We made it! We are the first people to drive an unmodified, cheap, compact, EV to the Arctic Ocean via the Dempster Highway! The remote, arctic, 500-mile dirt Dempster Highway is infamous for being a challenge for gas and diesel vehicles and it terminates in Tuktoyaktuk, Canada on the shores of the Arctic Ocean. -- About This Series -- I am driving my economy, standard range electric vehicle 8,000 miles (12,000 km) to the Arctic Ocean and back with no backup generator. 1,000 miles (1,600km) of which are dirt road and wilderness. Join me as I begin a world’s first attempt for a Bolt--an EV with a poor road tripping reputation.

Is EV range anxiety still a thing in 2025? We drove 500km from KL to Kuantan and back in the Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD on a single charge to find out.

In this episode, Micah and I start the Dempster Highway—our most ambitious attempt yet and a world-first! Along the way, we encounter the Epic of Gilgamesh and a traditional severed human toe in our whiskey cups. The remote, arctic, 500-mile dirt Dempster Highway is infamous for being a challenge for gas and diesel vehicles. With our next charging stop a full 2km further than our projected range when we depart, we are noticeably anxious about our attempt to do this. No other Chevy Bolt has ever attempted this feat. -- About This Series -- I am driving my economy, standard range electric vehicle 8,000 miles (12,000 km) to the Arctic Ocean and back with no backup generator. 1,000 miles (1,600km) of which are dirt road and wilderness.
