Brand new chargers and Lightning’s first charge in Kansas! 😍 Commissioned just this week - meet the 250th Ford Charge location! So awesome having more options at dealers across the US and Canada! 📍Ford Charge at Rusty Eck Ford, Wichita, KS

Hard to believe an entire year has gone by since the opening of Superchargers and the start of adapters! In the last year, I’ve used my adapter 50 times, from Superchargers to IONNA, Kwik Trip, and more. More options = better road trips, including this one! 📍Tesla Supercharger, Emporia KS

Late night fast charge! First Missouri charge for the Lightning! Not pictured, our “1,000 miles in” ice cream reward from Andy’s nearby. 🍦 📍EVgo, Kansas City MO

Last charge in Iowa - next stop, Missouri! 📍 Electrify America, Clive IA

Another good Gen 4 session with Electrify America and a new charging state for the Lightning! 📍Electrify America, Stewartville MN

Day 2 underway, and a great Ford Charge stop for the last charge in Wisconsin! 📍Ford Charge at Dahl Ford, Onalaska WI

Burning the midnight electrons ⚡️ 📍Tesla Supercharger, Fond du Lac WI

A new stop for the Lightning! No canopies here though. 📍EVgo/Pilot, Franksville WI

It’s road trip time! 5,000ish all-electric miles starts… now!

18,000 miles on my F-150 Lightning in less than 8 months - kind of amazing how many adventures it's had in such a short amount of time - and it still hasn't had its first "adventurous" road trip yet (but that's only 2 weeks away!)

New day, new charger! Love seeing how many new chargers are popping up - more options are always welcome! 📍bp pulse, Huntley, IL

Tired: Charging from on-peak electricity. 🥱 Wired: Charging from off-peak electricity. ⚡️ Whatever this is: Charging from the off-peak electricity you stored in the F-150 Lightning last night. 🤯 Bonus: No shuffling cars needed thanks to Pro Power Onboard 💪 #EV

So excited! My Grabber Yellow Mustang Mach-E Rally has been scheduled for production the first week of March! Can’t wait to get one of these in my driveway.

Well, my car battery died… oh not my EV battery. The battery on my unreliable ICE car. Gas cars, always something going wrong… at least AAA sent out a tech in a Ford Lightning to help me out. He said he loves the frunk for his gear. #evsky #batteries #ev

The final splash before home after a fantastic road trip for the holidays. 📍Tesla Supercharger, Genoa (WB) OH

‘Merica 🇺🇸🦅🎆 and Ohio.

I had to make a slight detour… I can’t resist a new charger. No canopies and fancy lounge, but Sheetz is such a perfect partner for a charging network. 📍IONNA, Willoughby OH

The truck is even saltier now! Still no snow storm 🤞 📍EVgo, Moon Township, PA

Well that hand-washed clean is no more. Slush and salt in West Virginia took care of that! 📍Tesla Supercharger, McHenry MD

Hello IONNA! Because of the preemptive detour I’m taking to avoid the winter storm, I happened to be within reach of their Apex, NC Rechargery. More of this, all of it. 👌 📍IONNA, Apex NC

Anyone who says charging takes too long never tried to navigate weekend crowds at Buc-ee’s 😂 📍Mercedes-Benz Charging Network, Florence SC

The first stop on a trip that will not stay this sunny and beautiful - heading back into the cold abyss ❄️ Also a new state for my charging map! 📍Tesla Supercharger, Ridgeland SC

2024 Sales: Mustang: 44K Mustang Mach-E: 52K

Electric Friends Assemble! ⚡️ In the last few years more and more friends have gone electric - this week three of our EVs got to meet for the first time, so of course we had to get pics! Friends help friends go electric!

A new year, so I had to check out a new charger! Six shiny new 400kW Hyperchargers on bp pulse’s rapidly expanding US network! (And of course being me I had to test the cable reach) ⚡️ 📍bp pulse, TA Travel Center Jacksonville FL

2024 Charging Wrap (for my owned EVs) 🏠: 1,083 kWh added at home (13%) 🛣️: 7,411 kWh added via DCFC (87%) Most used networks: 1️⃣: EVgo, 1,731 kWh 2️⃣: Tesla, 1,727 kWh 3️⃣: Ford Charge, 1,219 kWh 📍129 total public charges

It may say GM Energy up top, but that’s not the crowd that’s here 🤣 📍EVgo / Pilot, Tifton, GA

Supercharging with a 🐎 friend 📍Tesla Supercharger, Morrow GA

🐝 stealing all the attention again

Hello Hypercharger! While this isn’t my first time using one, it’s my first time in the US! So awesome to see more hardware options in the US charging space. Bonus: it’s at Buc-ee’s 😍 📍Mercedes-Benz Charging Network, Calhoun GA

Learning first hand how tall Illinois is… At least this charger has a Culver’s! 📍Tesla Supercharger, Mt. Vernon IL

🐝! Stealing all the attention at the Rivian chargers in Normal!

When in Normal… ⚡️ So happy to see open-to-all charging, plus not one but two pull-through stalls for trailers🤘 📍Rivian Adventure Network, Normal IL

A very foggy morning to start the trip from Wisconsin to Florida. Quick splash and dash before hitting Illinois 📍Tesla Supercharger, Janesville WI

Snow is no match for a F-150 Lightning, no matter the size ⚡️

‘Tis the season, F-150 Lightning style ⚡️
