End of the Trail! We Finished Route 66’s 2,400 Miles in an EV (Route 66 Recharged Finale, Ep. 8)

We Made It! 2,400 Miles Across Route 66 in an EV!

The journey of a lifetime has reached its final stop! Join us for the epic conclusion of Route 66 Recharged as we tackle the last few miles to reach the iconic "End of the Trail" sign at the Santa Monica Pier.

In this finale, we’re not just finishing the drive - we’re looking back at the 2,400-mile adventure across eight states to celebrate the upcoming 100th birthday of the Mother Road. From the neon lights of Missouri to the vast landscapes of the Texas Panhandle and the steep climbs of Arizona, we’ve seen it all in a Ford Mustang Mach-E.
