The second part of our Bolt EV road trip covers many more miles than the first, as well as a lot more success with Electrify America. 12 successes, to be precise, as the network carries us 2,000+ miles from New York state all the way to Austin (with a little help from ChargePoint =)
Starting off with our recovery plan after the EA site in Herkimer, NY failed entirely, we slowly pick up speed, recover lost time, and make our way through Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, and the vast expanse of Texas. That means we made it all the way from upstate New York to Austin, TX in a little over two days... not bad going for the leading non-Tesla electric car in North America
We've added mile marker stats every 500 miles to cover energy consumption, charging costs, and efficiency of the 2020 #ChevyBoltEV on this trip. There are useful insights into road tripping in a non-Tesla electric car, efficiency at different temperatures, and how the 2020 Bolt's charge profile differs to the 2017 Bolt EV (and why that might change your long-distance fast charging habits).
Things got a bit repetitive and sleepy after Kentucky, with six of the seven charging stops on the final leg to Texas at Walmarts and not much to see in the dark. That's where we skip through quite quickly compared to the first half of the trip, but the stats and stops are all covered nonetheless.
After arrival in Austin, we had a great time at #FullyChargedUSA and you can watch the recap of the event right here: • Fully Charged Live USA... .
