Do you mean if I had Bluetooth audio selected in the truck? I never use my phone for music, I had the truck on Spotify and it would still pause the music on my phone when the phone was connected to the camp speaker. Very annoying.
Great question. For some reason, last weekend all of Electrify America’s chargers were unlocked. So for our two day drive back, we got free juice!
For the time spent in the UP, we were at campsites, so we paid a nightly fee to stay there, but the electricity was included in the cost of the...
We have reached the conclusion....over 2500 miles when it was all said and done. We had a great time, but are happy to be home. Overall, a great experience thanks in no small part to the fantastic performance of our R1T!

Follow along as we attempt our first long EV road trip…with a trailer for extra spice!
Maryland to Wisconsin, through the Upper Peninsula, and back. Roughly 2000+ Miles or so.
Planning the route with A Better Route Planner. We will post the charging stops, and other successes and failures...

Overall, the 8 step process for me was littered...
