I RACED 9 EVS IN A GAS CAR OVER 3000 MILES...THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED

EV Channels Review

This video documents a 3,000-mile cross-country race from Seattle to Boston along Interstate 90, pitting nine electric vehicles against a single gasoline-powered Acura TLX Type S, driven by the host. The primary takeaway is the significant advantage the gasoline car held due to the convenience and speed of refueling compared to EV charging infrastructure. The TLX Type S completed the journey in 44 hours and 20 minutes, arriving over 4 hours ahead of the Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD. The host highlights the hassle-free nature of gas refueling, contrasting it with the potential delays and frustrations of EV charging, particularly noting issues with charger availability and speed limitations experienced by some EVs. While the TLX Type S offered comfort and consistent range, the host also points out its limitations, such as a lack of massaging seats and some headroom constraints. The video reveals surprising results, with the Hyundai Ioniq 6 and Porsche Taycan performing notably well, while the Lucid Air, despite its range, suffered a significant delay due to running out of charge and requiring a tow. The overall verdict leans towards the practicality of gasoline cars for long-distance travel in the current infrastructure landscape, though the performance of certain EVs suggests improvements are being made.
