![]() With an adapter, I could use electricity from the vehicle to charge my computer and edit videos during long road trips. I knew it could make a longer trek-it drove as smoothly as my pick-up truck and I could sleep comfortably across its backseat in a sleeping bag. In those first few months, I drove my EV almost 20,000 kilometres in Quebec in those first few months. It has a 77-kilowatt battery and can travel up to 488 kilometres on a single charge. I made the jump in April of 2022, purchasing a roomy, five-seater Hyundai Ioniq 5 Long Range for $52,000. But I held off: few electric models had enough space for a family of five and two car seats in the back. I’ve wanted to get an electric vehicle ever since Tesla introduced its first model back in 2008. ![]() But once we were back, I started kicking around a new idea: could I recreate that three-country, transcontinental road trip in an electric vehicle? Worried about border closures, we rushed home, only stopping to sleep at night. When COVID struck and international air travel shut down, we piled everyone into the truck and made the return drive all the way from Mexico back to rural Quebec. My wife and three kids flew down to meet me there for vacation. In 2020, I drove my Ford F150 pick-up from Quebec to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, to shoot some resorts for a client-a 5,000-kilometre, seven-day drive. I’m a commercial photographer based in Disraeli, a small town in Quebec.
