I’m not sure what the Whr/mile was, I really should have kept tabs on that. I’ll make sure to take a look for the next trip as that’s definitely an important metric!
So cool to see so many different EVs...Mach-e, polestar 2, rivian, Ionic 5, bolt and ID.4 at the same station...very exciting times...and leaf and i3...very exciting.
Great trips...FYI...use the 150kw stations if possible since your car can only take 125kw...leave the 350kw for the cars that can accept it...Some drivers can be a$$holes about it.
Ahhh! I hate that I did that! I was totally clueless to the fact that I was at a 350. Thanks for pointing that out. I will pay closer attention next time!
@@OlsonFamilyElectricAdventures No sweat. Wasn't trying to be ass...just trying to educate. Some times you won't have a choice if that's all that's left or other chargers are broken. Just something to be mindful of.
Great video. We hope to buy an ID4 this year., hopefully, if the car carrier doesn't sink or the car train doesn't de-rail or the dealer doesn't accidently sell it to someone else. The web site says it is in transit. I wonder what version of infotainment software it will have. 3.0?
Charging speeds will drop dramatically too when it's cold. Hopefully VW can eventually add pre-conditioning through a software update to help y'all out.
It’s not even close. There’s really no comparison. Tesla’s are wayyyyy better on every metric: first, there are just way more Tesla chargers. They have tens of thousands, while EA I think is still in the hundred, maybe over a thousand by now. Second, Tesla’s are way faster. Most EA’s are 125kw, while the current version of Tesla superchargers are 250+. Third, they just work. I run into broken EA chargers alllllll the time. Meanwhile Tesla’s chargers are (almost) NEVER down. Lastly the Tesla supercharger is just a superior design. Thin and lightweight compared to the big heavy bulky ccs design.
