2500 MILES - WE SET A NEW CROSS COUNTRY EV CANNONBALL RECORD: HERE'S THE TIME! (PART 2)

EV Channels Review

This video documents an ambitious EV Cannonball Run, setting a new cross-country record from Orange County, California, to Orange County, Florida, in 46 hours and 46 minutes. The hosts highlight the Hyundai Ioniq 5's capability, particularly its 250kW charging speed, and the effectiveness of Electrify America's 350kW chargers. Despite challenges like traffic in Houston and San Antonio, and the occasional "screen of death" on ABB chargers, the journey proved that long-distance EV travel is feasible and increasingly practical. The review emphasizes the critical balance between speed and charging time, the importance of reliable charging infrastructure, and the need for accurate range prediction. While acknowledging that other EVs might be faster, the Ioniq 5 is praised for its comfort and charging performance, making this record-breaking trip a success and a testament to the evolving EV landscape.
