Also, apparently while the Kia took 7 days to do this trip, the old trip took 59 hours: https://jalopnik.com/they-drove-a-tesla-from-la-to-new-york-in-a-record-58-h-1699782187 https://jalopnik.com/they-drove-a-tesla-from-la-to-new-york-... . The different speed might account for some of the charging difference as well. In any case saving five hours of charging to lose over four days on the road seems like a weird trade-off. EDIT: BTW someone predicted results for different cars using ABRP: https://old.reddit.com/r/electricvehicles/comments/qwnsa1/kia_ev6_takes_fastcharging_record/hl4qvag/ https://old.reddit.com/r/electricvehicles/comments/qwnsa1/ki... All cars on the list should be able to do the trip in under two days. Furthermore, median predicted charging time is seven hours as well. The best results could be under six hours.
