Driving 1000 Miles in 3 Cars: Gas vs Electric!

We drove a Tesla, a Mustang Mach-E and a gas car 1000 miles in a loop to see which was fastest. This was our road trip results!

Mach-E provided by Ford for the video.

I think you should have let the EVs charge to max at the hotel. Since that's one of the perks of an EV. Most hotels have at least one destination charger that'll work with either plug.

The graphics with the comparison of the 3 cars including the current level of battery are 10/10

I would love to see this done again as a part 2 with them having the knowledge that the maps don't work well, especially since the issues on the first leg with the mache e really messed up the 2nd leg, would also love to see the extended range/dual motor models

Very interesting and educating. I was contemplating electric vs gas for my next car but then there are hybrid and diesel options -- it would be cool to add those to the mix.

I love how Marques is so versatile with his content, this video is a banger 🔥

[TechSpaceCowboy]

SERIOUS serious props to whomever did your graphics for this one.

Outstanding.

Please do a second round now 2 years later to see if non-tesla chargers improved at all.

I’d love to see a similar comparison out West where the charging infrastructure isn’t as built up and the terrain is more challenging. Maybe Spokane to Yellowstone National Park or Denver to Salt Lake City. I know plenty of people that only road-trip for vacations and a lot of these could be in the west where there are more natural vacation destinations. Idk if y’all would have the time and budget to do this, but it’d be fun to see!

Great video! Good one to show to people that are always questioning road tripping Gas VS EV.

[zollotech]

Great comparison. Hopefully one day the chargers and standards are the same so it makes this much easier.

This was really cool to watch AFTER seeing the actual road trip videos back-to-back. My next car is going to be a Subaru Crosstrek, but I have a feeling what comes next will more than likely be and EV.

[Oldmansland]

Excellent video Marques. This is really informative.

[EngineeringExplained]

Thank you for doing this! It's so difficult to recommend a non-Tesla EV when none of the non-Tesla EVs don't take the user experience of charging seriously. Really hope EA & all the manufacturers up their game if they're looking for anyone to buy these cars (especially in the US, where occasional long trips are fairly normal).

[hoofhearted]

this was interesting and he hit the nail on the head in the beginning. guessed the order, but not the time (honestly didnt really guess a time, but that was better than id have expected) would be curious if there would be a greater difference between a car with better fuel mileage and add in a hybrid.

I'm starting to appreciate the moments I have while charging. I get to explore a bit more with the given charge estimation period. After all, I am on a road trip and sight seeing is part of it

the charging stations outside Tesla's supercharging network needs some serious quality control. It's like they don't even care about it working.

Some perspective for European viewers in terms of prices:
1 Liter of gasoline in western Europe is around 1.5€, while it is 0.8€ in the USA. That means it is over 50% more expensive to use gas in Europe than the USA. So total gas cost for the road trip would equate to 109€ for the whole roadtrip.

Good work. Very informative. Thank you.
