Electric Cars vs. Road Trips: Can You Go the Distance?

Planning a summer staycation? Here’s how Renault and Dacia EVs are making long drives smarter, smoother, and more sustainable.

When you think road trip, your mind probably jumps to coastal roads, packed picnics, and long playlists – not plugging in your car. But with today’s electric vehicles (EVs) like the Renault Megane, Renault Scenic, and the Dacia Spring, you absolutely can enjoy summer adventures without range anxiety.

Can these EVs really go the distance? (Spoiler alert: yes, they can.)
