This video documents a 540-mile road trip from Park City, Utah to Reno, Nevada in a Volkswagen ID. Buzz, detailing the charging stops and overall experience. The hosts encountered four charging stops, which they found to be more than initially anticipated and quite expensive, totaling $91 for the journey. They noted the charging infrastructure in remote areas of Nevada is sparse, necessitating shorter, more frequent charges. Despite the cost and number of stops, the hosts concluded the trip was manageable, arriving with an estimated 70-80 miles of range remaining. They highlighted the scenic beauty of the Bonneville Salt Flats as a worthwhile detour. The review emphasizes the practicalities of EV road-tripping, including charging times, costs, and the need for flexibility, while also expressing a desire for faster charging options and the convenience of free charging at home via solar power.
