The Best Valentine's Day Road Trip in an EV: A Couples' Guide | Taha Abbasi
Taha Abbasi··2 min read
Taha Abbasi shares why Valentine’s Day road trips are better in an EV — with practical tips for romantic getaways without range anxiety.
Why EVs Win at Romance
Traveling with Nichell in their Cybertruck “Kemosabe” across beautiful landscapes, Taha Abbasi discovered EVs offer silence, smoothness, and effortless driving that lets you focus on your partner instead of engine noise.
Charging Stops Are Features
20-30 minutes at a Supercharger = built-in stretch breaks, coffee stops near cafes and shops, no gas station smell, and a perfectly pre-conditioned cabin when you return. Conventional wisdom says disadvantage; Taha Abbasi argues feature.
Route Planning Tips
Use A Better Route Planner (ABRP). Plan for 80% charges (80-100% is slow and unnecessary). Include one scenic charging stop. Pre-heat cabin from the app before leaving.
Best EV Features by Brand
Tesla: Camp Mode, Theater Mode, Automations. Rivian: Camp Kitchen, Adventure Routing. Lucid: 520-mile range, DreamDrive. Cybertruck: Truck bed camping, V2L power.
Recommended Routes
Utah: SLC to Moab via I-15 and US-191. California: Pacific Coast Highway. Colorado: Denver to Vail via I-70. Arizona: Sedona red rocks via Flagstaff. All have good Supercharger coverage.
The Real Romance
As Taha Abbasi puts it: the best Valentine’s Day isn’t the restaurant or the gift. It’s the adventure. An EV road trip — silent, smooth, with built-in pause moments — is the modern romantic getaway. And you’re saving the planet while you do it.
