Yea, that test was cute but not real world. I was in the Virginia traffic debacle. All in all, it took me 24 hours to get from Baltimore to Charlotte, including a few hours of sleep. I had winter gear so the engine was off while I slept for 5 hours or so.
Were the lights on the whole time? Just heating footwells is not heating the car. Did he include revving and getting out of being stuck in the snow? I had 4WD so being stuck was no big shake but some others did get stuck?
How about 50 miles of power outage so if there was a problem, there’s no opportunity. That’s 42% of the total charge at 100%.
And in my case, I was about 80 miles into the trip before I had any inkling of a problem until I saw brake lights
There is no way I would drive anything not gas or diesel up north, and I an sure the test put the least possible strain on the vehicle, but I was still impressed.
