The car is quiet… maybe too quiet, and you need to crank up the road tunes for that long road trip you’ve been planning. We decided that you need a little help to get your groove on, so here we have a list of over 50 amazing driving songs for the ultimate EV driving playlist.

Ready to Build Your EV Driving Playlist?

Okay, so you own an electric vehicle, or are thinking of getting one. The car is quiet… maybe too quiet, and you need to crank up the road tunes for that long road trip you’ve been planning. We decided that you need a little help to get your groove on, so here we have a list of over 50 amazing driving songs for the ultimate EV driving playlist.

The first songs that came to mind for an EV are basically anything by the Electric Light Orchestra (ELO). Especially Mr. Blue Sky, Don’t Bring Me Down and Long Black Road. Just kidding (although these would totally work). How about Electric Avenue by Eddy Grant? Kidding again (but it would also totally work).

The following list of road tunes has nothing to do with the fact that your car is electric or a hybrid. In fact, car companies have been using some of these songs in commercials to persuade you to buy their vehicles for years now. You can listen to this playlist on our YouTube channel (opens in a new tab) and, as John Kay of Steppenwolf sang, “Head out on the highway, looking for adventure.”
