Come along for another real-world Ford F-150 Lightning road trip as we work our way from Albany, NY up through Vermont and New Hampshire and finally deep into Maine. 🦞

In this episode we:
• Sneak in early-morning hotel charging on EvoCharge / ViALink stations
• Show real-world consumption, charge curves, and pin temps at multiple Tesla Superchargers (Rutland VT, Dover NH, Scarborough ME) using a NACS→CCS adapter
• Check out Rivian Adventure Network pricing and usage in Freeport, ME
• Do a DIY 12V battery replacement on the Lightning in a grocery store parking lot
• Test Tesla Wall Connectors at the Hollywood Casino Bangor and talk destination-charging strategy
• Explore Freeport & L.L. Bean (under remodel), grab dinner at Nighthawk Kitchen, and share how we actually plan (or don’t plan…) our days on the road

If you’re road-tripping an EV, trying to understand hotel / destination charging, or just curious how the F-150 Lightning handles New England highways and small towns, this one’s for you.
