Move over, gas guzzlers! A new wave of eco-conscious travelers is hitting China’s highways, proving electric vehicles (EVs) aren’t just for city commutes. Take Ms. Wang’s family from Hangzhou: They just wrapped an epic 2,942km coastal road trip spanning 7 cities—all in their EV. 🌊✨
Adventure on a Budget (and a Battery)
Their 11-day Spring Festival 2026 journey cost just 7,000–8,000 yuan (~$1,100–$1,200), blending hotel stays with two nights sleeping in their car near Huizhou and Shantou. Pro tip? ‘Charge stops = snack breaks + TikTok moments,’ Ms. Wang laughs. 📱🍜
EVs: The New Family Therapy?
‘No phones, just us talking for hours—it felt like a Netflix family drama, but real,’ Ms. Wang told Jiupai News. Meanwhile, solo traveler Ms. Zhao credits China’s expanding EV infrastructure: ‘I felt safer charging at 40% battery than waiting for a taxi!’ 🔋🚨
With Spring Festival travel evolving faster than K-pop trends, one thing’s clear: 2026 is the year EVs became the ride for wanderlust.
