@@edsgarage001 thank you
Unfortunately wireless carplay/AA will never be added via ota updates. But there's plenty of aftermarket dongles to add that. Once the ioniq 6 gets a design refresh with the ccnc infotainment system, it'll finally get wireless.
@@edsgarage001 yep we have one for our EV9
Fyi the ioniq 5 also has active aero
@@edsgarage001 thanks for letting us know!
Merry Christmas gentlemen
@@bobqzzi same to you!
I have this vehicle and I get way less than 300 miles of range. The base model or even the middle would be better for long range. I’m rather upset about my purchase.
@@Kjohnson90302 thanks for the info!
@ thanks for the correction!
@@theevgeekpodcastmy apologies, I actually thought you had the AWD version there. After replaying I noticed it was actually the rwd.... My bad
If you wanna stretch your range dramatically, get some 18" ev01+ wheels... I increased my range about 40 miles just by doing that.
Wish the fronk had some kind of heating to melt snow on it.
That would be an interesting and useful feature!
Well done!!
TY
Thanks for watching!!
Suggestion. Only put cars on the list you have actual experience driving or have reviewed. Saying well 500e is bad because of short range is a bit misleading.. Same for Vinfast “its bad” RZ might not be perfect but its built really well and owners love them. Americans are so hung up on range… Not everyone wants a Tesla either and Not everyone travels 500miles. The US and Canadian EV market is so lousy it hurts me as someone who spends lots of time in Europe.
@@simplygregsterev noted
Oh boy, now Tesla owners will start hating seeing Bolts at the crowded chargers, knowing that they will be there slow charging for ever!
@@LarryRichelli we really haven’t had any issues with Tesla owners at Supercharger
Anything but Elon.
We’re starting to hear that more
I have a 2022 i5 LTD AWD. 23,000 miles. I drive very conservatively, use Eco mode and Auto regen. I always L3 charge my car. My range has been 280 to 300 miles as long as the outside temp stays between 45 degrees and 80 degrees. The lowest I have seen is 260 when the temp drops to below freezing and stays there..
@@edwardk779 thanks for sharing!
Well done! I was also interested to know that ride quality on the I6
TY
Thanks for watching!!!
@@Jrssms05 of course :)
A couple of things: 1. Buying a Tesla in 2024 is an act of absolute moral depravity 2. I am literally buying a Black 2wd Hyundai RWD from Crain Hyundai as we speak. The transporter should be picking it up just about now to ship it to me. Is this my car?
They were awesome to work with in LR! Enjoy your Hyundai!!
@@theevgeekpodcast I am really wondering if that is the car I am buying- when did you drive it? I guess I'll be able to tell if the Walmart is saved in the favorite charging stations
@ we drove a black Limited RWD. Let us know if it’s the same one… That would be so cool!
the 62KWh Nissan Leaf is the absolute best deal EV in the UK right now with the discounts you're getting, it's between the leaf, MG and BYD - it's also good for British weather which is coolish, dark and wet, but oceanic and mild

Cant live without CarPlay
@@efavuzza73 we hear that from lots of people!!!
a 20 dollar carplay adapter works just fine. anyway, it has my hope in later OTA updates, it might get it.
@ we have one we use in our EV6…love it!!
It has CarPlay through USB. Works perfect.
@ thank you!
The pull in the back is not for the door charger, is if the charger gets stuck as an emergency only you can pull it
@@ElectroMoviCars thanks for the info!
I love the style and looking for alternatives to a Tesla but we have a ‘25 model 3 and just get disappointed with everything else I’ve looked at. 🤷🏼♂️. Especially the prices of the Tesla competitors seems high for less tech.
Thank you for commenting! Hope you are enjoying your Tesla!
I hate the wheels for some reason
Joel likes them, I am indifferent to them -Sebastian
The independent rear wheel suspension is a big help in handling.
Thanks for letting us know!
Great review guys - the pluses you mentioned are the things that sold me on this car. I was originally looking at the Kona but got an amazing deal to lease the I5. Pretty sure i won't be able to downgrade to the Kona in 2 years!
@@pamelaolson2449 glad you enjoyed it!
Problem * 12v drainage * ICCU recall for 2 years ...even more * Rattling from trunk * Alignment from wheels issues * Charging door deforming due heat sun * Squeeking sound from here and there during the winter (driver seet) * Battery protection under the car not that good * Front battery trap getting stuck during winter All this would not be that bad if we had good services from hyundai
@@thedaeron3877 is this just your model or all models?
@@theevgeekpodcast 2021-2024, i got an ultimate 2024 no issues yet but only have 4000 miles but the horror i see on different group... i wish i chose another car... i feel like it's a ticking bomb... sadly
What’s wrong with your model?
The 12V thing has plagued basically every Kia/Hyundai PHEV and EV for nearly a decade now. My 2021 Ioniq PHEV has left me stranded 7 times due to 12V drain issues, and once due to a failed charge port lock (it seized while olugged in, immobilized the car). The ICCU recal is an ongoing issue, but is being fixed now (in theory... Time will tell) The next 4 I hadn't heard of until now. The protection of the battery is fine. This stems from 2 cases in Canada that were severe damage to the protective plate. The one we have details on is that the car ran over something so significant that it pushed the protection plate so far up in to the battery that it destroyed the cooling system making the entire pack unrepairable so insurance wrote off the car. The other we don't have many details but apparently they ran over a muffler or similar sized metal object ehich caused similar damage. That's just two damaged cars in years, so hardly indicates a huge deaign flaw. I also hadn't heard of the front battery flaps getting stuck, but I'm sure thatvwould happen on any vehicle if you jam ice in where the flaps move.
@@Snerdles yes it has plagued my EV6
Thanks for watching! Feel free to comment!
No, but the government will crash the grid
Care to elaborate?
@theevgeekpodcast Yes, The government(s) are trying to push a cashless society with AI governance, and they need to create an order our of chaos, hence the term (ordo ab chao) as said in freemasonry. Once they shut down the grid (3-6 months), they'll create an AI , cashless, energy efficient world, and many will fall for it unfortunately....., You may think this will be good for society, but that's how they portray it to you, and then people won't see what's coming...... But just stick with Jesus Christ the messiah and you will be safe!
Perfect timing on this video, I just bought a Lariat and gets delivered Monday! Will be my first EV, I’m so excited!!
@@GregBader-n6p we hope you like it!!
Is this their App call ChargEasy?
I’m not sure… The best thing to do will be to check out their website
Gravity only gets @3.6-3.7 miles. It is still good for a vehicle of that size. The Air Pure gets 5 miles per kW.
Thanks for the clarification

Sweet looking.?

Sold an EV6 about a year ago and we are impressed with its ride quality
Thank you!
Wait a minute - the 2024 refresh was supposed to include wireless CarPlay. I must say, I like the new steering wheel, but it’s. Or enough to make me consider giving up my 23 Deep Forest green with tan interior. Overall, it’s a great car. Smooth driving experience, Good safety features, we basically let the car drive itself in stop&go traffic
Thank you for commenting
Kia is stepping up their game!!!
They have been!
But Tesla was and will be better , they still have to copy Tesla in many ways. Kia tries to show more , but it will never rise to their level.
Love the parking feature!!! and cool blue color!
