Thanks Great Video information

Thanks for this informative comparison. I will want AWD since I live where there are months of snow and ice on the road, I imagine they compare about the same. I am looking at Kia EV6 and Equinox at this stage of the game

These are the vehicles I'm looking at right now so thanks for this. Just subbed. Would you happen to have a link to the spreadsheet?

Is this tool only a reader? can it write data into the car computer? I need an OBD dongle like OBDEleven to program 12V battery information after installing a new 12V battery. i.e., battery adaptation. Can Veepeak also do that? Thanks.

What a difference 10 years makes. Lot's of choices now and there's nationwide networks of DC chargers.

The Mustang Mach E Select SR gets 320 miles of range???

Have you received your Equinox EV yet?

Kia EV6, Niro EV, Hyundai Kona EV, Ionic 6 Generally my advice to anyone getting an EV is to lease due to the depreciation issue and the rapidly changing tech. I did the Kia Niro EV Wave trim on a ‘23 they needed to sell. 15k miles a year 290 a month.

So much for all those "The EV market is dead!" headlines at the beginning of the year. Glad to see another US competitor for the people on the field.

Electrify America is a mess indeed. That being said, I’d like to see how EVGO mixes in with the group. And others as well, I mean where is the cheapest place to go overall?

No. Blazer's infotainment system had a bug. The car's weren't shutting down

I have an early model Leaf which is basically an around town go cart so while I don’t road trip in it I’m familiar with charging and all that. I was leaning toward an ID.4 but have recently been looking at an Equinox and have really started to swing in that direction. My thoughts on charging speed and time (with the caveat that I haven’t been through it): 30-ish minutes 10-80% is fine for me. Usually when I’m on the road we’re stopped about 30-ish minutes every2-4 hours. But even if I make a shorter stop, getting 150 or so miles is good for another 2 hours when I’d want to stretch my legs anyway. I don’t like the added pricing scheme of Super Cruise so I probably won’t get it. The IQ Drive is one of the things I liked about the ID.4. Other than that, the 2LT is very well equipped and probably won’t miss the things it doesn’t have vs the ID.4.

All the Cadilacs look like Lyriqs and Lyriqs are kind of bland for an EV in my opinion. The sedan looks like a wagon in the back. I personally think they all could use some light bars in the front and back to stand out from all the ICE cars on the road.

I got the same mac

Saw a sterling gray equinox rs and a black rs. Very cool in person. Not a fan of black as you can't enjoy color contrast. Having a 22 bolt ev at the moment I'm hoping to get a nacs adapter.

tire places don’t like fix it flat, is messy

Level 1 at home level 2 at work

We took our '24 Ioniq 5 RWD on a roughly 3,400 mile trip recently. We charged 20 times. 15 were at Electrify America and not all were on 350 kW chargers. We averaged 18 minutes charging per stop. That includes a ChargePoint that was 40 minutes while we ate supper and almost filled the battery to get a good start in the morning. 12 stops were under 18 minutes. We charged to 90% or more several times because we just couldn't get back from the bathrooms fast enough. LOL! What a road tripper!

Great review ! If possible, reducing the constant use of filler words (especially "um" and "uh") would have improved the viewer experience for me; nonetheless, I appreciated your review

Thank you For the thorough review.It's very useful getting the second opinion from your wife, for example The comments she made about the window control (where as you usually don't even use it). Keep up the great work!

Not sure faster is better. I have been charging my leaf for 10 years at the slowest rate and my battery shows no degradation. It charges while I sleep and is always ready when I need it to be.

For me it’s a bad decision. I’ve got mine (EX30) one week ago and have to admit driving this car is so much fun. I give a shit of some software bugs. Those will be fixed soon anyway.

How could I watch netflix?

Hair is coming back for attention.

Hello sir do you ever experienced on your id.4 tha all of door not unlocked with remote or manually. I had that problem this morning and I am not able to unlock. I called dealership and they don’t know what happened. They want me to tow car to the dealership. What should I do to unlock the door. If you know what to do let me know thanks

Did I miss it how much did he pay for 90k miles?

The charging speed in the I5 is pretty quick. I could see it biting me by finishing the charge to 80% before I could get back out to the car if you had anything you needed to do at a stop. But if you are in a rush it seems like you could keep moving along nearly as fast as with a ICE. Those efficiency numbers you were getting were pretty bad though. Would be nice to be able to stretch out some longer distances between charging stops when trying to make good time.

Glad you made to Denver. Just watched your vid. I believe you were at the meetup with Patrick and Liv at Moru coffee shop? Didn’t get a chance to introduce myself, the one with the puppy. Lues

Glad you enjoyed your trip through God's country. And in an Ioniq 5 no less!! We just got a '24 Ioniq 5 SEL RWD on April 2 and love it. One road trip so far. FL to OH to IA and back to FL. It makes road trips almost as fast as a gas car. And I love the comfort but my wife complains about the lack of lumbar support in the manual passenger seat after several hours on the road. As for the air conditioning anomaly you encountered while charging, we've had something similar happen but not enough times to actually get a handle on what's circumstances lead to what conditions. But since the battery and cabin cooling are shared, I can see how a hot battery would take priority over a hot cabin. But usually, the car is ready to go by the time we've finished "going" so to speak. Once back on the road, the battery seems to cool down in just a few minutes. You can see the power to the HVAC dropping in the electrical usage screen on the infotainment. It's far from a perfect car, but it checks most of my boxes. Glad you liked it too.

I would expect B mode to be more effective in stop and go driving. I found that B mode and cruise control results in quicker response to approaching slower traffic.

Why did you buy this system instead of the VW one?

Thanks for your videos! We have a ChargePoint home charger, and I have the ChargePoint app on my phone, to set the charging schedule. I am having trouble getting our VW ID 4 to charge correctly. I have set the ID 4 car schedule set to exactly match the ChargePoint charging schedule (both start and end times), which is as midnight. But the VW 4 is only charging 11 miles an hour, rather than 31, although we have a 40A ability on the ChargePoint. At one point, it was charging at 31 miles per hour, but now it's not. (We also have a Tesla, and I like to have both cars charge starting at midnight.)

The best charger is the one by The Waffle House, it's a fact.

Sucker

German EV's still come with spare tires. My e-tron has a collapsable/expandable tire and it has saved the day twice. You never plan on using a spare tire, but when you need it at 0230 in the morning on the side of a road in Gettysburg a spare is very handy.

It will be interesting to see your time line for getting the Equinox. I have ordered virtually the same vehicle and you are 3 weeks ahead of me. Looking forward to your next update!

Nice, thanks for this video. We just picked up a 24.

From what i understand, fix-a-flat does work too well on tires made specifically for EVs because of the foam inside to reduce road noise. So you should use a repair kit to plug the hole and then use a portable air pump to inflate the tire. Now, i have had to do this yet....knock on wood.

There’s this new thing called Tesla roadside service bro

I think most vehicle owners never touch thier spare (either never needed or not wanting to bother), so the manufacturers figure why waste the money and the space / weight. Also fix a flat is great in a pinch but is very specific on what leaks it works on and also makes a real mess for the guy at the shop who changes your tire.

This is no longer a hypothetical for me since I traded in my Sportwagen that had a full size spare for an ID4 yesterday. When I lived in the city I was picking up nails a lot so I got real good at changing my own. Hopefully I won't run into this too much and I have AAA if it comes to that. Anyway, thanks for helping me out with your videos, the salesman said I almost knew more about the car than he did. Got me a '24 AWD Pro S in Opal White. I'll miss the old Tornado Red but that pearl coat sure is pretty. If you're at DCI East this year maybe we'll run into each other!

My wife's Leaf has had 2 flats. And the first one I used to fix a flat that came with the car. It didn't work. We had it towed to Discount tires. They actually fixed it for free. 2nd time was due to a screw in the side. I was able to get enough air from the provided air pump and got it to Discount tires. But when it's on the side they don't repair it. So had to get a new tire. The last few cars we have had didn't have a spear. I really don't have an issue with the tow. Yes it takes time to get it done. But you can live with it.

Luckily my F150 Lightning has a full size spare. Most newer models of ICE vehicles dont have spare tires anymore which is crazy

Love my id4. My Girlfriend loves her Tesla Y

This is the best looking Tesla car i have ever seen. It looks better than the more modern tesla cars.
