Sophie's Great American Electric Road Trip

Scientist-comedian Sophie Shrand drives an electric car from Los Angeles to Boston and back on a coast-to-coast, roundtrip journey across the USA. She sets out to answer two questions: can it be done? and can it be FUN? What she finds is so much more. Across 7,000 miles and 25 states, Sophie scopes out spectacular sights, digs into the science and engineering behind electric vehicles, and meets people across the country working to build a brighter tomorrow — from exploring hands-on exhibits at the Museum of Science in Boston, to unpacking the science behind horsepower with cowboys, to talking motorbike engineering with a team of female engineers at Ohio State University. This 8-part series is a fresh take on the iconic American Road Trip, where nostalgic Americana meets the future of how we move. It's a timely, energetic, cross-country celebration of curiosity, ingenuity, and all that we have to discover.
