Is the Alberta charging infrastructure ready for a weekend road trip? I took the Genesis GV70 on a 600km round trip from Calgary to Edmonton, and while the car is a tech marvel, the reality of EV life on the QEII threw us a major curveball. In this video, I’m breaking down the range, the charging speeds at Red Deer, and exactly what went wrong that caused us to miss the show. In this video, we cover: The Route: Calgary to Edmonton (300km each way). The Gear: Real-world performance of the Genesis GV70 EV. The Infrastructure: Are there enough fast chargers in Alberta? The Lesson: Why we missed the concert and how you can avoid the same mistake. ----- 👇 *PRODUCTS IN THIS VIDEO* 👇 *OUR KITS* • *Pro Home Network Blueprint:* [https://kit.co/tydaspace/the-tydaspace-pro-home-network-blueprint-2025](https://kit.co/tydaspace/the-tydaspace-pro-home-network-blueprint-2025) • *YouTube Studio & Office Gear:* https://kit.co/tydaspace/the-tydaspace-youtube-studio-office-gear-2025 ----- *OUR STOREFRONTS* • *Amazon (US & Global):* [https://www.amazon.com/shop/tydaspace](https://www.amazon.com/shop/tydaspace) • *Amazon (Canada):* [https://www.amazon.ca/shop/tydaspace](https://www.amazon.ca/shop/tydaspace) ----- *FAVORITE PARTNER BRANDS* • *Reolink Security Cameras:* [https://Reolink.com/?aff=762](https://Reolink.com/?aff=762) ----- 📢 *DISCLOSURE: Links included may be affiliate links.

About This Video

I took the Genesis GV70 EV on a real weekend road trip test: a 600km round trip from Calgary to Edmonton and back, straight up and down the QEII. The GV70 itself is a legit tech showcase—quiet, comfortable, and the kind of EV that makes you feel like road trips should be easy. So instead of talking spec sheets, I focused on what actually matters when you’re trying to keep a schedule: real-world range, where you’re forced to stop, and how fast you can realistically get back on the road. The big question in this video is whether Alberta’s fast-charging network is ready for normal people doing normal trips. I break down what happened at the Red Deer charging stop, what charging speeds looked like in the real world, and how one infrastructure curveball snowballed into us missing the show. The takeaway is simple: the car can be road-trip capable, but the experience is only as good as the chargers you can count on. I also share the planning mistakes I made so you can avoid the same trap the next time you’re trying to do a tight-turnaround EV trip.
