[0:02] hey, what's, up, MKBHD, here, so, have, you
[0:05] ever, wondered, how, much, longer, it, would
[0:07] take, to, do, a, road, trip, in, an, electric
[0:08] car, versus, a, gas, car, in, 2021, and, does, it
[0:13] matter, which, type, of, electric, car, you
[0:15] take
[0:16] it's, an, interesting, question, I'm, sure
[0:17] many, of, us, have, wondered, this, and, most
[0:20] reasonable, people, would, probably, stop
[0:21] there, but, not, me, nope, nope, my, team, and, I
[0:24] decided, to, actually, find, the, real, answer
[0:27] by, really, doing, it, and, running, it, like, a
[0:30] sort, of, a, scientific, experiment, so, you
[0:31] know, it's, one, thing, to, go, by, the, numbers
[0:33] on, paper, which, we, all, have, and, the
[0:35] Chargers, on, the, map, which, we, can, all
[0:37] look, at, but, it's, another, thing
[0:39] to, actually, go, do, it, but, we're, just
[0:41] gonna, find, out, we're, gonna, do, this, uh
[0:43] the, hard, way, by, actually, going, on, a
[0:45] massive, road, trip, with
[0:47] gas, cars, and, electric, cars, to, actually
[0:50] put, this, to, the, test, so, it's, it's, a
[0:51] little bit, unscientific, but, we've, got, a
[0:53] set, of, rules, and, we've, got, a, route, we're
[0:55] going, to, take, to, make, it, happen, so
[0:59] here, are, the, cars, first, we, have, Tesla
[1:01] Model, S, plaid, you're, probably, familiar
[1:03] I've, already, done, videos, about, this, car
[1:05] with, the, 21, inch, wheels, on, it, right, here
[1:07] it, has, a, 350, mile, range, on, 100, battery
[1:12] next, to, it, here, we've, got
[1:14] Ford, Mustang, Mach, e, California, Route, 1
[1:16] Edition, has, about, a, 305, mile, range
[1:20] charges, out, Electrify, America, Chargers
[1:22] and, then, last, but, not, least, we, have, a
[1:25] gas, car, control, this, is, what's, going, to
[1:28] make, the, results, of, the, test, I, think
[1:29] pretty, interesting, so, we've, got, an, Audi
[1:31] Q5, here, on, a, full, tank, of, gas, it'll, get
[1:34] about
[1:36] 460, miles, of, range, and, uh, we're, gonna
[1:40] start, them, all, from, the, same, place, at
[1:42] the, same, time, there, happens, to, be, a, spot
[1:43] near, our, studio, with, a, gas, station, a
[1:47] Tesla, Supercharger, and, Electrify, America
[1:48] charger, we're, going, to, leave, with, a, full
[1:50] tank, and, a, full, battery, all, at, the, same
[1:52] time, from, there, we're, going, to, do, a
[1:54] route
[1:55] that, hits, uh, Ithaca, New, York, Lake, Placid
[1:59] New, York, Niagara, Falls, Scranton
[2:01] Pennsylvania, we're, going, to, do, this
[2:03] whole, circle, you've, probably, already
[2:04] seen, a, lot, of, this, on, Twitter, by, the
[2:06] time, this, video, goes, up, but, we've, got
[2:08] members, we, got, the, whole, team, most, of
[2:10] the, team, here, we're, going, to, be, in, these
[2:12] cars, probably, trash, talking, a, little, bit
[2:14] and, turning, into, a, bit, of, a, race, but, to
[2:16] see, exactly, how, much, time, charging, at
[2:19] these, different, infrastructures, adds, to
[2:21] a, road, trip, so
[2:23] mile, one, of, a, thousand, starts, now, so
[2:26] yeah, that's, it, pretty, simple, the, goal
[2:28] just, treat, it, like, a, normal, road, trip
[2:31] you're, obviously, trying, to, go, around, the
[2:32] loop, as, fast, as, possible, but, two, rules
[2:35] one, no, speeding, we, have, a, hard, cap, limit
[2:37] to, our, speed, for, all, the, cars, that's, the
[2:39] same, but, two, uh, just, hit, all, the
[2:41] waypoints, just, get, all, the, pictures, we
[2:42] want, out, of, all, those, different
[2:44] waypoints, until, you, do, the, Thousand
[2:45] Miles, we, added, an, overnight, break, for
[2:47] sanity, so, we, have, a, hotel, in, Niagara
[2:49] Falls, to, break, the, trip, into, two, days
[2:51] but, everyone, wakes, up, on, the, second, day
[2:53] with, the, same, state, of, charge, that, they
[2:55] want, to, sleep, with, and, we'll, add, up, all
[2:57] the, time, Deltas, at, the, end, so, at, this
[2:59] point, you, know, the, route, you, know, the
[3:02] cars, go, ahead, and, guess, how, you, think, it
[3:05] went, go, ahead, and, guess, what, you, think
[3:06] happened, what, order, did, the, cars, come, in
[3:09] and, how, far, apart, did, they, finish, the
[3:12] Thousand, Miles, now, go, ahead, and, tell, you
[3:13] right, off, the, bat, your, guess, about, the
[3:15] order, of, the, cars, the, way, they, finish
[3:17] one, two, three
[3:18] probably, correct, your, guess, about, how
[3:21] far, apart, they, finished
[3:23] probably, wrong, so, we're, putting, together
[3:25] a, whole, video, on, this, road, trip
[3:26] experience, on, the, studio, channel, so, if
[3:28] you, want, all, the, details, and, every
[3:30] single, thing, that, happened, at, each, stop
[3:31] to, each, team, if, you, want, to, go, on, the
[3:33] road, trip, with, us, go, ahead, and, hit, the
[3:35] Subscribe, button, to, the, studio, channel
[3:36] to, see, that, when, it, comes, out, but, this
[3:39] video, is, the, breakdown, of, exactly, what
[3:41] happened, so, the, gas, car, the, gas, car, had
[3:43] the, most, predictable, trip, right, so, they
[3:45] stopped, for, five, minutes, for, a, break, and
[3:47] gas, on, the, way, up, to, Lake, Placid, got
[3:50] there, in, 4, hours, 49, minutes, then, they
[3:53] took, two, short, breaks, on, the, way, to
[3:54] Niagara, Falls, one, was, 20, minutes, for
[3:56] food, and, then, the, other, was, 10, minutes
[3:58] for, gas, and, using, the, bathroom, that, was
[4:01] their, day, one, they, arrived, at, Niagara
[4:03] Falls, at, 11, hours, 8, minutes, so, then, the
[4:06] Tesla, trip, took, off, at, the, same, time
[4:07] right, off, the, bat, it, gets, interesting, I
[4:10] was, driving, and, I, decided, to, be, kind, of
[4:12] bold, and, go, all, the, way, from, the
[4:14] starting, point, to, Lake, Placid, up, those
[4:16] mountains, on, one, charge, without, stopping
[4:19] we, actually, passed, by, the, sign, without
[4:21] stopping, to, take, a, picture, because, our
[4:23] battery, was, so, low, that, we, weren't, sure
[4:25] if, we, were, going, to, make, it, but, we, did
[4:26] make, it, to, the, top, and, there's, a
[4:28] supercharger, up, there, I, had, one, mile
[4:30] remaining, on, the, battery, but, that, was
[4:31] our, first, stop, for, half, an, hour, where, we
[4:33] got, some, snacks, we, got, passed, by, the, gas
[4:36] car, but, then, we, doubled, back, a, bit, to
[4:37] take, a, photo, of, the, sign, and, then, headed
[4:39] over, to, Niagara, Falls, and, we, stopped, two
[4:41] more, times, to, charge, on, the, way, once, for
[4:44] 46, minutes, were, actually, filled, up, the
[4:46] battery, and, another, quick, eight, minute
[4:47] stop, for, safety, before, arriving, at
[4:49] Niagara, Falls, with, about, 70, miles, left
[4:51] on, the, battery, in, almost, exactly, 12
[4:54] hours, then, the, Mustang, Maki, okay, so, they
[4:58] headed, up, towards, Lake, Placid, along, with
[5:00] the, Tesla, again, at, the, same, time, but
[5:02] with, the, smallest, Range, they, had, to, pull
[5:04] off, first, and, the, car, routed, them, to, an
[5:06] evolved, New, York, charger, that, was, out, of
[5:09] order, so, with, 36, miles, on, the, battery
[5:11] they, had, no, choice, but, to, head, the, wrong
[5:14] direction, into, Vermont, to, the, nearest
[5:16] available, charger, there, they, had, to, sit
[5:19] for, almost, two, hours, before, they, left
[5:21] with, enough, battery, and, at, this, point
[5:23] they, had, gone, so, far, out, of, the, way, and
[5:25] they're, so, far, behind, that, they, just
[5:27] decided, they, could, just, skip, Lake, Placid
[5:29] just, to, make, it, to, Niagara, before, the
[5:31] end, of, the, day, so, that's, what, they, did
[5:32] they, skipped, it, and, went, straight, across
[5:34] West, they, hit, one, more, charger, for, 41
[5:36] minutes, which, brought, them, to, near, 80
[5:38] battery, then, at, 9, 30, they, arrived, at
[5:40] another, charger, stop
[5:42] that, was, also, broken, so, they, navigated
[5:44] for, another, half, hour, to, find, another
[5:47] charger, this, turned, out, to, be, a, barely
[5:49] working, trickle, charger, where, it, only
[5:51] added, two, percent, to, their, battery, so
[5:53] they, drove, another, half, hour
[5:54] precariously, to, an, Electrify, America
[5:57] charger, where, they, arrived, at, five
[5:58] percent, left, and, this, one, worked
[6:00] perfectly, for, 46, minutes, which, gave, them
[6:03] enough, juice, to, finally, get, to, Niagara
[6:05] Falls, by, 12, 40, in, the, morning, after, 16
[6:09] hours, and, 40, minutes, on, the, road, that's
[6:12] about, five, hours, behind, the, gas, car, so
[6:15] that, first, leg, taught, us, a, lot, so, we're
[6:18] sitting, about, 650, miles, in, at, this, point
[6:20] the, gas, cars, you, probably, predicted, is
[6:22] in, first, place, the, Tesla, as, you, may, have
[6:24] also, predicted, is, in, second, it's, about
[6:26] half, an, hour, behind, after, this, first, leg
[6:28] and, the, Maki, in, third, is, now, about, five
[6:32] hours, behind, so, I, mean, we've, seen, we've
[6:35] seen, we've, read, the, articles, before, of
[6:36] horror, stories, of, charging, trying, to, do
[6:39] a, road, trip, in, a, Porsche, Thai, can
[6:41] getting, to, a, broken, charger, and, all
[6:42] we've, seen, that, online, in, the, past, but
[6:46] now, that, it's, happening, to, this, team, as
[6:48] we're, doing, it, it's, a, whole, other, thing
[6:49] to, actually, live, through, it, and, actually
[6:52] both, the, the, members, of, that, Maki, team
[6:54] are, EV, drivers, now, in, an, attempt, to, even
[6:56] it, out, a, bit, on, the, second, day, uh, the
[6:59] the, gas, car, in, the, Tesla, wouldn't, really
[7:00] change, much, but, team, mock, e, would, Now
[7:03] operate, under, their, Newfound, knowledge
[7:06] that, the, in-car, navigation, on, the, Ford
[7:09] could, not, be, trusted, so, they, would, be
[7:11] using, their, own, apps, they, would, be
[7:13] essentially, trying, to, only, hit, Electrify
[7:15] America, chargers, for, this, leg, of, the
[7:18] trip, ignore, what, the, car, tells, you to
[7:20] navigate, to, ignore, the, Ford, approved
[7:22] stops, because, that, clearly, didn't, work
[7:24] last, time, they're, just, going, to, do, it, on
[7:26] their, own, more, advanced, way
[7:28] and, that, shocker, went, much, better, so, all
[7:31] cars, took, off, at, the, same, time, again, and
[7:33] the, gas, car, went, straight, to, the, Cornell
[7:35] clock, then, after, that, photo, they, took, a
[7:37] short, 10, minute, gas, stop, and, then, an
[7:40] hour, later, took, another, quick, 10, minute
[7:42] food, break, didn't, even, add, gas, during
[7:43] that, stop, just, stopped, to, eat, then, it
[7:45] went, straight, to, Scranton, for, the, paper
[7:47] building, photo, then, all, the, way, to, the
[7:49] Finish, no, range, concerns, at, all, no
[7:52] problem, this, second, leg, took, them, 7
[7:54] hours, 51, minutes, so, the, Tesla, the, Tesla
[7:57] arrived, at, Niagara, with, pretty, low
[7:58] battery, 70, miles, left, so, we, actually
[8:01] started, off, going, right, to, a, charging
[8:02] stop, at, Cheektowaga, 15, minute, stop, there
[8:05] then, we, drove, to, another, supercharger, at
[8:08] Ithaca, for, 25, more, minutes, of, charging
[8:10] then, from, there, we, got, the, Ithaca, photo
[8:13] and, then, went, all, the, way, down, to
[8:15] Scranton, took, that, photo, and, then, took
[8:18] one, last, charging, and, food, stop, at
[8:20] Bartonsville, which, gave, us, plenty, more
[8:22] than, enough, to, get, home, in, our, total
[8:24] which, was, eight, hours, which, was, pretty
[8:27] impressively, less, than, an, hour, behind
[8:29] the, gas, car, again, then, the, Machi, with
[8:31] their, Newfound, confidence, in, only, using
[8:34] Electrify, America, Chargers, this, time, had
[8:36] a, much, better, time, today, so, they, went, to
[8:38] Waterloo, for, their, first, charge, where
[8:40] the, first, charger, didn't, work, but, the
[8:42] second, one, did, and, they, charged, for, 32
[8:44] minutes, here, then, they, got, to, Ithaca
[8:46] took, their, Cornell, photo, then, they, drove
[8:49] to, Scranton, with, one, brief, coffee, break
[8:51] in, the, middle
[8:52] then, nearby, stopped, at, another, EA
[8:55] charger, where, three, of, the, four, Chargers
[8:57] didn't, work, but, the, last, one, did, so, they
[9:00] charged, there, for, 32, minutes, and, made
[9:02] their, way, back, to, the, studio, just, about
[9:04] half, an, hour, behind, the, Tesla, so, for, a
[9:06] total, of, 8, hours, 49, minutes, so, the, order
[9:10] was, still, the, same, but, the, day, two
[9:12] Deltas, were, a, bit, smaller, so, I'd, say, I
[9:14] learned, a, few, things, from, this, whole
[9:15] Thousand, Mile, Road, Trip, actually, things
[9:17] that, we, we, kind, of, already, knew, but, that
[9:20] are, much, more, crystallized, now, that
[9:22] we've, gone, through, it, now, to, answer, the
[9:23] question, straight, from, the, beginning, how
[9:24] much, time, does, switching, to, Electric
[9:26] actually, add, to, the, road, trip, first, of
[9:29] all, I, want, to, acknowledge, that, there, are
[9:30] plenty, of, different, variables, that, could
[9:32] contribute, to, some, of, the, Deltas, not
[9:35] only, could, I, have, used, a, different, car
[9:36] or, different, wheels, for, a, different
[9:38] range, on, each, of, them, but, there, are, also
[9:40] things, like, different, traffic, different
[9:42] amounts, of, time, taking, photos, at, the
[9:45] waypoints, different, navigation, routes
[9:47] and, habits, and, things, like, that, so, I'm
[9:50] gonna, I'm, just, gonna, give, like, a, plus, or
[9:51] minus, 10, percent
[9:53] Delta, just, on, how, long, these, things, took
[9:55] so, at, the, end, we, got, the, Tesla, added, one
[9:57] hour, 32, minutes
[10:00] per, thousand, miles, of, road, tripping, it's
[10:02] really, not, bad, and, the, Mustang, Maki
[10:04] added, 7, hours, and, 32, minutes, although
[10:07] six, and, a, half, hours, of, that, was, on, the
[10:10] first, day, and, then, it, was, an, hour, and
[10:11] three, minutes, on, day, two, so, I, think, it's
[10:13] safe, to, say, that, if, you, do, a, lot, of, road
[10:15] trips, uh, the, Tesla, Road, Trip, experience
[10:18] is, currently, pretty, far, ahead, of, any
[10:21] other, electric, car, especially, here, where
[10:23] we, did, the, test, in, the, U.S, but, not, for
[10:27] the, reason, you, might, be, thinking, like
[10:29] there's, a, couple, variables, in, here, and
[10:32] part, of, it, is, the, slightly, longer, range
[10:34] of, the, car, sure, and, part, of, it, is, the
[10:37] supercharger, Network, versus, the, other
[10:39] networks, used, by, the, Machi, sure, but, the
[10:43] biggest, thing, that, contributed, to, our
[10:45] results, was, the, accuracy, of, the
[10:47] information, displayed, in, the, car, so, for
[10:50] range, differences, it's, actually
[10:51] interesting, it, seems, like, the, Tesla, goes
[10:53] by, the, max, EPA, estimated, rating, they, can
[10:57] possibly, quote, which, is, mostly, based, on
[10:59] highway, driving, and, there's, even, some
[11:00] other, official, ratings, in, Europe, there's
[11:02] a, wltp, rating, which, has, different, ratios
[11:04] of, City, mixed, in, with, Highway, there's
[11:07] another, called, nedc, but, generally, I've
[11:09] found, that, achieving, Tesla's, quoted
[11:12] range, would, require, pretty, much, perfect
[11:15] conditions, perfect, weather, perfect
[11:17] temperature, outside, perfect, roads
[11:20] perfect, traffic, not, driving, too, fast, you
[11:25] pretty, much, never, get, it, perfect, so, the
[11:26] Plaid, model, less, that, I've, been, driving
[11:28] that, we, use, for, this, test, has, a, full
[11:30] battery, rating, of, 345, miles, on, those
[11:33] Wheels, it's, right, between, the, long, range
[11:36] model, 3, and, Long, Range, model, y, but, I
[11:39] would, never, ever, attempt, to, try, to, reach
[11:43] a, charger, 345, miles, away, because, as
[11:46] you're, driving, you, can, see, the, range
[11:48] dropping, off, of, the, battery, faster, than
[11:50] you're, covering, them, on, the, road, matter
[11:52] of, fact, on, the, first, leg, of, that, trip, we
[11:53] just, did, we, went, from, the, studio, up, to
[11:56] Lake, Placid, that, went, from, 345, miles
[11:59] full, battery, all, the, way, down, to, one
[12:01] mile, left, when, we, pulled, in, 0.3, percent
[12:04] battery
[12:05] and, that, was, only, a, 293, mile, trip, so
[12:10] that's, a, 15, difference, between, the, range
[12:12] you're, quoted, on, paper, with, perfect
[12:14] conditions, and, what, we, actually, got, and
[12:16] I, feel, like, all, Tesla, owners, I, know, have
[12:18] really, started, to, calibrate, for, this
[12:19] like, if, your, car, says, you, have, 40, miles
[12:22] left, you, better, get, to, a, charger, in, the
[12:24] next, 30, miles, or, so, like, that's, just, the
[12:26] way, it, is, especially, in, Winter, or, if
[12:28] it's, particularly, cold, You, know, despite
[12:30] the, new, heat, pump, it, doesn't, take, zero
[12:32] energy, to, get, the, battery, to, the
[12:33] temperature, it, likes, so, that's, just, the
[12:35] Tesla, range, and, efficiency, Factor, now
[12:37] the, Mustang, Mach, e, on, the, other, hand
[12:39] very, very, consistent, with, the, number
[12:42] being, displayed, on, the, dash, and, the
[12:44] range, you, actually, got, it, actually
[12:45] consistently, outperformed, that, number
[12:46] just, a, little, bit, which, leads, me, to
[12:49] believe, Ford, isn't, quoting, the, maximum
[12:52] EPA, rated, range, possible, and, we, found
[12:54] this, to, be, true, of, some, other, electric
[12:55] cars, too, the, Porsche, taikan, is, one, that
[12:58] actually, consistently, way, outperforms
[13:00] its, quoted, range, by, a, pretty, big, margin
[13:02] and, you, might, remember, also, Ford, told, me
[13:04] their, F-150, Lightning, their, quoted, range
[13:07] will, be, with, a, thousand, pounds, of, cargo
[13:09] in, the, trunk, so, it, may, even, go, further
[13:10] when, it's, empty, so, these, are, all
[13:11] different, ways, of, going, about, quoted
[13:13] range, but, I, think, the, general, philosophy
[13:15] you're, seeing, with, the, Fords, and
[13:17] Porsches, of, the, world, is, under, promise
[13:19] over, deliver, just, so, your, customer
[13:21] doesn't, have, to, worry, too, much, about, the
[13:24] range, that, they, say, they're, going, to, get
[13:25] in, the, car, but, here's, the, the, crazy, part
[13:28] of, all, this, is, Tesla, Model, S, plaid, on
[13:31] those, 21s, 345, miles, of, quoted, range, Ford
[13:35] Mustang, Mach, e, California, Route, 1
[13:37] Edition, 305, miles, of, coated, range
[13:40] I, would, expect, those, cars, to, go, about
[13:42] the, same, distance, some, to, think, about, so
[13:45] the, Tesla, may, have, a, bit, more, range
[13:46] sometimes, but, that, clearly, doesn't, make
[13:48] nearly, as, much, of, a, difference, as, the
[13:50] infrastructure, or, the, charging, Network
[13:52] to, fast, charge, and, go, on, road, trips, now
[13:54] if, you, don't, go, on, road, trips, that, much
[13:56] none, of, this, may, really, matter, to, you
[13:58] and, your, ownership, experience, and, that's
[13:59] fine, but, if, you, do, the, Tesla
[14:01] Supercharger, network, is, built, and, owned
[14:04] by, Tesla, and, it's, built, to, the, exact
[14:05] spec, of, their, cars, works, great, with, them
[14:08] and, then, there's, every, other, EV, and, all
[14:10] the, other, public, charging, networks, that
[14:12] kind, of, all, have, somewhat, variable
[14:15] experiences, I, kind, of, think, of, it, a
[14:17] little, bit, like, lightning, versus, USB
[14:20] type, c, so, right, now, today, there, are
[14:22] about, 1100, Tesla, Supercharger, stations
[14:24] in, the, US, and, they're, mostly, along, major
[14:26] roads, either, at, rest, stops, or, in, mall
[14:29] parking, lots, around, food, things, like
[14:31] that, and, then, with, the, mock, e, you, will
[14:33] use, the, fordpass, charging, Network, and, if
[14:36] you, look, on, Ford's, website, for, the, Maki
[14:38] it, says, that, that's, the, large, just
[14:40] public, charging, Network, in, North, America
[14:42] offered, by, a, car, manufacturer, which, is
[14:45] it, feels, like, they're, trying, to, Loop, in
[14:48] a, couple, different, things, there, to, make
[14:49] that, statement, true, they, definitely, want
[14:51] to, be, able, to, say, they've, got, the
[14:52] biggest, network, but, it's, a, public
[14:54] network, too, and, it's, clearly, it's, not
[14:56] built, by, Ford, and, so, the, Ford, pass
[14:58] network, is, looping, in, a, bunch, of
[15:01] different, other, public, charging, networks
[15:04] into, one, it, streamlines, the, payment
[15:06] experience, so, you, only, need, one, forward
[15:08] pass, account, it's, convenient, for, the
[15:09] buyer, but, that, includes, about, 600
[15:13] Electrify, America, super, fast, Chargers
[15:15] some, of, them, up, to, 350, kilowatts, when
[15:17] the, car, supports, it, that's, amazing, but
[15:20] that, also, includes, some, slow, Chargers
[15:24] some, offline, Chargers, some, out, of, order
[15:27] broken, Chargers, and, that's, the
[15:29] difference, and, because, these, Chargers
[15:31] aren't, built, by, Ford, they, aren't, managed
[15:33] directly, by, Ford, there's, a, bit, of, a
[15:36] communication, gap, between, when, one, of
[15:38] them, might, go, down, and, that, info, Nation
[15:40] actually, showing, up, to, the, driver, in, the
[15:43] car, usually, doesn't, know, until, he, gets
[15:46] there, so, the, difference, is, literally
[15:47] when, I, sit, down, to, plan, a, road, trip, in
[15:49] the, Tesla, on, the, screen, I'm, getting, all
[15:52] of, my, information, this, is, what, they've
[15:54] done, so, well, with, their, software, it's
[15:55] telling, me, whether, or, not, I, can, make, it
[15:57] to, my, destination, on, one, charge, if, I
[15:59] can't, it's, going, to, route, me, through
[16:00] superchargers, along, the, way, it, tells, me
[16:02] how, long, I, need, to, charge, at, the
[16:04] supercharger, to, continue, my, trip, and, how
[16:06] much, battery, it'll, leave, me, with, when, I
[16:08] arrive, but, even, better, yet, for, each
[16:10] charger, it, tells, me, how, many, stalls
[16:13] there, are, the, speed, of, the, Chargers, how
[16:15] many, are, out, of, order, and, how, many, are
[16:17] literally, currently, being, occupied, by
[16:19] other, cars, charging, right, now, Ford, is
[16:21] able, to, tell, you, about, as, much, as, they
[16:24] know, but, they, often, don't, know, if, there
[16:26] are, charges, that, are, down, or, broken, or
[16:29] offline, or, something, which, is, what
[16:31] happened, during, our, trip, the, trip, in, the
[16:33] car, navigated, them, to, a, charger, that, was
[16:35] offline, I, think, it, was, for, maintenance
[16:37] it, was, being, updated, or, something, but
[16:39] that, would, have, been, really, really, bad
[16:40] if, they'd, arrived, there, with, like, one
[16:42] mile, of, battery, left, like, I, did, when, I
[16:44] arrived, at, Lake, Placid, knowing, trusting
[16:47] that, the, superchargers, would, be, there
[16:49] and, working, that's, the, difference, I
[16:51] could, really, trust, what, was, being, shown
[16:52] in, the, car, and, when, I, arrived, there, I'd
[16:54] have, charges, available, and, that's, just
[16:56] not, the, case, in, the, Ford, so, I, kind, of
[16:57] felt, like, if, lightning, is, the, Tesla
[17:00] Supercharger, Network, it's, tightly
[17:01] controlled, by, Apple, the, same, way, the
[17:03] Tesla, Supercharger, network, is, tightly
[17:05] controlled, and, you, have, the, vertical
[17:06] integration, and, that, helps, the
[17:08] experience, but, then, on, the, other, side
[17:09] there's, USB, type, c, a, more, open, standard
[17:12] kind, of, like, CCS, which, is, the, charger
[17:14] but, like, there's, some, that, are, faster
[17:16] there, are, some, that, are, slower, and
[17:18] there's, a, whole, mix, in, between, so, it's
[17:21] just, I'm, getting, in, the, weeds, but, that's
[17:22] what, it, reminded, me, of, but, then, last, FAQ
[17:24] I, know, we, were, wondering, what's, the, cost
[17:26] difference, actually, between, these, two
[17:28] trips, electricity, is, typically, cheaper
[17:30] than, gas, after, all, but, how, much, cheaper
[17:31] so, I, wrote, this, down, all, the, cars
[17:33] started, from, roughly, 100, like, we, said
[17:34] leaving, that, initial, stop, the, gas, car
[17:37] spent
[17:38] 84.79, during, their, their, trip, just, on
[17:41] gas, the, Tesla, which, had, free
[17:43] supercharging, credit, but, I, went, back, and
[17:45] calculated, how, much, it, would, have, cost
[17:47] 66.35, and, then, the, Mach, e, same, idea, we
[17:51] had, forward, pass, charging, credit, but, we
[17:53] used, about
[17:55] 61.25, of, that, credit, so, they, all, charge
[17:58] per, kilowatt, it, was, something, around, 30
[18:01] to, 35, cents, per, kilowatt, so, overall
[18:04] take, from, this, what, you, will, you, you
[18:06] might, not, be, someone, who, does, road, trips
[18:07] like, I, said, and, a, big, part, of, the
[18:10] electric, car, owning, experience, is, like
[18:12] starting, every, day, with, 100, battery, in
[18:14] your, garage, that's, a, totally, different
[18:15] part, of, this, but, if, you, do, a, lot, of
[18:17] people, do, frequent, road, trips, maybe, an
[18:19] annual, road, trip, maybe, even, more, than
[18:21] that, then, you, start, to, think, about, this
[18:23] stuff, and, the, situation, is, also
[18:24] constantly, changing, we're, constantly
[18:26] going, to, be, getting, faster, and, faster
[18:28] Chargers, we're, going, to, get, more
[18:29] Chargers, all, over, the, world, we're, also
[18:30] going, to, get, longer, and, longer, ranges, in
[18:33] these, EVs, and, so, I'd, be, curious, if, we
[18:35] did, another, one, of, these, tests, in, a, year
[18:37] or, two, how, it, would, fare, you, know, the
[18:39] 4680, batteries, are, around, the, corner
[18:40] allegedly, for, some, of, these, cars, so
[18:42] we'll, see, but, again, if, you, want, to, see
[18:44] how, this, entire, experience, actually, went
[18:47] if, you, want, to, feel, like, you're, going
[18:48] along, the, road, trip, with, us, Studio
[18:50] Channel, link, below, is, where, you, should
[18:51] go, for, that, but, in, the, meantime, I'm
[18:52] curious, now, that, you've, seen, this, now
[18:54] that, you, know
[18:55] I, want, to, know, what, you, think, your, next
[18:59] car, purchase, will, be, do, you, think, it
[19:01] will, be, a, gas, car, or, an, electric, car
[19:04] we'll, use, the, comment, section, as, like, a
[19:06] polling, if, you, want, to, tell, us, why, let
[19:07] me, know, why, but, if, you, think, your, next
[19:09] car, whenever, that, is, will, be, gas, for
[19:12] electric, all, right, that's, been, it, thanks
[19:15] for, watching, this, experiment, talk, to, you
[19:16] guys, in, the, next, one, peace
