A tapestry of vibrant yellows, oranges and reds transforms the North Georgia Mountains as crisp air sweeps into the region. Leaf watchers, along with apple and pumpkin pickers can reach picturesque landscapes within a 90-minute drive north of the Atlanta Perimeter.
What if that day trip is in an electric car? Can drivers from the metro area explore the scenic byways to enjoy stunning fall scenery and memorable autumn activities without depleting the battery inside the Chattahoochee National Forest?
Absolutely. A typical new electric vehicle offers up to a 250-mile range. You can leave Decatur, for example, in a fully charged electric car and easily complete a round trip to enjoy the spectacular views at Amicalola Falls State Park, near Dahlonega. Even with stops for seasonal decorations, hayrides, and photo sessions at Fausett Farms Sunflowers and Burt’s Pumpkin Farm outside of Dawsonville, you’ll reach home with battery power to spare.
