It may be a mistake to rely on Alan's interpretation of what was said in the video. Just saying. The reviewer was pretty down to earth and if he made mention of freezing at the charging station, I suspect he was being tongue-in-cheek.
The reviewer didn't mention freezing at the charging station because it didn't happen. Typically, the car was charged during meals or overnight at the hotel and interspersed with an occasional shorter top up and break from driving during the long road trip with friends.
Then you have the misrepresentation regarding what the reviewer said about using and charging the car which he decided to buy.
What the reviewer says is: "This is still fairly new tech and it's going to take a little bit while longer to work out all the kinks. But, you know what? Unless you're the kind of person that travels like 400 kilometers
a day for work, that's almost never going to be an issue for you; because if you install a fairly cheap Level 2 charging station at home, your car will be fully charged and ready to go every single day."
This discussion of
daily use for
work gets misinterpreted as: "he said that it
wouldn't be used for long trips but rather used locally
only so he could
always charge it overnight at home". Yeah... the reviewer
never said "it
wouldn't be used for long trips", only that it could be an issue to drive it 400 kilometers every day for work. Just like he never said his car would be "used locally
only so he could
always charge it overnight at home". None of that was said or even implied. The daily use for work context was simply eliminated to create a twisted narrative and inaccurate quote.
Yeah. Just the usual seeing what you want to see and hearing what you want to hear. At the end of the two road trip videos, which preceded the review, he said:
"My overall thoughts were very positive. It was a joy to drive on my road trip, despite the charging issues that we encountered due to the Canadian charging infrastructure."
