One Driver's Report:
"EV road trips can be with the wrong car. I drove the new Toyota bZ4X electric SUV from New York to Washington DC, and back. The nine-hour drive involved three hours of charging. I learned the hard way that sometimes you need to choose between staying warm and maximizing range."
"On the way down to D.C, I pulled into an Electrify America station with a 37% charge, looking to add just enough energy to make it the rest of the way. The Toyota refused to pull more than 35 kW, so just getting to 74% took a full 45 minutes of waiting around — not exactly something you want to do at night when you still have hours of driving ahead of you."
