About

EV Trip Reports is a travel agent for EVs. You tell us where you're going and what you drive. We plan the trip around charging.

Free guides cover the corridors we publish. A paid plan is built for your car, adapter, memberships, and dates: stops that work for that car, a backup at every stop, and on the detailed plans a place to eat or sleep while you charge. A person reviews every plan before it reaches you. We don't book the hotel, the rental, or the ticket.

Who's behind it

I'm Zak Winnick. I work in EV charging infrastructure, and before that I spent 15 years in hospitality, mostly making sure guests didn't hit surprises. This site is the trip-planning version of that job.

I started it because the charging details sit on a dozen network locators and forum threads. A guide puts the stall count, the kW, and who can use the site in one place, with a source and a check date on every fact.

Independence

No charging network pays for placement or coverage here, and none of them reviews a guide before it goes up. If a stop on a guide is a site I have a business connection to, that stop will say so.

If we add affiliate links for hotels or gear, they will be marked where they appear. They will never decide which charger a guide recommends.

How the work gets done

AI tools do much of the research and upkeep: pulling station data, re-checking network locators, and collecting driver reports. The rules they follow are on the methodology page. Facts get a source and a check date, or they get marked as not yet verified. A person reviews every custom plan before it is sent.

What we don't do

We don't book hotels, rental cars, or tickets. We don't label a charger fast or slow. The page gives kW and stall counts. PlugShare check-ins, X posts, and Reddit threads are driver reports. They are labeled as reports, and they are not treated as confirmed facts. Common questions are on the FAQ.

Corrections

If you were at a stop recently and something doesn't match, we want to know. Use the request form and put the stop and what you saw in the notes. A dedicated corrections address is coming.
