Headline: Reddit User Completes 14,000-Mile Electric Road Trip in Hyundai Ioniq 6
In an extraordinary feat, a Reddit user named lightofhonor embarked on a 14,000-mile road trip across the United States in a Hyundai Ioniq 6, visiting iconic destinations such as national parks, theme parks, and monuments.
The journey, which started in July and was taken with children, included stops at 12 national parks, 5 theme parks, and 3 monuments. Notable detours included Bryce Canyon, Zion, Gallup, Wall Drug, and Badlands National Park.
During the trip, the user utilized multiple charging brands, including Electrify America and Pilot gas stations. However, issues were encountered with ChargePoint chargers, which were reportedly slow and prone to connector problems.
Despite these challenges, the user averaged an impressive 3.6 miles per kilowatt-hour during the trip and experienced no range issues. The car's charge was limited to 90%, and a slight setback occurred when two tires blew simultaneously in New Jersey due to the car's 20-inch wheels.
Chris Johnston, author of the book "The Arrival of The Electric Car", covered the user's journey on Torque News. Johnston, who has decades of product management experience in telematics, mobile computing, and wireless communications, operates in the electric vehicle sector. He holds a B.S. in electrical engineering from Purdue University and an MBA. In his free time, he enjoys restoring classic wooden boats, open water swimming, cycling, and flying as a private pilot.

As the electric vehicle market continues to grow, options for long-distance travel are becoming increasingly viable. Four EV models with ranges exceeding 320 miles and priced in the low $40,000 range (except Hyundai Ioniq 9 at about $60,000) are suitable for road trips: Chevy Equinox EV, Kia EV9, Hyundai Ioniq 9, and Tesla Model Y.
The number of public EV charging ports in the U.S. has more than doubled between 2020 and 2022, reaching 207,227. Tesla's Supercharger network dominates fast charging with unmatched reliability and strategic placement along major travel corridors, now open to non-Tesla vehicles. ChargePoint leads in total charging spots, offering flexible hardware and software solutions through a network owned and operated by businesses and municipalities. Electrify America delivers ultra-fast charging powered by 100 percent renewable energy, with locations often at retail destinations.
