EV Channels Review
This video documents a road trip from Texas to North Carolina in a Tesla Model 3 Performance, focusing on the charging experience and efficiency. The reviewer highlights the car's ability to maintain high speeds (around 90 mph) using Autopilot, even with headwinds, though this impacts efficiency. The journey involved navigating various charging stops, including Superchargers and an Electrify America station. The reviewer notes a positive experience with Electrify America, praising its infrastructure and potential for future expansion, even suggesting it might surpass the Supercharger network in some aspects. A recurring issue with a slow-leaking tire is also mentioned. A significant point of discussion is the inability to achieve the expected high charging speeds (250 kW) at Version 3 Superchargers, with speeds topping out around 200 kW, a decline from previous experiences. Despite this, the trip was completed with sufficient charging stops, demonstrating the viability of long-distance EV travel.
