ELECTRIC CAR ROAD TRIP VLOG - SUMMIT POINT, WV PART 1

EV Channels Review

This vlog documents a 500-mile round trip to Summit Point Motorsports Park in a 2019 Chevrolet Bolt EV. The reviewer highlights the car's impressive efficiency, averaging 4.4 miles/kWh under mixed driving conditions with varying weather and AC usage. Electrify America chargers were mostly reliable, though one instance required moving to a different station due to a malfunction. A significant point of discussion is a recent software update for the Bolt EV that improves DC fast charging consistency, allowing for faster and more sustained charging speeds compared to previous experiences. The reviewer also touches upon an active recall for the 2019 Bolt EV concerning a fuse relay issue, which was a background concern during the trip. The video concludes with the arrival at the destination, where Level 2 charging is available, and sets up a Part 2 for the return journey, which will include a visit to the GM Ultium battery factory and Lordstown Motors factory.
