- In this video I take a 2000 mile road trip in a 2021 Chevy Bolt with my dog Major. I made this video to show what road tripping a relatively inexpensive and slow-charging car is like. Maybe it will answer some questions you might have had if you are considering an EV. In the video, I mention needing a Chargepoint account to use their chargers. You may be able to use the charger without an account by using your credit card. Maybe one of you can clarify. Thanks for watching!

2000 miles and I complain to do 200 miles. Respect to you.
This was a super useful video for someone new to EVs. Really appreciate the time and effort you put into this! Thank you!
Gee, he's old...oh, wait, i am too...great content, subscribed, just got euv with supercruise so I might force the wife (nagivator) to do something similar....keep it up!
"It's not the age, it's the miles!"
I don't want to pay for the subscription for the super cruise.
Thanks for documenting your 2,000 mile journey. It pretty much was what I expected it to be. Your attention to detail is much appreciated, as well. I have a 2023 Bolt EUV on order and I can't wait to begin my electric odyssey. If I use it for road trips, I'll know what to expect. It is definitely cheaper than gasoline! Thank you, again, for your travelogue.
I'm looking to order a 2023 Bolt EUV, the salesman was saying that it could take as long as 18 months, but I don't know if he was just trying to get me to buy one they already have. How long are you expecting it to take for you?
@@thursdaythought7201 , My salesperson said 3-4 months. Ordered in June; production started July 26th, so I'm hoping for it sometime in October or November. 18 months seems ridiculous!
I just ordered an EV (factory order only way to avoid stealership markups) and told 2-3 months. EUV may differ.
Well done.TY much for the features and how to use and read hem. Is my 3 rd EV.My first was a 2018 Volt we used as a test into EV land. Local use mostly got me paying 14$ CA every 6 months. Last year of ownership I checked gas usage for 6 months it was 2/3 rds of an Imperial Gallon. The gas engine I found too weak traded for a 2021 Bolt. Now 2 years into it i udated to a 2022 EUV. Quieter on the road, Super cruise sunroof .. ahh it is about features. Again I enjoyed your flic. Ty much.
cheaper then gas yes... lots more time on the road and total stops $200 per night or more.
This is how people who bought gas cars in the early years of the 1900s. There is a learning curve but people are so lazy today. I started with a Nissan Leaf in 2013 and now have two Model Ys and a Model 3. We never worry about road trips. As demonstrated by this excellent video, road trips are doable with a shorter range car and a limited infrastructure. You can't be a lazy person though. Thanks for the video.
I don't know, with a 50kw charging limit, taking a 30min break every 2.5hrs seems pretty lazy to me! lol
Well done, Sir. We took a 3wk trip in my 2020 Bolt from AK to TX from Jul 8- 31 of 2022. We were not in a hurry either so charging time was good to get drinks, food, walk the dog and even for me to take a short nap when needed. Totaled 11K miles with a 1day turnaround. Also, to Bolt's charging speed doesn't tie you to EA. We took advantage of free charging when we could and combined with free DC charging in YT and BC, Canada about 50% of our charging was free.
It’s nice to see more real world examples of using he EA network and the Chevy bolt.
Oh my. You have a flashlight on the dog collar. My AmStaff has Light Obsessive Disorder. I think that would make her lose her mind! 😂
I'm hoping I can afford to purchase an EV for our next family car (wife and two kids). After watching your video, I see it as the trip being an "adventure." We like adventures. I would also organize charging around meal times . Also, it's probably more healthy to get out of the car and walk around a little (sitting for too long periods of time can be unhealthy). Also, it seems significantly cheaper to travel via EV versus gasoline, especially these days. Thanks for taking the time to document your trip!
I'm considering a transition from my hybrid to a Bolt EUV. Most of my daily driving is well within the battery range, but I want to have ability to/know I can travel across the country with the Bolt EUV. You helped me understand the challenges as well as what can be done with an EV. Thank you!
It is great to see a ohio guy like me . I like the bolt. I get tired of people who say you can’t travel in a bolt. Newscoulmb. And plug and play ev do long trips all the time.
That's crazy, brand new stations. It's like losing your luggage. It's inconvenient, but you can still get by..... maybe 🤔
We love in Florida so our ac is on most of the year. It doesnt impact range enough to even worry about it. Heat on the other hand! A full charge in the summer here shows about 310 miles max. 285 or so average and that is with the ac on all the time
Thank you for the information. It gives me a good comparison with my 7 year old Tesla. For reference, I have covered 900 miles in one day. 13 hours driving, 3 hours charging.
Thanks for documenting this huge trip ; great effort
a lot of great information about road tripping in an EV. Thank you so much for all the time it took to create this. Great info !
A very informative video! Thanks for taking the time to share your trip.
Great video. Thanks for promoting the truth that road tripping in a Bolt EV is very calm and essentially boring, the way it should be.
I truly appreciate your efforts in video-documenting this trip. I too ordered a 2023 Bolt LT1 and am *Patiently* waiting for it to be manufactured. I also appreciate that you brought your dog and showed that bit of interaction. Made the video more enjoyable. Great work!
Thank you!
Lots of great info in the video and the comments. Thanks 🙏
Except for the charging speed (I have an i3: slow charger), the Bolt is a great road trip car. The efficiency and battery size are great for the size of the car. Great video.
If this is the future we need longer weekends and longer vacations!
I own a
2022 Bolt EUV with super Cruise and I took it on a trip from Omaha Nebraska all the way to Eugene South Carolina round trip trip. I used a better route planner because they finally introduced a Bluetooth dongle that you can use and it planned out my entire stop in charge locations plus it was nice if I wanted to I could just simply have it transferred‘s plan over Google maps strangely enough would keep me exactly where it planned. He did all the stuff he needed where to stop how long stop there how much you would charge up.
Thank you for the video. Very well done and helped me understand what is involved. I plan on a Chevy Bolt for intown driving only , so home charging at night will be my go to. But really wanted to see what a road trip with a BOLT would be like. Thank you for sharing with us.
Thank you for your service you make me realize if you want to go Electric or not like you said we got time it's no problem because life matters
Thank you for documenting your trip.
Enjoyed your trip very much! I live on a small island but my work could take me close to 200 miles a day. After 3 years with Leafs, I have just purchased my first Bolt and look forward to driving it soon!
Thanks for a very informative video. I was impressed by the efficiency.... Major, your copilot, deserves a lot of credit for adding a dimension of fun to the trip.
Thanks, he's a great companion!
I have a 2022 bolt euv launch edition arriving around mid august cant wait and good job on the video
Thanks for the well documented trip. I’m retired and moving from a Prius to my first EV. At this point, I’m gathering information on different EVs and the challenges of charging during road trips. I really appreciate your reporting style.
Thank you!
Mark, if you have a Prius, you are on the right track. Look at the Honda Clarity, or other plug in hybrids. Between now and the end of year, the rebates and tax incentives have changed. I would buy something this year. (Read the fine print, Korean cars not included). If you go for a BEV, there is a learning curve. Good luck with whatever you choose.
We are the same…have a 14 year old Prius coming up on 300k miles on it, and ready for EV. We are in early 60’s and we are fine with the slower pace and longer charging time, as we typically have to walk/feed our dog, bathroom, eat, and my hubby has to do all the driving so he likes to lay back and take a quick 30-40 min nap anyway when traveling long trips.
Based on the range after charging it seems you have the 60 kwh battery. Hope you've had your battery changed to the 66 kwh version the GM does for free. It's painless. My experience the new battery has better efficiency by the numbers compared to my previous 2017 Bolt. That and the extra range allows better margins of error getting to chargers and fewer stops.
Great video. Nice to see the actual experience of travelling distances that would require some charging stops.
Thianks for the great demonstration of how to road trip with a Bolt.
Great commentary and documentation.
Awesome video with lots of info. I travel with my dog, too! 💕
Love my 2020 Bolt Premier, never go to a gas station but have a full tank every day! With gas prices my gas car is on a trickle charger in the garage waiting for lower gas prices! Also my grocery store has free ChargePoint charging so that is the only time I charge outside and only charge on 120v at home!
You're very frugal without staying at any hotels on that long road trip. Hotels with level 2 charging would give you a night's rest and a full battery but would have taken much longer.
I always use A Better Route Planner to allay my fears. Still new to this.
Your Bolt is very efficient. It's a real bargain.
Well done, get some rest. I’m tired
Thanks for this video! Did a great job showing the route planning and charging activities. I was surprised that it took an hour to charge most times. My experience was with a Leaf which charges faster, but it's only getting 84 miles on a charge, so definitely a pay off for the longer charge!
Very good video. Well done.
A nice information video with some good stuff and funny comments.
Nicely done
Great trip, thanks for sharing!
Chevy/GM does need to solve the charging speed issue. If they could get 100 or 150KW charging speed then I think they would have a very practical vehicle for any road trip.
Very encouraging video! I just bought a 2023 Bolt EUV -- my first EV. It's an interim step until my reservation for the Rivian, Ford Lightning, or Chevy Silverado becomes available. I'm planning a 900 mile trip from NC to NY soon, and your methodology will help me plan that trip. 🙂
good job. good editing and lots of information. you done good!
Thank you!
Great detail! I am getting more and more interested in EV and my biggest questions are the length of charging and range this Little bolt seems to have good range but a low charge rate , however more affordable so I guess a compromise.thanks for taking the time to do this detail trip , your trip must have been made much easier buy your great co pilot 😃
Nice ride, thanks. I’m beginning to like the Chevy Bolt
I enjoy watching my Bolts energy level and how far I need to go. Many times I have turned off the heater and used the heated seat and steering wheel. It becomes a game for me.
Agree, it's fun ! ... Unless you like buying gas, polluting, supporting murderous regimes like the Saudis.
Not a game if you need to get somewhere far fast, or if you have passengers that do not wish to play any games. LOL
Thanks for sharing the real world info for your EV. I'm sure my next car will be electric, but there's still just not enough of a compelling reason to trade my Prius in. It has given me 11 years of faithful service and I'm feeling like I'll probably hang with it until the wheels fall off.
New to EVs (except for an occasional rental car). Purchased a 2022 Bolt EUV Premier about two weeks ago. Haven't taken a road trip yet so 120V Level 1 charging at home has worked fine for us, so far. (Waiting for Chevy's promotional Level 2 charger install, if our breaker box has the capacity.) This was a great travelog-style video to give me a real-life feel for what an EV road trip would be like. Nicely done! I was a little worried about the Bolt's notoriously slow DC fast charging rate, but your video gives me confidence that it's really not that big of a deal -- particularly if you combine charging with other chores (eating, sleeping, walking the dog). Thanks!
This is amazing !! You're awesome.
Thanks for the kind words!
@@rzu7120 my pleasure, I'm trying to get my mom into a bolt and showed her your video so she understands the limits of having an EV and the bolt specifically! It was very helpful! I'm getting an EV as well and like to do road trips and its so helpful to see a normal person do a video like this rather than hyper people being very showy with their trips.
Thank you again !!
Aha! A fine commentary on a road trip in an EV. I previously owned a Leaf, and a Smart EV. I appreciate your attention to detail on this, so we can see what it looks like. Personally, I went with a PHEV after my Leaf became 12 years old. My trips generally cost .09 cents per mile for comparison.
Thanks for this great content
Good video. Good info
Thank you for documenting.
It's all about EV owners adapting to a new way of traveling. I normally do 450 miles one way. It's about planning stops and when you get your coffee, you can charge. By the time you are back, its almost the same time period of having an ICE vehicle.
Major insists on long walks!
there is no way this is true unless you're only driving 50 miles at a time. stopping 10 times for a 450 mile trip is not most peoples idea of a go0d time. the bolt averages way less than 50kw fast charging and takes an hour and 20 minutes to go from 10-80%. that is not a pee break and a cup of coffee time. the ioniq5 charges at 225k and goes 10-80% in 18 minutes. that is the charge speed needed for coffee break level times
@@danielroden9424 Newer Bolts charge 10%-80% in 65min.
@@rzu7120 that is still pitifully slow and not a coffee / pee break time frame. again, if that works for you great but i dont think a lot of people would be happy with that speed unless they take a trip once a year
@@danielroden9424 why on earth would you be driving only 50 miles at a time, on a car with a 250+ mile range???
Thanks for the video. Very helpful.
Great video, just goes to show all the negative people how great these cars are. Love my 2021 bolt.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing! I was wondering what road tripping in a Bolt would be like. I traveled to the Grand Canyon last year and also got hit with rain for a few minutes right out of Amarillo, then got hailed on when driving back home through Kansas after visiting Colorado and driving up Pikes Peak (also fun in an EV). Had to try and hide under a bridge for a few minutes along with a few other cars.
I also liked how you wanted to avoid big cities, something I've also increasingly learned to avoid due to how hard some DC fast chargers are to get to in them, and the fact that they will usually be heavily used during the daytime.
great video! nice and to the point!
I like the way you road trip. I only use the nav to get me where I want to go, but pick my charging stations manually, like u did. Thx for the vid. I got a bunch too on my channel if u r looking for watching fodder
Maybe in the near future; we will be able to just pull in to a charging station ; where a short range vehicle sensor on site will be able to determine/identify the car you drive, then establish a secure connection to the car; and will guide the driver to an appropriate charger, ready to plug in without having to pull up the app from any device.
A short range sensor similar to what they use for the toll roads. The technology is there.
This trip makes me appreciate my Tesla... enter the destination into nav, and it plots the course with Supercharger stops built-in... add to that plug-n-play charging, no messing with apps or cards to pay or initiate charging.
Your dog is so cute
We’ve been driving an EV for almost a year but don’t often make extend road trips. The ones we’ve done have gone pretty smoothly. Like you we often found the car was ready to go before we were. It does require planning out the charging stops which isn’t that difficult. We start with an overall plan using A Better Route Planner and then at each stop recalculate the next stop using the car’s onboard navigation system. Pretty much just like you demonstrated.
BTW 689 miles in a day is way beyond our limit! Nice to have a traveling companion.
Good video, realistic info
Very informative! Thanks!
Makes me appreciate Aptera's supposed 10 miles per kWh 🔋It was interesting to learn how much a head wind affects range.
Awesome video. I just bought a 2020 Bolt. I also here people say you can't road trip in a EV especially a Bolt. That is not true obviously. I wonder how many of those people actually do road trips like this one? Get out and stretch, get some food, hit the restoom. Take a quick nap. I for one can't wait to do a few day road trip.
Your Chevy Bolt offers WiFi for a very nominal monthly service charge. I couldn’t live without the in-care internet. Currently, I have a 2018 Chevy VOLT Premier with onboard WiFi. I am planning on ordering a 2023 Chevy Bolt EUV Premier w/ Supper Cruise. Then a long trip from Ocala Florida to Gilbert AZ
I'm way too cheap to spend the money!
Now 5 or so months later, the efficiency of charging at EA has dramatically been reduced. I made a couple of long road trips this last summer, and had about the same experience as you with the chargers. Not too bad, because at the end of the day, you were able to get a charge and not get stranded.
Today, I wouldn't make that bet until something drastically changes.
Good Video and fun to watch!
Exactly.
Thank you!
Great video...Thank you for doing it.
We have a 2023 EUV on order and hope to see it this fall. Very excited about it.
The slower charging speed is a bit frustrating but I believe it will help to keep the battery healthier over the long term.
It looks like you and Major had a great trip!
Mike 😁 🇨🇦 🍁
That’s the same theory I held about my car plus it helps with the road trips do you have break once in a while
I'm looking to order a 2023 Bolt EUV, the salesman was saying that it could take as long as 18 months, but I don't know if he was just trying to get me to buy one they already have. How long ago did you order it?
@@thursdaythought7201 we placed our order in April of this year and we are now being told with this latest snafu stop sale order that it could be 2023 before we see it...😔
@@michaellippmann4474 well that sounds perfect with the new tax credit. Bigger discount for you!
@@thursdaythought7201 Sorry I got the one that was on the lot so I got lucky it was fully loaded
great video
Great video that answered my questions about a road trip in a Bolt. I get nervous when my 22 gallon gas tank gets down to 1/4 full and that equates to 140 miles of range. I'd suffer range anxiety severely. I want an EV, but it's going to have to have a faster charger on board and a much bigger battery. Thanks for the education!
I'm glad you found it useful!
Major is a totally cute dog. Very Chill. PS own/drive a 2016 Nissan Leaf SV.
Great video! Thank you!
I hope to have an EV soon and am considering a BOLT.
Based on your video and others I have seen, it seems that the dependability of Electrify America stations is one of the main challenges to road tripping in a non-Tesla EV. That is really unfortunate. It sounds like they could use some competition from other operators.
Thanks for sharing. Long distance in a Bolt and you better be patient and have time. It is the one thing GM needs to do is to bump that charging speed a little.
Those Chargepoint chargers you don't need an account. You can use a credit card. Just use the tap to pay on the front of the charger and it will allow you to charge. Pretty simple, a lot like a gas pump in simplicity. I prefer those Chargepoint chargers as they seem to be pretty reliable for me.
This was a very good video, .... and your review of your time, distance, and number of charges to keep the Bolt going was very interesting ..... The one major thing that will bother average users (in my opinion...), will be the FACT that it took over "12 HOURS" of CHARGE time, in total.... Understand that most people are NOT of retirement age, and that TIME is most valuable in one's life (since you cannot ever get that time back ...) LOL ...
Most can easily fuel up a gas vehicle in les that 5 mins !!! So, that is a HUGE difference to MANY folks ! "Thank you" for posting, sir !! 👍
Did two Washington to Massachusetts trips towing a MYPOD, yes you can, use camp grounds for charging, usually have cabins.
Great information
Great vid. Would be helpful to include beginning and ending state of charge along with charge time next time
Thank you for the video. In support of your point I want to share that my wife and I have done several road trips. Our longest was to Austin, Texas from the Sacramento, California area. About 2,000 miles round trip. We did this in 2020 when the Electrify America network was not as large as it is now. Road tripping on an EV, even a slow charging Bolt as our, is definitely doable.
I enjoyed watching this. I like the value proposition of the Chevy Bolt, but the EA and EVgo networks are spotty in places to which my wife travel regularly. While we have a Tesla Model 3 RWD on order, it might be tempting to sell the Tesla and buy a Chevy Bolt once the Tesla Supercharger network adds CCS charging capability over time.
I did a Bolt road trip: Boise-Shreveport last year. Fazoli’s in Amarillo was awesome. Someday I may actually upload my trip video. Haha
I had eaten at the same Fazoli's a month earlier and the chicken salad was great. This time, the cook had loaded it up with chunks of bread sticks instead of chicken. It was terrible. I was very disappointed ☹️.
@@rzu7120 oh sorry.
In my case i was going for pasta & breadsticks, so I was quite happy.
A good video for info on Chevy bolt charging. But man you have to put in work on figuring out your trip. With our car everyone loves to hate . We don't have to think about where we are going. If I have it on my calendar with an address when I get in the car it is on the screen waiting to go. I like that it calculates temperature, humidity, weather, elevation and phone charging for me. Thank you for letting us see how the other do it.
Can't wait until we can use Tesla Chargers next year it'll be game changer unified charging rates across the board at a decent price
Good video, thanks! I used to own a Volt, skipped the Bolt and bought a Tesla Model Y instead. Road tripping in a Tesla is almost effortless, so I've been curious what road trips in things like the Bolt would be like. Glad to see most of your charging was uneventful.
Saving money usually always takes more time and effort. We were weighing a 70k car vs a 30k one for 95% of our driving needs would charge at home….lots to love about the Tesla…but 35k savings is no brainer for us. Elon needs to get the Model2 going.
@@KeithandPamBilyeu Yeah, Teslas are ridiculously expensive.
Nice video. I have also done long trips in my Bolt and have charged at some of the same stations you used. Agree that the Electrify America station at the Walmart in Albuquerque is a bit sketchy. Nice to see Major. I have ordered a VW ID.4 which should charge 2.5 - 5 times as fast (at 350 kW chargers) for future long trips, but still planning a 4000 mile trip in the Bolt until the VW arrives.
I actually had an ID.4 on order before I bought the Bolt, but I waited weeks without it moving to the next stage, so I cancelled the order. I posted a test drive video with the VW, and I really liked it, but have no regrets buying the Bolt.
@@rzu7120 I ordered my ID.4 in November, 2021. Locked on April 13, 2022. Has not progressed since. Not sure if it will arrive this year. I love the Bolt and I intend to keep it if/when the VW shows up. The AWD VW will replace my wife's 2000 Nissan Xterra for use on long trips and in snow and rough dirt roads or if I need to haul a small trailer.
The id 4 chargers at 135 kw with the new update
@@markfitzpatrick6692 Yep. 135 kW vs. 55 kW is a big difference. Even more so is that when you really have to charge up past 80% (as we do here in the Wild West) the ID.4 will still charge at 50 kW past 90% while the Bolt is down to around 11 kW at 90% and 9 kW at 95%.
Great video to watch on July 20th
Thanks for your video.
Nice that your display shows mi/kWh. I had a Volt and it displayed MPGe, which is, as you would expect from a federal govt conceived measurement unit, completely F-ing useless. I cant buy MPGe's; but I can buy gallons and I can buy kWhs so therefore those are meaningful to me.
I want a Hyundai Ioniq 5 but since they are on the lot right behind the Unicorns I might "settle" for a Bolt for a couple of years since so much progress in eCars is happening so fast right now. Not that a Bolt is easy to get, theyre backordered several months as well. Just fyi, the I5 charges (peak of course and requires a top end charger as well) at 350kW so about 6x the Bolt. They estimate 18mins from 10-80%.
Informative video. Getting a Bolt EUV in the Spring. I have a volt now so do some charging at work via ChargePoint. I have heard similar maintenance issues with Electrify America. Just curious. Why didn’t you charge with ChargePoint more often since they seem more reliable and also cheaper?
Early 2024 when one can charge at Tesla superchargers it will be a game changer for long trips. There will be a lot more stations to choose from.
Great video… I think I’d like a car like that.
picked my 2020 premier in the same color up in kanas and drove it back to southern California 2 weeks ago.. my first full ev drove the same route to kingman then headed to Vegas to pickup my other car at the airport and head home to southern California we did the 1800-1900 miles in a 3 day span my car had the 80% max charge software so some legs of the trip were a challenge
Thanks for doing this. I am leaning toward a Chevy Bolt to replace my 20 year old Honda Hybrid. The Honda has been a great car, and I could still drive it, but this next one will be my last car (as I am OLD). We use my husband’s big diesel truck towing a trailer for road trips. So I feel like my little electric car will offset the damage we do to the environment at least a little. If I have to trip alone, I think I will rent a gas car!
I’m replacing my 23 yo Honda Civic with a Bolt.
Be careful! Idk how Chevy Bolt engines are, but Chevy Gas Engines aren't know for being a reliable and long lasting brand, so I don't know about their Electric Motors
@@ThePeacePlant EV use electric motors, which are massively simple compared to ICE engines. I have seen nothing anywhere complaining about anything in regard to the electric motor.
Bolt is a good choice and the best deal. EVs have little to do with the makers gas engine cars, so don't let reputation and rumor deter you.
Excellent video and documentation. This solidified my decision for the Bolt as my next vehicle. Btw, what breed is Major?
Major is known as The Cute Breed.
I live in Kingman. Great report on your trip. I was stuck in flagstaff for 2 hours waiting for the one available charger. What a joke.
In my journeys I look for free DCFC chargers. I can get to Sacramento from here on $12 . State rest stop along the way. Thank you caltrans.
Plugshare shows them all.
Cheers 🍻Bud Zero
Thanks for the tip!
Living in Flagstaff I can use Marxen Cadillac to Dcfc at 25 kw for free
@@robertschenck9902 I seen that on on Plugshare. I was there on a holiday and they were closed so didn’t bother going to that charger.
But if I’m there on a weekday will check it out. 👍
What are DCFC chargers and where are they? Are those the ones at car dealers? Do they have to be open to use them? Thanks for the info!
@@KeithandPamBilyeu DC fast chargers charge cars much faster than either level 1 or level 2 chargers people use to charge at home. DC fast chargers are located at some car dealerships and MAY be available for public use. To find public DC fast chargers use apps like Plugshare, Electrify America and EVgo.
Enjoyed the video. Problem in my area of the country is the lack of chargers! A recent 280 mile trip from our home in northeast Mississippi to the Gulf Coast in our 2020 Bolt had only two auto dealer chargers along the way. On the late afternoon return trip, we stopped and charged to a 195 mile range but BARELY made it the 180 miles to home! Drove 55 using only parking lights, and no climate control in an effort to extend range. 15 miles from home: “Power Reduced” with no available range. When we eased into our neighborhood in the dark, I turned on the headlights; they were a soft pink. That was way too sketchy for us. We have another gasoline vehicle that we’ll use for road trips. Maybe we’ll get more charging stations in the coming years, but I think the EV bubble is gonna burst because of inadequate infrastructure to support them. Areas with bigger cities will be okay, but not the more rural areas.
I think Tesla is opening up their charging stations to Chevy soon, so you will have more stations available at that point. You will just need a converter for the charging port.
Thanks!
