1. Shopping
Forgot to buy your vacation essentials? Many charging stations, like supermarkets, provide charging points for their customers.
Generally speaking, when you recharge your electric car, you'll have a few minutes or even hours to spare. To occupy this time, if you find a shopping mall or small business nearby, you can go shopping.
2. Watch a film or series
Maybe there's a series or movie you've always wanted to watch, but haven't really followed.
While you're waiting, you can watch your favorite series or film again. If you're equipped with a latest-generation electric car, a central screen is integrated with an Internet connection and numerous functions, as on the Tesla Model Y or Model 3.
You'll be able to access several streaming platforms for series, films and documentaries. A 40-minute episode is more than enough to recharge your electric vehicle.
3. Read a book
After a good run surrounded by screens (dashboard screen, central screen), resting those eyes doesn't hurt. To do this, you can completely disconnect from the screens by reading a book while your vehicle is charging.
4. Going for a walk
If you've stopped off at a small park with charging stations, you can take the opportunity to walk around while your vehicle is charging.
Get some fresh air and stretch your legs at the same time, ideal for recharging your physical batteries!
5. Learn how an electric car works and recharges.
Not everyone is familiar with electric vehicles. While your car is charging, you can take the opportunity to learn more about how it works. You'll know how to maintain it and keep it running longer.
This activity is even more interesting if you're traveling with children. It gives them something to do, and for them it's an opportunity to learn more about the types of vehicles they'll be using in the future.

While recharging your electric car, it's important that you, as the driver, remember to stay hydrated to keep you on the road and resist the heat.
So take some time to buy a bottle of water, find a watering hole or even have a water fight if you're traveling with children.
7. Resting
A basic but very important piece of advice. The heat and the journey can make you feel tired, in which case you should stop.
Stretch your legs and find a shady spot for a quiet nap.
