I can fill up my suburban in Sarnia Ontario and almost make it to Bowling Green KY 150km short of getting there in one tank and I would get there in one day. Good video and has confirmed to me that the world is not ready for electric vehicles. This experience seemed frustrating can you imagine if everyone had one and you had to wait for an available charger. Disaster.
Powerful
Stops don’t have to be like a NASCAR pit crew, but sometimes you WANT them to be or NEED them to be. I want to be the one to make the decision, not the car. Your experience was far from worst-case and still highlighted a number of frustrations with EV road trips. Sorry, but I have zero interest in road tripping any EV, especially when traveling with kids who just want to get where we’re going. And the previous poster who mentioned security concerns at charging stations made a very valid point that you disingenuously blew off. Sorry, you can’t say sitting at a gas station for 5 minutes filling up is anything close to comparable to sitting at a DC charging station for 40+ minutes . It’s just not, and everyone knows it. Granted, it would help if the Lyriq had a better charging curve, which is a common criticism.
I appreciate you and the channel, and I even appreciate a lot of the qualities of EVs. I particularly like how smooth and quiet they are. However, road tripping one seems like a last resort option, despite the spin you seemed to put on your experience.
Touche that sometimes you don’t want to embrace the time to change and your on a tight schedule, however I don’t think there are many occasions in a given period of time where you can drive 505km uninterrupted. Especially if you have kids. They don’t have the attention span or bladder to be able to handle that kind of stint. And if you do have kids, it’s going to take at least 20 min to get them to disembark from the car (car seats) and feed them and go to the bathroom. In that time you have now added another 200+ km to your range. This now equates to 700km, I wouldn’t want to do more then that with kids even if it was a gas vehicle.
As for safety that’s a difficult one to answer without more context, I live in canada and we are not concerned about our safety sitting in our car while it charges. I understand that this may be a concern in other parts of the world and I will take that into consideration when I do the second part.
Nice job, however that’s way to much screwing around to get charged and way to time consuming, what if it’s pouring rain, there is so many negative things regarding EVs, especially in this trip senerio, to bad I really like the style of the lyric, I would buy one if it had a nice V6 engine, it will be years before this makes sense. Thanks for all your efforts.
Honest question I was looking at the Cadillac Lyriq and Blazer Ev should I wait to purchase until the update the chargers equipped in the vehicles, or will they be able to software update or retrofit to the 2024's?
There will be a software update and an ad adaptor that will be available once the integration is complete
I get the idea of testing the range but Taking a lyric to a corvette get together?
I am taking my Corvette down again this year, so I figured if I’m already gonna be going down once with my Corvette I might as well do something different and test myself
Way too much time spent charging. Ya, not for me. Nice car but I’ll keep my ICE car for travel. Perhaps a hybrid for running around the city. Thx.
I would never road trip in a EV unless I had free supercharger miles or if the trip was 500 miles or less and even in that case I better have free or very cheap destination charging otherwise what’s the point.
Man that's a lot of work compared to my Telsa
That does not seem like a smart way to travel yet!
Just don’t think we’re there yet.
I’ll buy an EV when I can consistently get 1000 km per charge. Then at least I know I can get as far as I want in a single day.
Great video and really puts the challenges into perspective.
How often do you drive 1000km in a day straight without taking a break?
A trip with a EV vehicle is no fun, its all about the next charging station.
Putting your home address in this video may not be a good idea.
Good thing I moved this weekend
@@Cars_and_Crosbie Smart man. Love your videos. So glad you got a better mic. :)
What a waste of time, you can keep your Evs young fellow.😎
The more people post on their trips in EVS,the more people realize they are not the way to go as a main vehicle. They are better suited to around town errands.
To much trouble stop at a gas station fill it up and go Comon
Lease because they know if they buy it there is no resale value..simply put these EVS don’t come close to gas for efficient long distance travel. Around town ,ok.
