    I kind of don't know anyone that does charging based on time, it's always based on distance to the next location. This test seems like it's more a charging speed test when it's time limited, and if the charging speed was faster then it obviously would have gone significantly further. Full disclosure, I have a Mach E Rally and I haven't done any road trips with it yet but I will at some point. It's a blast to drive and the efficiency doesn't really bother me that much, being in Canada one of the reasons I got it was for the traction in the winter (in those situations it's going to be much better than a lot of other EVs).

    Please, perform a Blazer EV towing test. The RWD has the most practical towing capacity of 3,500 lbs which can be as much as a small utility trailer or even a camper trailer (full size or folding camper). In fact that could be a great opportunity to see if a medium sized folding trailer loaded to be 3000 lbs can be towed what kind of distance (as it's low profile would not pull so much drag).

    My 3/4 ton Yukon XL gets over 400 miles per tank of fuel no matter winter or summer. Grades do affect it like any other vehicle. It takes 10-13 minutes to fill it, then, back on the road. It can tow 12,500 pounds. There is no difference between city or highway usage. $72,000.00, a 1 hour charge to get to 1%, and a total range of 214 miles. Solid, undeniable truth that EVs technology just isn't there yet. A total waste of time and money!

    You guys should consider doing a "real world" test. Like going on a trip where you actually need to be somewhere at a certain time. Then you can see what normal people in the US actually face on a daily basis when they pull up to yet another Electrify America station where all the chargers are out of order, or there is 1 open with a line or 10 cars waiting and you've only got 10 miles of range.

The Tesla Model 3 is the equivalent of 40+ mpg gas sedan, while the GMC HUMMER EV is the equivalent of a ~10 mpg gas SUV/truck.
