This Guy Bought A Chevy Bolt EV. Next: Driving It 8,000 Miles To The Arctic Ocean
Briefly

Range anxiety is increasingly unfounded as modern EVs generally offer substantial ranges and charging capabilities. One individual's journey in a 2017 Chevrolet Bolt, now with improved range, will test the limits of its capability over 8,000 miles to the Arctic Ocean. Despite the Bolt's limitations, with proper planning and patience, a road trip in an EV can be as enjoyable, if not more so, than traditional gas vehicles. The journey reflects evolving perceptions around EV range needs and wilderness travel potential.
Modern EVs can drive for hours uninterrupted, and then replenish enough battery to go hundreds of miles more in the time it takes you to empty your bladder.
One man is taking his to the Arctic Ocean on an 8,000-mile journey in a 2017 Chevrolet Bolt, which has a range of around 260 miles.
While some rural areas are still undercovered, you can go far, far off the beaten path in an EV.
Quigs seems to be building a camper setup in the back of the little Bolt, proving, too, that you don't need a big rig to car camp.
