COAST TO COAST & BACK AGAIN IN A BIG EV ON ONE CHARGE

EV Channels Review

This video documents a challenging 210-mile round trip in a Genesis GV70, aiming to complete it on a single charge in sub-zero temperatures. The reviewer, an EV enthusiast, initially expresses skepticism about the difficulty, expecting to easily achieve the required 2.9 miles/kWh. Despite the cold weather impacting efficiency, the reviewer successfully completes the outbound journey to Whitley Bay averaging 3.4 miles/kWh and returning with 63% charge. The reviewer highlights the GV70's luxury features like heated and massage seats, and praises its comfort for long journeys. However, the car's inherent inefficiency as a large, heavy SUV is acknowledged. The reviewer also touches on the benefits of specific EV tires (Michelin Pilot Sport EV) for rolling resistance and grip. Ultimately, the challenge is presented as a fun exercise for brand recognition and content creation rather than a definitive test of EV capability, with the reviewer emphasizing the importance of driving style and tire pressure for efficiency.
