# Driving 1000 Miles in 3 Cars: Gas vs Electric!

## Summary

MKBHD and his team tested how much longer a 1,000-mile road trip takes in an electric car versus a gas car. They drove a Tesla Model S Plaid, a Ford Mustang Mach-E, and an Audi Q5 (gas control) on the same route, following strict rules but with real-world charging variables. The results show a huge gap between the ease of Tesla's Supercharger network and the reliability of third-party chargers.

### Key Points

- **Road Trip Experiment Setup** [0:02] — The trip used a Tesla Model S Plaid (350-mile range), Ford Mustang Mach-E (305-mile range), and Audi Q5 (460-mile range). All cars started at the same time from a single location with a gas station, Tesla Supercharger, and Electrify America charger nearby. The route: Ithaca, Lake Placid, Niagara Falls, and Scranton, with an overnight break at Niagara Falls.
- **Gas Car (Audi Q5) Performance** [3:43] — The gas car was the most predictable. It stopped for 5 minutes (gas + break) on the way to Lake Placid, arriving in 4h49m. To Niagara Falls it had a 20-minute food break and a 10-minute gas/bathroom stop, reaching Niagara in 11h8m total on day one.
- **Tesla Model S Plaid – Bold Driving** [4:07] — The Tesla driver (MKBHD) attempted to drive the entire first leg (studio to Lake Placid) on one charge without stopping. He arrived with only 1 mile remaining on the battery after a 293-mile trip (345-mile rated range – a 15% discrepancy). Charging stops included: 30 minutes (first), 46 minutes, and 8 minutes, totaling about 12 hours to Niagara on day one.
- **Ford Mustang Mach-E – Charging Nightmare** [4:57] — The Mach-E had to pull off first due to its smaller range. The car's navigation routed them to a broken charger in New York, forcing a wrong-direction detour into Vermont. They waited nearly 2 hours there, then faced another broken charger later, a trickle charger that only added 2%, and finally an Electrify America charger that worked. They arrived at Niagara at 12:40 AM after 16 hours 40 minutes – about 5 hours behind the gas car.
- **Day Two – Mustang Mach-E Improves** [6:58] — On day two, the Mach-E team ignored the car’s navigation and used their own apps to target only Electrify America chargers. This strategy worked far better: they stopped at Waterloo (32 min) and Scranton area (32 min) and finished the second leg in 8h49m – only about 33 minutes behind the Tesla.
- **Final Time Differences** [9:55] — Total added time per 1,000 miles vs. gas car: Tesla added 1 hour 32 minutes; Mustang Mach-E added 7 hours 32 minutes (6h30m of that on day one, 1h03m on day two).
- **Tesla vs Ford Range Philosophy** [12:35] — Tesla quotes its maximum EPA rating (345 miles), but real-world conditions rarely achieve it. The Ford consistently delivers slightly more range than its quoted 305 miles – an 'under-promise, over-deliver' strategy. This makes the Ford's real-world range comparable to the Tesla's despite the lower rating.
- **Infrastructure is the Real Difference** [13:52] — The biggest factor was not range but charging network reliability and software. Tesla’s Supercharger network (1,100 stations in the US) is owned and maintained by Tesla, with real-time status (stalls, speed, occupancy, availability). Ford’s network (FordPass) aggregates third-party chargers, many of which are slow, broken, or offline, and the car does not know about issues until the driver arrives.
- **Cost Comparison** [16:21] — Total fuel/charging cost for the 1,000-mile trip: Gas car $84.79; Tesla $66.35 (if no free credits); Mustang Mach-E $61.25 (using free FordPass credit). Electricity was cheaper but not dramatically.
- **Tesla Supercharger vs CCS Analogy** [17:22] — MKBHD analogizes Tesla’s network to Apple’s Lightning (closed, controlled, reliable) and CCS-based networks to USB-C (open standard but variable quality and reliability).

### Conclusion

For frequent road trippers, Tesla’s integrated software and reliable Supercharger network make the EV experience dramatically better than any other current EV. The Mustang Mach-E’s charging reliability and navigation accuracy are major drawbacks, though the car itself can perform well if the driver uses third-party tools to find working chargers.

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