Local EV Review Shows Importance Of New Owner Education
A recent news segment from a local Detroit media outlet is sure an interesting watch, but I do have to give readers a warning before watching it. Side effects of watching it may include elevated blood pressure and blood shooting out of the eyes. But, if you’re a Tesla Stan, you may instead experience uncontrollable bouts of “I told you so” and Electrify America derangement syndrome. Why? Because a local news personality decided to try driving an F-150 Lightning on a road trip with his family.
When he did get his family loaded up, his frustrations continued. Instead of starting with a full battery at home, he started out with whatever was left after his away-from-home charging session. He then stopped to eat and plugged the car into a Level 2 charging station, where he claims to have only gained 3 miles of range in 1.5 hours. He then stopped for a Level 3 charge between dinner and the destination.
The big problem with ending the discussion there is that we can’t rely on that answer forever. As much as you guys love your Teslas, you also have to understand that the EV industry isn’t healthy if nobody else builds an EV. Monopolies have proven again and again historically to be bad for the consumer. Plus, everybody has different tastes, and not everybody appreciates Tesla’s minimalist interior and avant-garde exterior styling best exemplified by the Cybertruck.
So, clearly, we need the whole industry to step up and get this right. “Just buy a Tesla.” and “They’re gonna use Tesla’s network.” are temporary solutions at best if we’re going to actually tackle transport electrification.Sadly, the issues plaguing this road trip weren’t all infrastructure-related. Even with a Tesla, there are aspects of this review article that still would have gone poorly.
I can’t be sure what the issue is with only adding 3 miles of range at a Level 2 charging station that indicated over 7 kW on tap, but it was either a broken station that was cutting out, or it was a re-estimated range appearing on the “guess-o-meter” after highway driving. The latter is also a matter of education.
