Share
When the cold settles in the Northeast and the snow starts falling, we all know what that means… ski season! Whether you’re skiing black diamonds or staying warm and doing some après-skiing with a hot chocolate inside, a ski weekend is the epitome of New England winter fun. As more drivers make the switch to driving electric, ski resorts are accommodating these environmentally sustainable cars by placing charging stations at many popular resorts, lodges, and at the base of their mountain, making it even easier for EV drivers to get to all the best winter destinations. Check out our list of the most iconic EV-friendly northeast ski destinations and the Level 2 EV charging stations that support all electric cars, and head up to the mountains for an electric weekend trip.
Today’s electric cars come in all body styles, with several SUV and crossover options that can fit all your gear and your friends or family. And you can park any nerves about icy roads on your way up the mountain because many of these options come with all-wheel drive capabilities and full-torque from a standstill.
So, what are you waiting for? With ski season opening up, start planning your weekend getaway with our curated list of great ski slopes that have EV charging stations right at the mountain base or very close by.
