EV Channels Review

This video documents the initial leg of a cross-country move from Colorado to North Carolina, with the Rivian R1T Dual Motor Max Pack tasked with towing a significant load. The reviewer highlights the ongoing challenges of long-distance EV towing, particularly concerning charging infrastructure accessibility and charge times, despite acknowledging improvements in Rivian's thermal management and charging performance with updated software. While the R1T's towing capability is tested, the primary focus remains on the practicalities and potential frustrations of such a journey. The reviewer expresses skepticism about the overall efficiency and speed compared to combustion alternatives for such a demanding trip, contrasting it with the Audi e-tron's potentially better charging experience. The video also touches upon the vehicle's range predictions and the importance of careful planning, especially with the added aerodynamic drag from the trailer.
