NAIL BITER RESULT: GM VS TESLA VS SUBARU VS THE WORLD'S TOUGHEST EV RANGE TEST!

EV Channels Review

This video presents a grueling real-world range test of three EVs: the Tesla Model Y Performance, Chevrolet Blazer EV RS AWD, and Subaru Solterra (also badged as Toyota bZ4X). The test involves driving over two mountain passes twice, pushing the vehicles to their limits in cold weather and challenging terrain. The Tesla Model Y Performance, despite its AWD and powerful motor, underperformed its EPA estimate, achieving approximately 25% less range than advertised. The Subaru Solterra, with its smaller battery and lower official range, proved to be the most anxiety-inducing, struggling significantly on the climbs and failing to meet expectations. Conversely, the Chevrolet Blazer EV RS AWD was the surprise overperformer, exceeding its estimated range and impressing the reviewers with its capability. The video also highlights significant issues with public EV charging infrastructure, with multiple stations being non-functional or experiencing extremely slow charging speeds, particularly affecting the Blazer EV and Subaru. The Tesla, however, demonstrated a positive charging experience at a functional station. Ultimately, the Blazer EV is lauded for its impressive range performance and styling, while the Tesla performs as expected, and the Solterra disappoints.
