Hey Joann, bit of advice: don't take your Kia EV6 on a trip across US 50 in Nevada.

"Loneliest Road in America"

My wife and I made that trip once, traveling from Carson City to Ely - 320 miles. Once you leave Fallon, there are only 2 towns for the 250 mile remainder, Austin and Eureka.

They tell you to make damn sure your car's tank is full before taking the trek. Trying it with an EV? No thanks.

I like to turn travel into an adventure, to make it exciting, seeking out adverse weather and preferring to sleep in snowy, wintery mountain passes, or getting off onto a remote road like that.

Electric cars just aren’t made for adversity or adventuring, or as a safe car for the wife and kids.

“They tell you to make damn sure your car’s tank is full before taking the trek. Trying it with an EV? No thanks.”

And even if there are charging stations on that route, and even if they’re not broken when you leave, who says they won’t be broken when you arrive to charge up, or that your app has update information?

Try driving the AlCan in an EV. 😏
