EV Channels Review
This video concludes the I-90 Surge, a cross-country EV road race, focusing on the final legs and the overall results. The reviewer highlights the significant charging speed and consistency issues faced by the BMW i7, attributing its poor performance to its "brick-like shape" and throttled charging. While acknowledging the car's comfort and refinement, the review emphasizes that its battery and charging capabilities are a major drawback for long-distance efficiency. The video also touches upon the performance of other EVs, noting the Porsche Taycan's impressive charging speed and the Tesla Model 3's struggles with older chargers. The narrative emphasizes the strategic importance of charging stops and the challenges of navigating real-world charging infrastructure, particularly the unreliability of some Electrify America stations. Ultimately, the i7 is positioned at the back of the pack due to these limitations, despite its comfortable ride.
