"I just love owning an electric vehicle. I love the little bit of hope in it. The belief that things really can get better. In a world that feels noticeably meaner in recent years, there is something amazing about the hope implicit here. It is a reminder that we, as a species, can solve problems. In a world where everyone is yelling, so many are working quietly, tending the garden. Here is what I did last weekend: I drove my all-electric crossover 303 miles."
"They included a razorback section where I gained 4,600 miles of elevation over just 16 miles with a 55-mph posted limit. It's enough to boil an old gas car's coolant on the way up and boil its brake fluid on the way down. My Chevrolet Blazer EVwhich I leased for less than it would have cost to lease a Honda Civiccareened up to the top silently."
An owner drove an all-electric crossover 303 miles over dirt roads, mountains, and hundreds of highway miles, including a razorback climb gaining 4,600 feet of elevation over 16 miles. The electric crossover climbed silently where a gas car might overheat, then handled 12 miles of dirt and served as a camping platform. Regenerative braking recovered energy during a long descent, returning roughly 4% of battery charge without using friction brakes. The experience highlights EV advantages: quieter operation, no oil changes, lengthy battery warranties, instant daily full charge for commuting, and reduced urban emissions.
