A few months ago, I decided I wanted to make it a point to go out on more electric-powered adventures. Before that, one of the things holding me back was my 2018 Nissan LEAF. While
Some readers probably wonder why I don’t just buy a Tesla. While I could probably cook up some reason around Elon Musk’s tweets or unionized labor, the truth is much simpler: I can’t afford a Tesla. My pay isn’t bad, but it doesn’t leave room for a $50,000 car after four kids get through with it, and I’m the primary breadwinner in my house.
My Michelin Defender LTX M/S full-sized spare in the back of my Bolt EUV . The Chevrolet charging cable and some other tools fit nicely inside the wheel, with plenty of room for a jack, cleaning supplies, and other stuff.At this point, there’s really no reason to fear backcountry adventures in an EV anymore.
I can go pretty much anywhere. With truck tires , I can go on most Forest roads and other “4WD recommended” areas as long as I slow down a bit, pick my lines carefully, and be sure to back out when it really does become too much for the Bolt EUV. But, I can then take the fat tire e-bikes off the rack on the back and keeping going even to places the best off-road vehicles don’t dare to tread. Electric power gives you options.
On top of all this, there’s plenty of additional capability coming in the future, so the Bolt EUV doesn’t have to be the end all, be all of adventure EVs in my price range. In a couple of years, affordable Chevy Equinox EVs will be available with better charging speeds, better range, and all-wheel drive. I’ve also got some plans developing to take a 1000-mile Aptera to Alaska, which should be fairly easy with its range .
