This list could also be called: 8 cars that are 2-3 times more expensive than a Chevy Bolt EV.

You're right! That's one of the key reasons we drive a Chevy Bolt!

Wow great list. But I feel like you left off a very good car and it's at a good price. I just traded my Bolt in for an ID.4. thanks for the list and I hope you are able to get the rivian.

Look fwd to seeing the Rivian. At camp grounds in USA I think you'll have some great charging options with the 30 and 50 amp @ 220volts. Likely be able to charge Rivian easily overnight. Max we have at caravan parks is 15 amp @ 240v

You're right. We should be able to a full charge overnight in American RV parks. I didn't realize you don't get as much juice. More reason for some solar panels on your rig! :)

You are exactly right. The next cheapest is about $12k more expensive now.

Great list, but the Ioniq (and likely EV6) are even faster charging than you note. I’ve seen Ioniqs too 220 kW at EA 350 kW chargers in person and hit 236 kW in a video. The EV6 has the same charging hardware so it should be able to do this too, but its improved aerodynamics will mean I gets more miles per minute. I’m also torn on your comment that it’s not fair to compare the Bolt to the Rivian. Yes, the Rivian is a large truck that can tow more weight, but you’re already towing a camper with your Bolt. Maybe you need to tow more to have a camper that fits more people, or you need to go more miles between charges, but if the Rivian’s increased capabilities will just go to towing more luxuries for the same 2 people around then I think it is fair to compare it to the Bolt which can tow the same 2 people with less luxury far more efficiently. I’m also tempted by vehicles like the Rivian, but I remind myself that I’m already living a life more luxurious than most people currently on earth, and far more luxurious than all of my ancestors and I try to be happy with that.

Great points, Matt! With your update, you can see we've moved the EV6 into the best position in our little database: evs.oursolartrailer.com. That is impressive and incredibly valuable! Thanks for the great reminder about the Rivian.

As a Bolt EUV owner, charging speed has not been an issue since I charge at home 90% of the time. Two overhyped EV qualities: charging speed and range. I understand this video promotes a particular use-case. It would be interesting to know how many of your other viewers match your use case.

@@oursolartrailer I just had a level 2 charger installed under the Chevrolet-QMerit program. I'm not certain how much longer the program will be sponsored in Canada. I'm waiting to find out if I will be reimbursed the entire amount of $1500 CAD. Information on the program would be another video! Good job so far.
