Another EV Road Trip Goes Badly - This is becoming predictable.
[Auto Wire] A pair of YouTubers, Roman Mica and Nathan Adlen of the channel TFLEV, recently uploaded a video of their experience driving from California to Florida in an EV. The pair decided to use a Hyundai IONIQ 5 to do a Cannonball-style run, although they weren’t breaking speed limits. Instead, they wanted to see how quickly they could make such a journey, clocking in at 46 hours and 46 minutes.Learn why charging electric cars in public can be tricky here. The trip was done to raise money for a children’s charity, but it also helped expose how difficult it is to drive long distances in many parts of the country using an EV. Among the many challenges was rural areas not having many chargers available, fast chargers not working, and balancing speed plus onboard amenities with the need to preserve battery power.
