Tips for cheap charging in Bar Harbor

Bar Harbor is the main town next to Acadia National Park, and summer and fall foliage season bring heavy crowds. Chargers in and near town fill up quickly in peak months, so plan to charge early in the morning or overnight where you are staying.

Some inns and hotels on Mount Desert Island offer charging for guests. Ask about it when you book, since it can be the easiest and cheapest way to start each day full.

Climbing Cadillac Mountain and driving the Park Loop Road use more energy than flat driving, though you get some back on the way down. Start the day with a good charge and do not count on finding a fast charger inside the park.

In season, the fare-free Island Explorer shuttle buses run between town and many park sites. Leaving your car plugged in at your lodging and riding the shuttle saves both charging and parking hassles.
