Engineers from General Motors recently took two preproduction EVs on a 5,000-mile road trip across the U.S. to gather real-world driving data and better understand how their electric vehicles perform outside the lab.

Their goal with the exercise was to learn from actual usage and apply those insights to improve future GM EVs.
