Good video, thanks. Gas/diesel station infrastructure has had 120+ years to evolve, where the public EV charging network has had about 10 years; I consider EV charging to be where gas station infrastructure was in about 1910-1915. I hope it improves quickly.

First road trip in an EV was last weekend, in our new Ioniq 6 First Edition - but over here in the UK rather than the US. Used planning tools such as ABRP and Zapmap to get a feeling for how the trip might play out, and Zapmap was very much on point with their predictions. Charged only once on the round-trip, at an ultra-fast (350kw) charger when I was down to around 26%. In the time it took me to relieve myself and think a little about how much charge I needed to add, it was up to 70% and I disconnected. 10 mins in all, with peak rates up in the 230kw range. I cannot fault my experience, but I of course know that it won’t always be so smooth. To counter some of the other comments, personally I am prepared to plan a bit more and spend a bit more time en-route to drive electric - because my children and their children deserve a little bit of consideration from my generation to help limit the difficulties we are already going to be heaping on their lives in the future.

Your charging is amazing because in Canada where I live almost all CCS chargers are 50 kW and the few 100kW+ chargers stop working in the real cold in winter.

Im getting a Ev , i like this one so far, but I dont consider is smart to use them for a long trip, lol, the everyday local usage is perfect, home charging with my solar panels is just ideal

Thank you for this video.

The 350 kW EA chargers, which can get up to 225 kW for charging, are very hit and miss when I use them. I find the 150 kW chargers at EA are more consistent and I usually hit 155 kW peak on them in the Ioniq 5.

You have to sort of pre heat the bat and system before 350kw charge I read somewhere so you can optimize the charge at max 👌🏻😉

Back in May we went to SF down highway one to Pacifica then HMB, CA in our brand new I-6 SE LRange pushing 371, yes not 361. Eighty percent from EA's same 80% but were @ a 350 but barely went above 150w most of the time, didn't flexuate like your exp. BUT....HOWEVER, did awesome used less fuel up and down hills then Coastal Hwy from Ocean Beach with over 200 left! our experience was SO Much Better than our old LEAF from 2013. We also had the ac on low and blasted our music. Better exp than the Polestar 2 and Tesla 3 we had rented since Jan from Enterprise AND HERTZ. Hope your experience with your wife's 5 will be just as good and Winsconson Elect may not be reg or consistent for EV Charging at such high voltages and Kw's Currents. Best buy we have made in decades, worth the wait to lose the bells and whistles and rainbow lights in the SEL and LTD and N. we have one of the top 3 of EV's in distance/mileage surpassing three hundred sixty one miles and less than half an hour to chrg.

The EV infrastructure is just not ready for prime time as yet. Maybe some day chargers will become a ubiquitous as gas stations, but until then, range anxiety and the need to alter your route and driving style to accommodate charging stops, is a definite drawback.

range is based on around 55 mph,,, into the 70 mph it really drops,, same for all cars

Right off the bat I have to say, charge speed is not a promise.

I defnitely agree with your comment that developing the charging grid is more important than increasing vehicle range. It's the drama that surrounds charger availability that's scary.

Its worth it $11 to charge ur car vs $45 to $60 to get Gas. Saves a lot of money over time.

The charging speed will be double if you pre heat the battery. For that you have to select a charger as the destination on the built in NAV.

All Hyundai’s 800v high speed charging tech” is useless it would appear. They might as well hop aboard the big T’s 400v supercharging network at those speeds. Good review! Like the car. Interior is one of my favorites on the market right now too

I use the Electrify America 150 watt charger and l get the same charging speeds that you got

I would like to see an Ioniq 6 SE RWD model to see if it gets 363 miles per charge.

22:45 I was gonna say that car has route planning and preconditioning so ambient conditions shouldnt be as much of a factor.

I am pretty sure the Ioniq 6 only takes about 250kw and not 350kw.

It says "UP to 350kW" right on the charger. 200-250 is about average for the Hyper chargers...still really quick!

I noticed that you use chargers at Wallmarts alot. Why? Is this what is mostly available? Or what you mostly find dependable?

Did you talk to the Rivian or Lightning owners to find out what charging rate they were getting?

I'm looking at this car right now. That $9.25 is crazy, where I am it's gonna be between $60 and $90.

wondering if the charge speed and rerouting to walmart for 7 mins which all came up to an an hour + 20 mins is the same for tesla's as well?

You need to arrive with less charge and a per-conditioned battery in order to get those top speeds while charging.

I got better things to fo than sit there waiting. Especially in the winter.

can we use the air conditioner while charging the car?

EV’s will only succeed when every gas station also has chargers

ya it only takes around 240 kw

the legacy automakers shud be contributing to the charging infrastructure , and taking accountability for dysfunctional chargers,instead of leaving it up to tesla and 3rd parties to piggie back off of just my IMO

Do not range test over 70mph. Most of EV range test speed is 70mph. 5mph make a big difference in high speed.

I hate that chargers price by time instead of the power. I reize in most cases tbis is due to regulations and not the charger, but it's so idiotic to pay more if your car can't peak the charger.

You live in a dream world. You can't make charging companies do anything. They know you need them so use them or don't use them. You could have moved to other 350kw chargers and tried them or even the 150kw chargers may have worked better for you. And you made no effort to get faster charging. You seem like a nice guy so please make a better effort and break out of your dream world and wake up to reality.

i absolutely hate that google maps does not occupy the WHOLE screen

30 minutes to charge vs gas?

Hyundai is misrepresenting generally charging speeds. I have never met the “ideal” charging conditions to get above 150kw. They should market real world charging, which is always 120-140 for my use. Plus, my kw always surges up and down like that. Hyundai needs to fix this. Tesla charging stations always close to freeway, that is a major reason why Tesla are so popular. But with Tesla, their insurance was 100 more per month-no thanks.

Who has 25 min to get fuel???

My ioniq 6 charge 330mile

I cannot stand the looks of the instrument cluster. I definitely don't care for the message that displays of the right telling you to keep your hands on the wheel. I will buy an electric vehicle when they jam them down my throat. Sitting in your car wondering how far you can travel at the current state of charge is enough to drive you crazy.
