EV Channels Review
This video provides a behind-the-scenes look at the preparation for a cross-country EV pickup truck race from Jacksonville, Florida, to San Diego, California. The primary focus is on the F-150 Lightning, which the reviewer will be driving. The team discusses the various participating vehicles, including a Rivian R1T, a Cybertruck, and a Silverado EV, highlighting potential challenges such as charging infrastructure and vehicle reliability. The F-150 Lightning is praised for its comfort, driver assistance features like BlueCruise, and a smooth ride, described as 'wafty' and 'cushiony.' However, its charging strategy is noted as slower, requiring longer stops, and it lacks some advanced features found in competitors, like the Cybertruck's lack of lane centering. The reviewer expresses confidence in the F-150's ability to perform well, especially with its driver assistance, despite acknowledging the Silverado's potential on paper and the Cybertruck's wildcard status. The video captures the pre-race excitement and logistical preparations, setting the stage for the endurance challenge.
