NH-66 is a scenic coastal route but narrow in many sections. Heavy vehicles are common. Quality varies.
Very heavy during peak tourist season (October–March) and long weekends. Allow extra time.
FASTag mandatory at all toll plazas. Keep FASTag active to avoid delays.
EV charging infrastructure on NH-66 (Mumbai–Goa) is limited compared to NH-48. Plan carefully.
High range EVs (Hyundai Creta EV, Mahindra XEV 9e) are strongly recommended for this route.
Check charging station availability at Ratnagiri before departure as this section has limited fast chargers.
Goa has growing EV infrastructure in Panaji and major tourist areas.
