Two years after I first watched this video and I’m watching it again as I’m closer to buying my first EV. I’ve gained much knowledge from watching Kyle and Bjorn and love the whole electrification issue. It’s all going to improve.

I’m a resident of Kansas and love seeing the spots he charges at. I like the enthusiasm he has on these trips. Plus he is way more brave than I am with my EV so far. He will jump in a car with 15% charge, a destination at 250 miles away, and announce, “ I’ll make it with -78% battery life when I get there. It will be just fine!” Lol

Norway is a tiny little country compared to the US.

These long-road-trip videos in BEVs are invaluable to many of us, Kyle. Thanks for doing them, and please keep doing them as the public-charging infrastructure slowly builds out and becomes more reliable. My experience is owning two PHEVs but am eagerly looking forward to getting my first BEV, though I do a lot of long-distance, cross-country road trips to see family each year. I hope that the charging companies (like EA) and the non-Tesla automakers are watching your videos, also -- because they should be. I like all the charging details that you go through when stopped at a charging station; it's very educational. But I fear that the average person isn't going to be able to navigate the poor public-charging infrastructure as it now stands: it really takes somebody that's really into BEVs to do trips like this, and somebody with patience (and if there are any passengers, those passengers need to be like-minded!). Very few of my family members would put up with all this on a trip with me -- the uncertainty, the unreliability, the having to drive to empty parking lots in dicey areas after dark, etc.

Middle Tennessee has been heavily developed with charging stations for nearly 15 years. Nissan has a massive factory there, and did much of their Leaf testing in the area. Those people who iced out that charging station knew exactly what they were doing. Still, it was nice of you to give them the benefit of the doubt.

He knows you! We had a little chat about your experiences with the Pro on this trip. When we got to the EA station there was a Mach E, a Taycan, and his Pro S. We took the last spot with our VW.

Found this video an excellent and very Frank introduction to road tripping and charger operation. Clearly the trip planning puts charging stations and the next charge a preoccupation. And the wrinkles involved that you’d never think of if you haven’t driven all-electric are put in front of you. Personally, the complications of all electric make me very happy I bought a hybrid.

Finally, as he mentioned, there is no free market answer to better charging networks today so it might not happen in 2-3 years.

I agree with you, charging with a Tesla is so simple. In the case of this road trip from Florida To Colorado, with Tesla you just enter the final destination and the display will show you the full itinerary with all the superchargers where you will have to stop. In comparison the VW interior display map is not directly connected to the Electrify America network. I wish this video was showing how to use the navigation to go from charger to charger. I honestly didn't learn anything new on how to use the VW navigation with this video. A lot of talk but no real explanations on using the navigation. When using the VW ID.4 on a trip I had to use some Apps on my phone like 'A Better Route Planner' or 'Electrify America' to plan my trip. The ID.4 navigation display is not very useful, I felt using an old flip phone, in comparison the Tesla navigation display is like using an iPhone or an iMac. I hope that VW will improve the display, so far I prefer using Google Map on my phone when driving an ID.4.

I just got one of these after driving a Bolt EUV for a year and I can tell you that it's a *totally* different experience! I'm happy I made the upgrade

dedication. great video

Greetings from Nashville, hope you enjoyed our version of a mountain pass coming from Chattanooga (btw Chattanoogans pronounce the t's). We bought a cancelled reservation 1st edition, partly due to your reviews, 7 weeks ago and have driven 6k miles! It was fun to watch you hit some of the same stations! We're about to do another 2k going down to FL and it was nice to see some more of the stations we'll be using.

And YES, the charge speed is based on the GOM. I've had 128kW read anywhere from 6-8 mi/min. And and, I have also had stations randomly peak at 75-90, sometimes dropping down minutes after hitting 127+ (well below 40% SoC). Replugging doesn't seem to resolve so I've taken to just immediately changing stations.

Thanks for this. Our Mach E arrives in August and we are planning a road trip to Miami from Missouri in September.

You have by far the best camera angles ever. It’s almost like going on a road trip with you! Love it

Love the Homewood Suites set up. I stay in one in Holyoke MA when I visit my sister, and she doesn't get why I don't just want to sleep on her sofa bed for free.

Great video. Would really like to see some graphics and figures at the end of the video (and along the way) of how much time is spent charging in relation to how long you’ve driven. Oh, and you’ve gotta keep the windshield clean! You stop at a dozen Walmarts and don’t pick up any windshield cleaner and towels?! Your video is your product. Thanks!

Pretty fun to watch this kind of thing. I worked on the J1772 and J2836 standards.

Wow this was a great video. It was educational to see the issues and what you did to correct them. I’m looking forward to being a future EV owner. ⚡️🚗
