Realize the $42 Roman spent only brought the vehicle to 80%. The vehicle started with 97%, so for the comparison to be fair, Roman should have charged to 97%.
You guys messed up!
The word "free" as used with the electric charging offered at the hotel is inaccurate. It is no more free than your hotel breakfast, it is paid for by the hotel and passed to customers staying there. Nothing is "free".
What tfl really should have done is see who would of gotten to Moab first. Obviously the Sequoia but it would of been interesting to see Roman take the exit to go charge up and see Andre's Sequoia continue down the freeway. Video asked which vehicle is better to road trip in right? Not another mpg VS kw/hr.
By the time its practical to have an EV vehicle for long road trips(infrastructure, etc), they will have raised the electric fill up charge to the equivalent of a gas charge. You watch.
I'm glad Andre was in this video. Roman is a little too swept up in the EV hype and tends to overlook negatives of EV's that Andre points out. For now, plug in hybrids are the way to go if you want to be "eco-friendly" while still retaining usefulness IMO.
TFL is getting TORCHED in these comments! 😂 I challenge TFL to respond to these comments and admit they are wrong.
I can't even fathom , ...in this world of instant gratification, ..sitting in a line waiting an hour for the car in front of me to finish charging, just so I can wait an hour for mine. Not to mention island parking, when that person went into Sams club to shop while their car is charging, and doesn't come back for 2 hours.
Yeah this is going to give us the same end result as the Alaska trip: EV is nice but requires a radical change of driving and planning while the gasser goes where you need it and depending on gas prices might cost more money in the end but also take less time.
Unfortunately there is a MASSIVE issue with this comparison: If you start at 97% charge and you drive a given distance, and then you charge it to 80%, that's not how much energy it took you to drive!!! You're missing the 17% charge (in this case you're missing 39 kW/hr of charge). You paid $42 for 59% so simple math means you'd pay $54 for the actual energy consumed during this test.
I love how all the electric vehicle people talk about how efficient they are but never talk about electricity generation losses or transmission lossed.
So, even with gas prices, still being high, Toyota was actually cheaper or the same during the road trip because they didn’t complete the charge the electric vehicle to capacity.
Actually, batteries aren't more efficient at making power, because they don't make any power, they simple store it. This is what EV promoters don't understand.
You started at 97 and only charged to 80, that's like starting with a full tank and only filling to 3/4. Price difference is alot greater than what you showed.
EV road trips wouldn't be so bad if we always traveled with an ICE chase truck like TFLtruck does. That would make the range and time anxiety much more tolerable lol.
You really don't have to prove anything to me----I DON'T WANT AN ELECTRIC. If you tow you will walk. I TOW.
You pay more to fill up the car, but you pay 50-75% the cost of the EV to start, so after 20 years of driving you'd finally hit the same point. But at that time, you'd need new batteries in the EV and the countless hours required to travel more than 400 miles in a trip!

With virtually every video on RUclips involving an electric vehicle the 'Plan' word is nearly always mentioned. There are a whole bunch of us out there who are potential EV purchasers who simply don't want to sit and plan our journeys around long stops for charging, I don't do that with gasoline. It sounds like we are a good few years from being able to make an unplanned journey of more than a couple of hours in a budget or mainstream EV.
