I'm feeling your pain on this one! Sophia is a trooper for sticking through it, so sorry for you guys and the nightmare experience. Pricing of charging, the time it takes, the likelihood it doesn't work... the chances that this can be made to work for everyone in only a decade from now; almost zero.

It’s crazy how different of an experience you can get just by not having access to the supercharger network. I just completed a 5000 mile road trip to Wisconsin and back in my Model Y with zero charging issues at all. Didn’t matter that I drove through a blizzard with 35 mph winds in near sub zero temperatures, pulling into each charging station with 5% or less each time for the fastest charging. I was able to be 100% confident in the supercharger network, and in the ability of my Tesla to charge. An average stop for me during this trip was 15 minutes, and it cost me half of what a gas car would’ve cost. Other EV manufacturers are just so far behind on so many fronts it’s crazy.

Thank you for sharing this experience with people. I owned an EV for 2 years (in a very EV friendly city) and found that over the years the charger eco system actually got worse, not better. A lot of the chargers around my city began to stop working and with more people now own EV's, the chargers that do work are always occupied. I cut my losses and went back to a gas engine.

I love how happy and supportive Sophie seemed through this whole thing, I’m so happy for both of them

Looked at all the EV’s and went with Tesla because of their charging network. Glad you guys are safe!

If i went through anything like what you experienced with an EV I would be putting it up for sale the next day! That was pure 100% b.s.

Shoutout to Sophia for the adorable bubbly attitude. She seems like a real trooper. My ex got grouchy and terrible from a simple hotel issue after a 6 hour car trip. Her attitude made the whole issue worse for everyone.

I don't think Sophie stopped smiling the entire time. Way to go!

You're not the only one who's had issues with the Hummer EV. Watch TFL's sad saga and all the issues they've had with it. I think it had to be towed twice and the 4WD system stopped working in Moab.

I have found Tesla Superchargers consistently reliable. I might encounter a single stall that did not work, but I could just pull over to the next one, and it worked fine. However, third party charging stations have been extremely hit-and-miss, with almost a 50% failure rate. I am really thinking Tesla's opening of their Supercharger network to other EVs will be what it takes for electric cars in general to go mainstream.

As a Tesla owner, this video made me appreciate the supercharger network so much more. It's nuts that other manufactures are spending all this time building EVs but not the chargers in order to support them.

A 22 minute video!? Props to you Strad for getting the good content man. 👏

This was the best vlog of yours I've seen in years. Beautiful shots of Moab, interesting insights on EV power networks/ vehicle compatibility, less dramatized shouting and an upside/exploratory attitude about a clearly aggravating ordeal. Others have already said it but more of this would be amazing.

The way you kept a good attitude throughout this experience is phenomenal.. I would've had it towed back to the dealership and traded it in right there on the spot haha

I'm trying happy for Stradman. The long waited Stradgirl is just perfect for him! Kudos James.

A 22 MIN VIDEO?!? it is our lucky day for sure. I don't know if it is just me but everytime James is with Sophia they both look really happy which in turn makes me happy, best channel on youtube in my opinion, just positivity from these videos and just brings me a lot more joy! Always a good day when James uploads. Lots of love to you both, love yall!

I feel your pain Stradman. Ran into the same situation with my mach-e. Quickest trade in for a Tesla.

There’s a lot of cool other EVs out there, but you cannot convince me to give up my 10 year old model S for any of them. The supercharger network is amazing and it saved me so many times.

As a fellow EV owner I agree with Strad, the price of these fast chargers make owning them not financially beneficial anymore and the time wasted is ludicrous
