. At that point, all I could share was some basic driving impressions and why I bought it, but now after several hundred more miles, I can share some more detailed information on how the vehicle actually performs.
But going up the hill eats a lot of range on most EVs, and that would throw our whole trip plan off. Fortunately for us, we found that the EUV consistently exceeds range expectations that I had gathered from using A Better Routeplanner, and the extra hour gave us just enough time to backtrack and get a 70% charge . Had we been up against a hard 5 PM close time, we would have had to turn back and go home, or skip the fudge.
ABRP aside, I’m very impressed that the larger form factor of the EUV over the regular Bolt EV didn’t cause it to lose all that much range. GM did a good job optimizing the aero and not letting the EUV be a baby Hummer EV.One of the cool things about most EVs is that you can use cruise control and L mode, one-pedal, or whatever a manufacturer calls its higher regen setting to maintain a steady speed on steep downhill routes, like you’d find going down a mountain.
