MOVING ACROSS THE USA TO COLORADO! TESLA MODEL 3, BMW I3, & GIANT U-HAUL ROAD TRIP

EV Channels Review

This video chronicles an ambitious cross-country move from North Carolina to Colorado, featuring a Tesla Model 3 Performance, a BMW i3 with its range extender, and a large U-Haul truck. The primary challenge highlighted is the logistical complexity and range anxiety associated with road-tripping multiple vehicles with vastly different powertrains and refueling methods. The reviewer notes the Tesla's reliability and ease of use, contrasting it with the BMW i3's range limitations and the necessity of frequent, small fuel stops for its range extender, which proved to be a significant hurdle, especially during long stretches with limited gas station availability. The U-Haul, while essential for the move, is depicted as a gas-guzzler with poor efficiency. The video showcases the team's problem-solving skills, particularly the workaround to keep the i3's range extender running while refueling and the challenges of navigating remote areas with closed gas stations. Ultimately, the journey emphasizes the stark differences in long-distance travel experience between EVs and ICE vehicles, even with range-extended EVs.
