Driving 1000 Miles in 3 Cars: Gas vs Electric!

[00:01] [Music]

[00:02] hey, what's, up, MKBHD, here, so, have, you

[00:05] ever, wondered, how, much, longer, it, would

[00:07] take, to, do, a, road, trip, in, an, electric

[00:08] car, versus, a, gas, car, in, 2021, and, does, it

[00:13] matter, which, type, of, electric, car, you

[00:15] take

[00:16] it's, an, interesting, question, I'm, sure

[00:17] many, of, us, have, wondered, this, and, most

[00:20] reasonable, people, would, probably, stop

[00:21] there, but, not, me, nope, nope, my, team, and, I

[00:24] decided, to, actually, find, the, real, answer

[00:27] by, really, doing, it, and, running, it, like, a

[00:30] sort, of, a, scientific, experiment, so, you

[00:31] know, it's, one, thing, to, go, by, the, numbers

[00:33] on, paper, which, we, all, have, and, the

[00:35] Chargers, on, the, map, which, we, can, all

[00:37] look, at, but, it's, another, thing

[00:39] to, actually, go, do, it, but, we're, just

[00:41] gonna, find, out, we're, gonna, do, this, uh

[00:43] the, hard, way, by, actually, going, on, a

[00:45] massive, road, trip, with

[00:47] gas, cars, and, electric, cars, to, actually

[00:50] put, this, to, the, test, so, it's, it's, a

[00:51] little bit, unscientific, but, we've, got, a

[00:53] set, of, rules, and, we've, got, a, route, we're

[00:55] going, to, take, to, make, it, happen, so

[00:59] here, are, the, cars, first, we, have, Tesla

[01:01] Model, S, plaid, you're, probably, familiar

[01:03] I've, already, done, videos, about, this, car

[01:05] with, the, 21, inch, wheels, on, it, right, here

[01:07] it, has, a, 350, mile, range, on, 100, battery

[01:12] next, to, it, here, we've, got

[01:14] Ford, Mustang, Mach, e, California, Route, 1

[01:16] Edition, has, about, a, 305, mile, range

[01:20] charges, out, Electrify, America, Chargers

[01:22] and, then, last, but, not, least, we, have, a

[01:25] gas, car, control, this, is, what's, going, to

[01:28] make, the, results, of, the, test, I, think

[01:29] pretty, interesting, so, we've, got, an, Audi

[01:31] Q5, here, on, a, full, tank, of, gas, it'll, get

[01:34] about

[01:36] 460, miles, of, range, and, uh, we're, gonna

[01:40] start, them, all, from, the, same, place, at

[01:42] the, same, time, there, happens, to, be, a, spot

[01:43] near, our, studio, with, a, gas, station, a

[01:47] Tesla, Supercharger, and, Electrify, America

[01:48] charger, we're, going, to, leave, with, a, full

[01:50] tank, and, a, full, battery, all, at, the, same

[01:52] time, from, there, we're, going, to, do, a

[01:54] route

[01:55] that, hits, uh, Ithaca, New, York, Lake, Placid

[01:59] New, York, Niagara, Falls, Scranton

[02:01] Pennsylvania, we're, going, to, do, this

[02:03] whole, circle, you've, probably, already

[02:04] seen, a, lot, of, this, on, Twitter, by, the

[02:06] time, this, video, goes, up, but, we've, got

[02:08] members, we, got, the, whole, team, most, of

[02:10] the, team, here, we're, going, to, be, in, these

[02:12] cars, probably, trash, talking, a, little, bit

[02:14] and, turning, into, a, bit, of, a, race, but, to

[02:16] see, exactly, how, much, time, charging, at

[02:19] these, different, infrastructures, adds, to

[02:21] a, road, trip, so

[02:23] mile, one, of, a, thousand, starts, now, so

[02:26] yeah, that's, it, pretty, simple, the, goal

[02:28] just, treat, it, like, a, normal, road, trip

[02:31] you're, obviously, trying, to, go, around, the

[02:32] loop, as, fast, as, possible, but, two, rules

[02:35] one, no, speeding, we, have, a, hard, cap, limit

[02:37] to, our, speed, for, all, the, cars, that's, the

[02:39] same, but, two, uh, just, hit, all, the

[02:41] waypoints, just, get, all, the, pictures, we

[02:42] want, out, of, all, those, different

[02:44] waypoints, until, you, do, the, Thousand

[02:45] Miles, we, added, an, overnight, break, for

[02:47] sanity, so, we, have, a, hotel, in, Niagara

[02:49] Falls, to, break, the, trip, into, two, days

[02:51] but, everyone, wakes, up, on, the, second, day

[02:53] with, the, same, state, of, charge, that, they

[02:55] want, to, sleep, with, and, we'll, add, up, all

[02:57] the, time, Deltas, at, the, end, so, at, this

[02:59] point, you, know, the, route, you, know, the

[03:02] cars, go, ahead, and, guess, how, you, think, it

[03:05] went, go, ahead, and, guess, what, you, think

[03:06] happened, what, order, did, the, cars, come, in

[03:09] and, how, far, apart, did, they, finish, the

[03:12] Thousand, Miles, now, go, ahead, and, tell, you

[03:13] right, off, the, bat, your, guess, about, the

[03:15] order, of, the, cars, the, way, they, finish

[03:17] one, two, three

[03:18] probably, correct, your, guess, about, how

[03:21] far, apart, they, finished

[03:23] probably, wrong, so, we're, putting, together

[03:25] a, whole, video, on, this, road, trip

[03:26] experience, on, the, studio, channel, so, if

[03:28] you, want, all, the, details, and, every

[03:30] single, thing, that, happened, at, each, stop

[03:31] to, each, team, if, you, want, to, go, on, the

[03:33] road, trip, with, us, go, ahead, and, hit, the

[03:35] Subscribe, button, to, the, studio, channel

[03:36] to, see, that, when, it, comes, out, but, this

[03:39] video, is, the, breakdown, of, exactly, what

[03:41] happened, so, the, gas, car, the, gas, car, had

[03:43] the, most, predictable, trip, right, so, they

[03:45] stopped, for, five, minutes, for, a, break, and

[03:47] gas, on, the, way, up, to, Lake, Placid, got

[03:50] there, in, 4, hours, 49, minutes, then, they

[03:53] took, two, short, breaks, on, the, way, to

[03:54] Niagara, Falls, one, was, 20, minutes, for

[03:56] food, and, then, the, other, was, 10, minutes

[03:58] for, gas, and, using, the, bathroom, that, was

[04:01] their, day, one, they, arrived, at, Niagara

[04:03] Falls, at, 11, hours, 8, minutes, so, then, the

[04:06] Tesla, trip, took, off, at, the, same, time

[04:07] right, off, the, bat, it, gets, interesting, I

[04:10] was, driving, and, I, decided, to, be, kind, of

[04:12] bold, and, go, all, the, way, from, the

[04:14] starting, point, to, Lake, Placid, up, those

[04:16] mountains, on, one, charge, without, stopping

[04:19] we, actually, passed, by, the, sign, without

[04:21] stopping, to, take, a, picture, because, our

[04:23] battery, was, so, low, that, we, weren't, sure

[04:25] if, we, were, going, to, make, it, but, we, did

[04:26] make, it, to, the, top, and, there's, a

[04:28] supercharger, up, there, I, had, one, mile

[04:30] remaining, on, the, battery, but, that, was

[04:31] our, first, stop, for, half, an, hour, where, we

[04:33] got, some, snacks, we, got, passed, by, the, gas

[04:36] car, but, then, we, doubled, back, a, bit, to

[04:37] take, a, photo, of, the, sign, and, then, headed

[04:39] over, to, Niagara, Falls, and, we, stopped, two

[04:41] more, times, to, charge, on, the, way, once, for

[04:44] 46, minutes, were, actually, filled, up, the

[04:46] battery, and, another, quick, eight, minute

[04:47] stop, for, safety, before, arriving, at

[04:49] Niagara, Falls, with, about, 70, miles, left

[04:51] on, the, battery, in, almost, exactly, 12

[04:54] hours, then, the, Mustang, Maki, okay, so, they

[04:58] headed, up, towards, Lake, Placid, along, with

[05:00] the, Tesla, again, at, the, same, time, but

[05:02] with, the, smallest, Range, they, had, to, pull

[05:04] off, first, and, the, car, routed, them, to, an

[05:06] evolved, New, York, charger, that, was, out, of

[05:09] order, so, with, 36, miles, on, the, battery

[05:11] they, had, no, choice, but, to, head, the, wrong

[05:14] direction, into, Vermont, to, the, nearest

[05:16] available, charger, there, they, had, to, sit

[05:19] for, almost, two, hours, before, they, left

[05:21] with, enough, battery, and, at, this, point

[05:23] they, had, gone, so, far, out, of, the, way, and

[05:25] they're, so, far, behind, that, they, just

[05:27] decided, they, could, just, skip, Lake, Placid

[05:29] just, to, make, it, to, Niagara, before, the

[05:31] end, of, the, day, so, that's, what, they, did

[05:32] they, skipped, it, and, went, straight, across

[05:34] West, they, hit, one, more, charger, for, 41

[05:36] minutes, which, brought, them, to, near, 80

[05:38] battery, then, at, 9, 30, they, arrived, at

[05:40] another, charger, stop

[05:42] that, was, also, broken, so, they, navigated

[05:44] for, another, half, hour, to, find, another

[05:47] charger, this, turned, out, to, be, a, barely

[05:49] working, trickle, charger, where, it, only

[05:51] added, two, percent, to, their, battery, so

[05:53] they, drove, another, half, hour

[05:54] precariously, to, an, Electrify, America

[05:57] charger, where, they, arrived, at, five

[05:58] percent, left, and, this, one, worked

[06:00] perfectly, for, 46, minutes, which, gave, them

[06:03] enough, juice, to, finally, get, to, Niagara

[06:05] Falls, by, 12, 40, in, the, morning, after, 16

[06:09] hours, and, 40, minutes, on, the, road, that's

[06:12] about, five, hours, behind, the, gas, car, so

[06:15] that, first, leg, taught, us, a, lot, so, we're

[06:18] sitting, about, 650, miles, in, at, this, point

[06:20] the, gas, cars, you, probably, predicted, is

[06:22] in, first, place, the, Tesla, as, you, may, have

[06:24] also, predicted, is, in, second, it's, about

[06:26] half, an, hour, behind, after, this, first, leg

[06:28] and, the, Maki, in, third, is, now, about, five

[06:32] hours, behind, so, I, mean, we've, seen, we've

[06:35] seen, we've, read, the, articles, before, of

[06:36] horror, stories, of, charging, trying, to, do

[06:39] a, road, trip, in, a, Porsche, Thai, can

[06:41] getting, to, a, broken, charger, and, all

[06:42] we've, seen, that, online, in, the, past, but

[06:46] now, that, it's, happening, to, this, team, as

[06:48] we're, doing, it, it's, a, whole, other, thing

[06:49] to, actually, live, through, it, and, actually

[06:52] both, the, the, members, of, that, Maki, team

[06:54] are, EV, drivers, now, in, an, attempt, to, even

[06:56] it, out, a, bit, on, the, second, day, uh, the

[06:59] the, gas, car, in, the, Tesla, wouldn't, really

[07:00] change, much, but, team, mock, e, would, Now

[07:03] operate, under, their, Newfound, knowledge

[07:06] that, the, in-car, navigation, on, the, Ford

[07:09] could, not, be, trusted, so, they, would, be

[07:11] using, their, own, apps, they, would, be

[07:13] essentially, trying, to, only, hit, Electrify

[07:15] America, chargers, for, this, leg, of, the

[07:18] trip, ignore, what, the, car, tells, you to

[07:20] navigate, to, ignore, the, Ford, approved

[07:22] stops, because, that, clearly, didn't, work

[07:24] last, time, they're, just, going, to, do, it, on

[07:26] their, own, more, advanced, way

[07:28] and, that, shocker, went, much, better, so, all

[07:31] cars, took, off, at, the, same, time, again, and

[07:33] the, gas, car, went, straight, to, the, Cornell

[07:35] clock, then, after, that, photo, they, took, a

[07:37] short, 10, minute, gas, stop, and, then, an

[07:40] hour, later, took, another, quick, 10, minute

[07:42] food, break, didn't, even, add, gas, during

[07:43] that, stop, just, stopped, to, eat, then, it

[07:45] went, straight, to, Scranton, for, the, paper

[07:47] building, photo, then, all, the, way, to, the

[07:49] Finish, no, range, concerns, at, all, no

[07:52] problem, this, second, leg, took, them, 7

[07:54] hours, 51, minutes, so, the, Tesla, the, Tesla

[07:57] arrived, at, Niagara, with, pretty, low

[07:58] battery, 70, miles, left, so, we, actually

[08:01] started, off, going, right, to, a, charging

[08:02] stop, at, Cheektowaga, 15, minute, stop, there

[08:05] then, we, drove, to, another, supercharger, at

[08:08] Ithaca, for, 25, more, minutes, of, charging

[08:10] then, from, there, we, got, the, Ithaca, photo

[08:13] and, then, went, all, the, way, down, to

[08:15] Scranton, took, that, photo, and, then, took

[08:18] one, last, charging, and, food, stop, at

[08:20] Bartonsville, which, gave, us, plenty, more

[08:22] than, enough, to, get, home, in, our, total

[08:24] which, was, eight, hours, which, was, pretty

[08:27] impressively, less, than, an, hour, behind

[08:29] the, gas, car, again, then, the, Machi, with

[08:31] their, Newfound, confidence, in, only, using

[08:34] Electrify, America, Chargers, this, time, had

[08:36] a, much, better, time, today, so, they, went, to

[08:38] Waterloo, for, their, first, charge, where

[08:40] the, first, charger, didn't, work, but, the

[08:42] second, one, did, and, they, charged, for, 32

[08:44] minutes, here, then, they, got, to, Ithaca

[08:46] took, their, Cornell, photo, then, they, drove

[08:49] to, Scranton, with, one, brief, coffee, break

[08:51] in, the, middle

[08:52] then, nearby, stopped, at, another, EA

[08:55] charger, where, three, of, the, four, Chargers

[08:57] didn't, work, but, the, last, one, did, so, they

[09:00] charged, there, for, 32, minutes, and, made

[09:02] their, way, back, to, the, studio, just, about

[09:04] half, an, hour, behind, the, Tesla, so, for, a

[09:06] total, of, 8, hours, 49, minutes, so, the, order

[09:10] was, still, the, same, but, the, day, two

[09:12] Deltas, were, a, bit, smaller, so, I'd, say, I

[09:14] learned, a, few, things, from, this, whole

[09:15] Thousand, Mile, Road, Trip, actually, things

[09:17] that, we, we, kind, of, already, knew, but, that

[09:20] are, much, more, crystallized, now, that

[09:22] we've, gone, through, it, now, to, answer, the

[09:23] question, straight, from, the, beginning, how

[09:24] much, time, does, switching, to, Electric

[09:26] actually, add, to, the, road, trip, first, of

[09:29] all, I, want, to, acknowledge, that, there, are

[09:30] plenty, of, different, variables, that, could

[09:32] contribute, to, some, of, the, Deltas, not

[09:35] only, could, I, have, used, a, different, car

[09:36] or, different, wheels, for, a, different

[09:38] range, on, each, of, them, but, there, are, also

[09:40] things, like, different, traffic, different

[09:42] amounts, of, time, taking, photos, at, the

[09:45] waypoints, different, navigation, routes

[09:47] and, habits, and, things, like, that, so, I'm

[09:50] gonna, I'm, just, gonna, give, like, a, plus, or

[09:51] minus, 10, percent

[09:53] Delta, just, on, how, long, these, things, took

[09:55] so, at, the, end, we, got, the, Tesla, added, one

[09:57] 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
