TESLA VS CCS IN THE RACE TO VEGAS! 5 ELECTRIC CARS PUSH THE CHARGING NETWORKS TO THE MAX - PT. 2

EV Channels Review

This video documents a road trip challenge comparing Tesla Superchargers against public CCS networks, primarily Electrify America, on a journey to Las Vegas. The Porsche Taycan, driven by the hosts, demonstrates impressive charging speeds and range, often leading the pack. While the Taycan's performance is highlighted, the video also showcases the frustrations with CCS network reliability, including chargers being out of service, slow speeds, and app connectivity issues. Despite these challenges, the Taycan consistently achieves high charging rates, peaking at over 200 kW and sometimes exceeding 250 kW, allowing it to maintain a strong position. The hosts express satisfaction with the Taycan's capabilities, emphasizing that effective charging infrastructure is more critical than raw range for road trips. The video concludes with the Taycan arriving in Las Vegas with a comfortable buffer, securing a strong performance against its competitors, though ultimately not winning the overall race.
