ELECTRIC CAR ROAD TRIP VLOG - BOWLING GREEN, KENTUCKY

EV Channels Review

This vlog documents a 1000+ mile road trip to Bowling Green, Kentucky in a 2019 Chevrolet Bolt EV. The reviewer highlights the generally positive experience with Electrify America charging infrastructure, noting ease of use and ample availability, though a slow initiation time at one station was a minor inconvenience. The Bolt EV performed well, averaging 3.9-4.1 miles per kilowatt, even with consistent highway speeds and AC usage. However, the reviewer notes that the car's seats became uncomfortable after several hours of driving, and on the final stretch home, the vehicle may have been overheating due to high ambient temperatures (around 90 degrees Fahrenheit), leading to a rapid charge depletion and an unexpected charging stop. The reviewer expresses a desire for a battery temperature gauge in EVs. Despite the minor discomfort and the potential overheating issue, the reviewer remains impressed with the Bolt EV's road trip capability and commitment to driving electric.
