EV Charging Infrastructure in New Mexico

EV charging in New Mexico is limited but improving, with coverage along I-40, I-25, and around Albuquerque and Santa Fe. Taos and other tourist towns have some charging.

Tesla Superchargers cover main corridors but remote areas are challenging.

Planning Your EV RV Trip

New Mexico offers unique camping with stunning landscapes and rich culture. Summer (June-August) brings afternoon monsoons and high temperatures in low elevations. Spring (April-May) and fall (September-October) provide ideal weather. Winter is cold at elevation but pleasant in southern areas. High altitude affects both people and EV batteries - acclimate gradually. Always verify charging before venturing into remote areas. The state has long distances between services. Bring layers for temperature swings.
