    Loved it! My only critique is that this was, at the beginning, billed as a test of family road-trippers. There is no universe in which you can take a family road-tripping in those temperatures and turn off the AC. There would be a mutiny. A race rule should be that you have to maintain a comfortable climate at all times. For hilarity you should also hire some screaming kids in the back seat.

    How come you guys didn’t use all the tricks and use ABRP Premium? You mentioned using a BT LE OBD-II dongle so with that you could have had live SOC to a phone running an actual usable route planner. Now granted the EV9 profile is only at an Alpha level, but surely it would have added a second opinion to the built in trip planner.

    The Kia EV9 lost because Max and Dom didn't seem to use good route planning and they relied too much on the car's nav and range estimate. Unfortunately that's probably the same thing that will happen on the return trip when they'll all be required to use each car's built-in route planning. They should have relied on ABRP more.

If you are going to do legs where mostly no A/C is being used on some legs it shouldn't be a road trip but called something like a Cannonball race.

    ​@@RedvinezYGO Those are two different issues, but if you discount the fact that user error can amplify the number of issues people encounter, you're also coping hard to support your own biases. Yes, objectively, we know that EA's older hardware only has reliability issues with an 80% charger uptime (yes, that's bad); however, their newer hardware has close to a 97% charger uptime (much better). We also know that 9% of charging sessions fail on the first attempt, so user error might be a bigger factor in EA's perceived reliability than some people are willing to acknowledge. If you want to use Out of Spec as a reference, how do you explain that their EVs relying on Electrify America consistently beat or are at least competitive with EVs relying on the Tesla Supercharger network? Do you also hyperfocus on the number of issues Out of Spec runs into on the Superchargers? Either way, you seem to have really gotten away from my original point with my comment: Using the proper activation protocols will definitely improve your EA experience. That's it.

    Very satisfying conclusion to The Race to Vegas! Looking forward to the return trip. Note: If I’m not mistaken, Kyle, you have advocated (correctly, I’d say) that manufacturers and consumers need to recognize the folly of ultra large battery pack. They add unnecessary expense to the vehicle, add unnecessary and unused weight the vehicle has to haul around every single day (and pay for that privilege as well), and rarely if ever come into any practical use for the vast majority of use cases. Full disclosure: I drive a ‘21 Model 3 SR+, the slowest charging, shortest range, smallest battery pack vehicle in Tesla’s line up. I have driven this car across the US, and all over creation along the West. My wife drives a ‘21 VW ID.4 PRO, with similar battery pack size. In other words, we walk the walk and talk the talk. These kinds of vehicles are the future of EVs - affordable, practical, and reliable. They may not have the bleeding edge tech and specs that those ginormous SUVs have - and their price and accessibility to the average family reflect that. Maybe some hero episodes heralding the benefits of these smaller battery packs would be forthcoming.

    Yeah, It was Max's first run to Vegas and he did not have enough time with the car. He was too eager to get off the charger and get on the road. He said they assumed that the Tesla charging method would work for the EV9, but they are totally different animals for sure. The Tesla's you keep them on the bottom of the pack and only charge until 50-60% and then move on to stay in the peak of the charge curve. The Hyundai/Kia's don't work that way. I thought they would pick up on that after the first crawl into a charger, but they did it twice. I think Kyle called it right when he listed how he assumed they would finish and said he thought the EV9 would be in second place. I think that is probably right.

    Sad that the Rivian got neutered on its first stop at the RAN charger. I know its charging curve isn’t the best, but I figured it would come in front of the EV9 but behind the MX. However knowing Kyle was in the EQS makes it the dark horse to win. That stretch to Salina bypassing green river is riskyyyyyy

    What happens when OOS simulates a family trip: Just eating fast food, breaks are only allowed when the car needs energy and gets a quick top up, therefore there is the constant risk of being stranded in the hot dessert without power which wouldn't have a difference from the heat perspective for the kids as the air con won' t be running by 43 C/111 F. And still it gives the best idea of how you should road trip and is serious consumer advice while entertainimg. Keep up the good work.

    Thanks for the data. Good battery software management + charging infrastructure are really more important than the theoretical range & people should be educated about that. The charging grid is improving super fast (number of stalls, high capacity & speed) so what we have here is the worst we'll ever have (& so much better than just 2 years ago). Prices of vehicles & energy are going down fast. EVs are the future AND the present already.

Worse yet Lacey had them take a different route out of the starting location and they got stuck waiting on that train. I agree with you it was a solid win. The second and last stops to charge were good, and Ryan made the right call to sit and wait a little longer at those charging stops. That turned out to be the deciding factor IMHO.

    It’s better to come in low in an E-GMP car. Of course they came in too low. You get full speed charging from you plug in until the battery gets too hot and throttles. They should be able to run full speed and then come in as close to zero as possible. What you charge to depends on what charging options you have.

    Hopefully Hyundai/Kia build the packs a little bigger and higher voltage on the next version. It's weird they lowered the voltage compared to the Ioniq 5/6 and Kia EV6, with that bigger battery you would expect to hit 250 to 270kw charging rather than 200ish kw.

    I think it has less to do with the cars and a lot to do with the strategy they took to get to their destination. If Kia took the Tesla's strategy and just overcharge to take advantage of preconditioning and speed limits, no doubt they could have won. That's the difference from first to last.

    Kyle, next time you do a race like this one, the rules has to be: driving with the AC on at a comfortable setting, you have to make it to every supercharger with a xx% soc. Etc. To be more realistic. If people are driving with kids or pets this race does not help at all. I enjoyed watching the whole video but couldn’t help thinking what new EV drivers would do in situations like the ones you all went through. Looking forward to more content from OSM.
