EV road trips in India are no longer impossible, but they still require planning, patience, and backup options. From fast-charging corridors and real-world range to family breaks, charging etiquette, and cost comparisons, here is a practical look at what EV owners should know before driving long distance in India.
EV road trips in India are becoming more realistic, but they are still different from petrol or diesel road trips. The biggest change is that India’s public charging network is expanding, especially around cities, highways, expressways, hotels, food courts, malls, and major intercity corridors. According to India’s Press Information Bureau, 29,151 electric vehicle charging stations were installed across India during the previous five years, including 8,805 fast charging stations and 20,346 slow charging stations. The same update also noted that ₹2,000 crore had been allocated under the PM E-DRIVE Scheme for public EV charging infrastructure. That growth matters because it…

Plan a Lakshadweep trip in 2026 with this family travel guide covering entry permits, Agatti, Bangaram, Kadmat, Kavaratti and Minicoy, best time to visit, flights, ships, island rules, water sports, eco friendly travel tips, and what families should know before visiting India’s tropical island destination.
Lakshadweep is becoming one of India’s most talked about island travel destinations, and 2026 is a strong year for families to research it carefully before booking. The islands are beautiful, but they are not a casual last minute beach trip like driving to Goa or booking a quick hotel near a city airport. Lakshadweep is a protected island territory with entry permit requirements, limited transport, limited accommodation, delicate coral ecosystems, and travel rules that should be checked before every trip. For a family travel plan, the best approach is not to rush into the destination because it looks beautiful online.…

Road-trip food tells a story long before the destination appears. From India’s highway dhabas serving chai, parathas, and local comfort food to America’s diners, rest areas, convenience stores, and fuel-stop meals, both cultures turn a simple break into part of the journey.
A good road trip is never just about the miles. It is about the stops in between: the first cup of tea before sunrise, the snack that keeps everyone happy, the meal that turns a long drive into a family memory, and the place where everyone stretches, refuels, resets, and gets ready for the next part of the journey. In India, that food stop might be a dhaba along a highway, with hot chai, parathas, dal, rotis, rice, regional snacks, and the sounds of travelers coming and going. In the United States, it might be a diner, a truck stop,…

Long drives across India can be beautiful, exciting, and unpredictable. Before you leave, your vehicle should carry more than luggage. A proper safety kit, first-aid supplies, emergency contacts, documents, visibility tools, and repair basics can make a major difference during breakdowns, accidents, heat, night driving, and remote-road emergencies.
A long road trip in India can be one of the best ways to experience the country. From highways and expressways to hill roads, rural routes, coastal drives, city traffic, and remote stretches, every journey has its own charm. But long vehicle travel also requires preparation. Safety should not begin after something goes wrong. It should begin before the vehicle leaves home. The importance of preparation is backed by road safety data. According to the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways’ Road Accidents in India 2023 report, India recorded 4,80,583 road accidents in 2023, resulting in 1,72,890 deaths and 4,62,825…

Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently urged Indians to postpone non-essential foreign travel, avoid foreign weddings, reduce fuel use, and support domestic spending during a period of global economic pressure. Here’s why I believe that message was not just patriotic, but practical.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent appeal to Indian citizens created a lot of discussion, especially around one point: his request that Indians postpone non-essential foreign travel for at least a year. Some people heard it as a restriction. Others saw it as a patriotic suggestion. Based on the facts, it was not a travel ban. It was an appeal for citizens to think carefully about where their money goes during a time of global uncertainty. Speaking in Hyderabad, PM Modi asked citizens to reduce fuel consumption, use public transport and carpooling where possible, increase the use of electric vehicles, revive…
