EV TRUCK TOWING TORTURE TESTING, GENESIS DEBUTS MAGMA PERFORMANCE WITH HOT GV60

EV Channels Review

This episode of Batteries Included delves into the demanding world of EV truck towing and Genesis's new performance sub-brand. The hosts highlight the extreme 'Rustic Ring' torture test for electric pickups, revealing significant limitations in regen capabilities for the Cybertruck and challenges with thermal management and brake blending in various models like the Silverado EV and Hummer EV. While the Silverado EV is praised for its range and power when towing, its fleet-only status is a drawback. The Genesis GV60 Magma Performance is introduced as a new high-performance offering, though details are scarce. The discussion also touches on the Polestar 3's impressive but likely overpriced performance capabilities and the ongoing need for better CCS1 adapters, with a critical look at third-party options and anticipation for official Tesla adapters.
