This EV charging solution isn't the most environmentally friendly one, but given that it's only used to provide a few miles of range to get back to a charger after running dead, it's not that big of a deal.

One thing that really sucks about range testing is that you can never get to the absolute bottom of the pack without some serious inconvenience. I haven’t run my Bolt EUV to dead, but I ran my 2018 Nissan LEAF to dead several times.

But, the third and last time the LEAF died, I was about two miles from home, on the side of I-10, and with a big hill between me and my exit. Most family was out of town, so I had to call for a tow. After a half-hour wait, the car was dropped in my driveway and I was able to charge up while I slept. Instead of calling for a tow truck or charging Level 2 from a big power station or something, the crew built a mobile charging stations, not unlike the charging stations that Tesla deploys sometimes. They rented a big diesel genset from Sunbelt Rentals, and then mounted a small Level 3 charging station on the tongue. This is then pulled along behind an electric truck that can then tend to the trucks when they finally run completely out of range.

Interestingly enough, the Silverado EV managed to barely beat a similar range result compared to the Lucid they tested previously. But, to know who the real “range king” is, they’ll need to test both of them on the same day on the same roads to get a fair comparison.
