BOLT EV TO MODEL 3: A QUICK TESLA ROAD TRIP

EV Channels Review

This video offers a practical comparison of a 2018 Tesla Model 3 Long Range against the backdrop of the Bolt EV's CCS network exploration. The reviewer highlights the seamless integration and ease of use of Tesla's Supercharger network, noting its superior trip planning and real-time data compared to third-party solutions for other EVs. The car's Autopilot and driver assistance features are praised for their effectiveness in making driving more relaxing, although the reviewer expresses a preference for a traditional driver's cluster over the minimalist center screen. While the car performed well, the presence of winter tires impacted efficiency, and the reviewer missed the wider field of view from the Bolt EV's rear-view camera. Charging speeds were generally good, reaching up to 220 kW on a V3 Supercharger, though the reviewer notes the rapid drop-off after the initial peak. The overall verdict suggests that despite minor drawbacks like the lack of a driver's cluster and the impact of winter tires, the Model 3 remains the most straightforward option for EV road trips due to its integrated infrastructure.
