GOT RANGE? WATCH THE SLOWEST AND LEAST BREATHTAKING PIKES PEAK RACE OF THE CENTURY!

EV Channels Review

This video pits the Hyundai Nexo against the Tesla Model Y in a unique Pikes Peak challenge focused on energy consumption and regeneration. The reviewer highlights the Nexo's innovative hydrogen fuel cell technology, emphasizing its quick refueling time and the byproduct of distilled water, which is humorously used to make Cup Noodles. However, the Nexo's practicality is questioned due to the scarcity of hydrogen refueling stations, limiting its usability primarily to California. The Model Y, conversely, benefits from Tesla's extensive Supercharger network, offering superior charging convenience. Despite a severe hailstorm impacting visibility and traction during the descent, the Model Y demonstrates impressive regenerative braking, nearly recouping the energy used on the ascent. Ultimately, the reviewer concludes that while hydrogen technology is impressive, battery-electric vehicles, represented by the Tesla, win in terms of overall practicality and infrastructure, especially for a challenging environment like Pikes Peak.
