Those Freewire stations that if the battery is empty only give you like 20kW seem like playing Russian roulette on a road trip like this. Yikes.

It sounds like they went into the trip knowing there was a good chance they'd fail at it. I personally would not have taken that chance.

CCS charging is fine, unless your garbage tier YouTube channel needs views

Then people quote these vids as evidence of the CCS problem.

Yup. Also autocompost changed “tier” to “fire”. Oops, I guess

Wrong vehicle for what they wanted to do. Or rather the wrong trip for an airstream and an EV. Obviously they should have planned to stay overnight on a 50A RV circuit.

I feel sorry for their kids with these two clowns purposely making their trip not work just for views. What a terrible plan. When you fail to plan you plan to fail and I would never purposely take my family on some ultra long car ride from hell just to get a couple clicks on my video channel. From everything I've read it just takes a little foresight to avoid a situation like this one.
