EV Channels Review

This video takes viewers to the historic starting point of the Cannonball Run in Darien, Connecticut, for a Cars & Coffee event. The host delves into the rich history of the cross-country race, tracing its origins from the 1915 Baker Run to Brock Yates's 1971 attempt and the iconic 1979 event that inspired the movie. The review highlights various record-breaking attempts over the years, with a particular focus on the evolution of the Electric Vehicle (EV) Cannonball Run record. The host expresses intrigue about the EV record, seeing it as a strong indicator of charging infrastructure development. While acknowledging the presence of many gasoline-powered cars at the show, the host notes the absence of EVs, expressing a desire to see more. The current EV record holder is identified as a lowered Model S, which set a time of 42 hours and 52 minutes. The host also touches upon recent attempts, including a Lucid Air's struggle to beat the record due to charging network limitations, and a Polestar 1 setting a plug-in hybrid record.
