2020 CHEVY BOLT EV ROAD TRIP PT. 4: TX TO VA IN A DAY?

EV Channels Review

This video documents the latter half of a 2020 Chevy Bolt EV road trip from Texas to Virginia. The reviewer highlights the vehicle's consistent efficiency, averaging around 3.4-3.5 miles per kilowatt-hour on flatter terrain, though noting a slight decrease to 3.3 miles per kWh in hilly, colder conditions. Charging predominantly utilized the Electrify America network, with a positive experience also noted at a dealership. A key takeaway is the improved charge port reliability in the 2020 model compared to earlier versions, which previously suffered from issues with heavy cables. The reviewer found the Bolt EV to be a capable road trip companion, effectively saving costs, although acknowledging it doesn't offer autonomous driving. The narrative focuses on the practicalities of long-distance EV travel, including charging logistics and the time management involved when combining charging stops with work or breaks.
