ELECTRIC CAR Roadtrip Coast to Coast - 2012 Coda EV - California Desert - PT 2 - EP 73 

I have been waiting for the next video for 3 months. Please don't disappoint your viewers.

may we suggest..... next video, you made it, drove it off a pier and back to boating..... stay safe, Tim and Cat

You could have walked that distance by now, brother. I really enjoyed your channel with all its quirks. As for being at the top of my subscription list and never seeing a post....I wish you the best! seeya

We’ll I’ve just found you again on your electric car adventure! You must be a gluten for punishment dude! Love your never say die attitude, gives me faith that there still some people out there willing to go on adventures! Rock on dude!

Thank you for taking us on your adventure. Let those who complain take the plane. I hear it's faster than an EV when there's no airport strikes.

You should carry a gas generator for that car

Thumbnail - "It died on me." In other news 'Water is wet' and the 'Sky is blue'. 😂

Must have broke down on the road somewhere. Someone give him a pull.

I suggest you go purchase a gas powered generator. LOL

Hey Trevor! Been following you since the houseboat. Bought a boat and watching your videos gave me some good ideas for stops along the ICW. I pulled into Lady’s Island Marina nearly 3 years ago inspired your adventures. Long story short, I’m now the Director of Operations of LIM. If you ever find yourself in the area again (by boat or otherwise), would love to meet you and maybe do a return video. Either way, enjoy the videos man!

Trev, all kidding aside, you can not drive on our interstate highways at 40 mph. You will get yourself killed. And maybe someone else too. I'm really hoping in the next installment, we find you shipped the car to FL. It's the safe and sane thing to do.

Can't wait for your next update!! I wonder if you were able to make it to Arizona? Since the gap between stations is about 100 miles. Great content though!

This trip started 7 months ago. You must be home by now. But editing video must not be much fun. Did you end up shipping the Coda?

Hi Trevor, if I understand correctly from your trip is that you were able to increase the range from 50 miles to 87? If so, did you manage to increase it further?

Damn 2 days to go 275 miles. When I got my new job I went in one straight shot from where I live in Pennsylvania to Georgia, 820 miles. Only stopped for fuel once half way. Yeah the Prius was probably the right car to buy for the moment. Would love an Aptera when that comes out though.

Are there going to be new Coda episodes? Such an adventure!

Next project you need to buy, restore and fly an airplane!

Well this is both a painful and exciting adventure! You always push the envelope, which is really fun. Well, to watch! I hope the battery continued to "condition" itself with multiple charging cycles, which it seems so far to be doing. What is especially valuable here, I think, is this look at the hairy edge of EV car ownership, charging and driving. Your car and battery are at the edge of its considered lifespan, many batteries seem to be replaced by 10 years, or need to be. And so you answer the questions no one else is, or will... such as what can we get out of these cars when older? When batteries are not perfect anymore? How far can we go? How will the charging network handle fringe vehicles? Not all of us have $60k plus to plunk down on a new EV every three years. You are delving into territory that is not usually covered by anyone, that many would wonder about. But stay safe! I was at the edge of my seat when you were creeping along on the highway, near the end of your range! Scary stuff. EDIT TO ADD: I know you know this, Trevor, but I found it interesting that the EPA only rated this for an 88 mile range... meaning that your 87 mile range that day was probably pretty good! It was cold, too... so. Anyway, the Wikipedia page for the Coda states, "EPA's official range is 88 mi (142 km). Coda Automotive estimated the range to be up to 125 mi (201 km) under favorable operating conditions." Your weather, dipping into the 30's, was probably not considered "favorable". So maybe you are cranking out close to the expected, new car, range on your Coda?

Need to stop at Harbor Freight and get a small generator

This is a great anti-electric car video.

I hope you are ok . I bought a Nissan Leaf for £4000 last year with the idea of using the motor and the battery from the car. I now have a 40ft catamaran that needs completing and will be a solar boat, however it will use EPropulsion Navy 6 outboards so no need for the Nissan Leaf anymore.

Trevor, I'm pretty sure that the honking isn't to cheer you on and the finger they're holding up isn't to encourage you to go one more mile! While I enjoy your videos, your boating adventure was much more fun. You and Jess (sorry for stirring up old ghosts) had the right youtube chemistry to make the channel take off. Maybe you'll get into the groove again with something in the future. We'll be hoping & waiting!

What up my friend??? Where are you these days. Your videos are important, and we need an update...Please!!!

The life of someone that drives and electric car.

Probably wishing you didn't buy it. But, I'm still a fan. Been following you like many others on here for a few years now.

It's kind of hard to see a whole lot when you're filming in the dark

Put some pedals on it or get a gas motor for that pos 🙂

When did you change from boats to cars?

Soooooooo painfully long between vid's.

Hey man why are you dragging your feet really like the videos

Gas or electric, its a rush to run on empty in the middle of nowhere and arriving with little to no power.

You're back?

I cannot wait for you to get back on the water. I it will be abot that is diesel powered. You need to forget about this ev shit. Even when it is working perfect it is only good for short hops, even in a boat.

Buy a small generator lol

Run that thing hard and fast and charge it slow.

'Promo sm' 😳

Single handedly making everyone around you hate EV’s 😂 🫣👍

Buy you a notherone such fine cars
