General Motors engineers get honest about EV driving after 5,000-mile US roadtrip

Last month, a team of General Motors engineers embarked on an epic adventure: driving over 5,000 miles across the United States in one of their company's electric vehicles. The goal? To gather real-world data and identify areas for improvement in EV technology. And boy, did they get an honest look at what it means to drive long distances in a battery-powered car.

According to the team's findings, one of the most frustrating problems drivers face when road-tripping in an electric vehicle is – you guessed it – range anxiety. Will I make it to my next charging station before running out of juice? The engineers' solution: more and better charging infrastructure. But that's not all they discovered.

During their trip, the team identified several key areas where EV technology can be improved. For example, battery efficiency was a major concern – especially on long hills or in hot weather. They also noticed significant variations in charging speeds, depending on the type of charger used. And let's not forget about the lack of standardization in charging cables and connectors.

So what does this mean for EV drivers? According to the General Motors team, it means a more streamlined and convenient experience is just around the corner. As they put it: '[The root cause of a frustrating problem] has been identified, and we're working hard to address it.'
