Fast Charger Roulette - 1,500+ Mile Road Trip in a Genesis EV

The DC Fast Charger (DCFC) network for EVs has come a long way for non-​⁠​⁠‪@tesla‬ owners. Charging an EV quickly requires a fast charger and EV capable of charging fast. Reliable? Available? What happened if one is down? Join me for a roadtrip in the 2023 ​⁠​⁠‪@GenesisUSA‬ GV60 Performance, one of the fastest charging cars you can buy, from Washington DC - Ann Arbor MI - Fort Wayne IN - Indianapolis IN - Washington DC, and watch as I travel from charger to charger with the goal of sticking to the ​⁠​⁠‪@electrifyamerica‬ network.
