■Please subscribe to our channel↓↓ https://www.youtube.com/@solterra-lab... [Shocking] Driving 506km on local roads alone through Tohoku during Golden Week in the new Solterra (2026 model)! (May 4th (Day 1)) Since the entire journey was on local roads, there were no highway tolls, and the charging cost was an astonishing "1,622 yen"!? However, upon arriving at the secluded hot spring "Fujishichi Onsen" in Iwate Prefecture, blocked by snow walls and shrouded in rain and thick fog, the electrician couple were struck by an unexpected blind spot that would shock any EV owner: "Completely silent digital key (no signal trouble)"... This is "EV Voyage Log," a completely unbiased, honest review from the perspective of a Solterra owner, covering everything from realistic long-distance cruising performance and actual fuel consumption to the real-world negotiations surrounding 150kW/90kW fast chargers (LEXUS, BMW, Lawson, 7-Eleven). 🕒 Table of Contents (Timestamps) 00:00 3:43 AM. Heading from Niigata to Akita. Starting with 93% battery charge. 01:11 Around 4 AM. Solterra driving on empty roads (even the usually congested bypass). 02:22 The radar trace malfunctions due to rain and darkness, so I turn it off. Also, the Solterra's headlights are easy to see. 03:52 I found a 150kW fast charger for the first time at a 7-Eleven in Niigata (Hasunō Interchange store). 08:42 The navigation system spoke informally at Mahoroba Interchange in Murakami (near Mahoroba Onsen). 11:23 My wife was concerned about my Poisonous Breath. And the Solterra's acceleration was amazing. 14:56 The bomb-shaped rice ball my wife made was incredibly delicious. 15:20 Solterra's acceleration, part two. It played a big role on this trip. 17:12 Arrived at our first destination. We charged at a 90kW Lawson in Akita Daisen. 20:14 My wife complained on the rainy mountain road heading towards Fujishichi Onsen. 23:23 We were suddenly enveloped in thick fog and continued on our way to Fujishichi Onsen. 24:23 My wife couldn't tell if it was my fart or the smell of the hot springs. 34:53 Arrived at Fujishichi Onsen. Average electricity consumption was 4.7 km/kWh Photography is not allowed at Fujishichi Onsen, so I'm introducing Dr. Kobayashi's blog. https://ameblo.jp/kobayashiyasuhiko/e... 40:30 Fujishichi Onsen doesn't have internet access, so I couldn't use the navigation system or the digital key. I'm glad I remembered to bring the physical key. 49:38 As an electronics store, we're busy with air conditioners, and the phone keeps ringing even during Golden Week. 1:39:57 Just before checking into the hotel, I headed for a 150kW fast charger, but when I got there...it was a LEXUS charging station at 120 yen/minute, so I gave up and went to a BMW instead. 1:05:57 To the BMW dealer. 1:07:40 I thought it was 150kW, but it was 90kW. 1:08:49 Arrived at Comfort Hotel Hachinohe. Reflecting on Today's Journey 1:09:55 Visited Shunko Sushi-dokoro Kiraku, a seafood izakaya near the hotel. [Video Summary & Highlights] This video documents the first day of a 2-night, 3-day trip (Day 1) through Tohoku (Niigata - Akita - Iwate - Hachinohe) over 506km using only local roads, undertaken by my wife and me, electricians living in Niigata City, with our 2026 model Solterra as our companion. The video will continue on May 5th and 6th. We departed Niigata at 4:00 AM and enjoyed a comfortable drive on the empty bypass. We've packed this video with practical EV information, including a check of radar tracking behavior in rain and darkness, and a report on the 150kW fast charger we discovered for the first time at a 7-Eleven in Niigata (Hasunō Interchange store). Along the way, we encountered a series of mishaps, including the navigation system suddenly speaking informally to us, and we steadily made our way north, refueling with delicious, extra-large "bomb rice balls" made by my wife. We charged at a Lawson convenience store in Akita Daisen using 90kW charging before heading to our first destination, the high-altitude hot spring resort, Fujishichi Onsen. However, disaster struck after we reached the top of a mountain road shrouded in drizzle and sudden thick fog. The parking lot at Fujishichi Onsen was completely out of range! Our convenient "digital key," which connects to our smartphones, couldn't communicate at all, leaving us completely silent! Fortunately, we had our physical key (smart key) with us, so we avoided any major problems, but we experienced firsthand the "blind spot" of driving an EV to remote hot springs or deep in the mountains where there's no cell phone reception. It was truly chilling. Towards the end of our trip, just before checking into our hotel in Hachinohe, we scrambled to Lexus and BMW dealerships in search of 150kW charging. Despite being busy with my main job as an electrician (answering phone calls for air conditioner repairs and installations, even during Golden Week), I safely arrived at Comfort Hotel ...
