A nonstop cross-country electric vehicle road trip spent nearly a quarter of its time at charging stations.

TFLEV YouTuber Roman Mica and channel partner Nathan Adlen drove from California to Florida in just under 47 hours in a Hyundai Ioniq 5 with all necessary stops coordinated with and conducted during charging times that came to a total of nine hours.

“If we had not taken an electric car,” Mica said, acknowledging likely criticism that would say, “You’d probably have been here eight hours earlier — or nine.”

During the trip, the duo experienced challenges finding charging stations in more rural parts of the country.

“It’s getting old and getting tiring,” Mica said. “We had to drive 12 miles off of I-10 to come up here to Mobile [Alabama’s] Walmart because this is apparently the only fast charger in the area.”

“It’s stressful,” he added. “It’s 24 miles extra we had to drive to get to a Level 3 charger.”

They also admitted the trip was complicated by balancing speed with energy use.

“There’s this interesting mathematical formula you got to figure out,” Mica said. “The faster you go, the more energy you use, the longer you spend charging.”

“The problem, of course, is that when we hit 75 [mph], we keep it, and we pass some vehicles, we’re using more energy so we have to be really frugal with what we’re doing,” Adlen added.

At one point, the duo had to drive nearly 20 mph below the speed limit to conserve energy.

“We seem to be in a charging desert right now. This has about 250 miles,” Mica said of the Ioniq 5’s remaining driving range. “I’d feel much more comfortable if it had 300 miles. All you need is one charger not working or three people charging and you’re stuck there. It’s still not where the gas station world is,” he chuckled.

While they praised the Ioniq 5’s performance and utility, Mica and Adlen suggested they might have made fewer charging stops in a Lucid Air EV with its touted 500-mile range.
