We Spray-Painted Cadillac Ranch! Route 66’s Midpoint in an EV (Route 66 Recharged Ep. 4)

We’ve officially hit the halfway point of our Route 66 Recharged journey, and Day 4 was absolutely packed with emotion, history, and a few surprises! We kicked things off in Oklahoma City and made our way across the Texas panhandle into the neon-soaked streets of Tucumcari, New Mexico.

This episode is all about the people and the legends that keep the Mother Road alive. We had the incredible honor of meeting Harley at the Sand Hill Curiosity Shop—widely believed to be the real-life inspiration for Mater from "Cars." We also spent some time at the National Route 66 Museum, paid our respects at the powerful Vietnam Veterans Memorial replica, and even added The Electric Duo logo at Cadillac Ranch with some spray paint!
