The winter in the Chicago area was very mild. So far only 2 inches total of light fluffy. Temperatures were mild compared to previous years. Then we had a true Chicago winter. Temperatures played with 0 F. for 5 days. When I heard the prediction. I took my 2023 Ford Mustang Mach -E to a "AE" Charging station. I charged it to 80%. It sat in my garage for 5 days. I had a doctors appointment. It was a 0 F morning. I pressed the start button. The charges graph and mileage predictor. Show I had ZERO charge and 5 miles predicted.

Something is off with the # of charging cycles... 70k / 140 = 500km each charging cycle? Hmmm

yeah on a super cold day at that speed, roughly 180~190 miles is what the premium eAWD Extended range battery will get. I have a 2024 and drove it in colder at higher speed and got about that. Ford seems good at balancing range and battery condition. I have been very happy with mine and it's performance in the winter. mine still got that in -5F to -10F wind chill doing 75MPH on a flat Kansas highway. it was in the 170-180 miles range (displayed battery percent, it actually reserves 10% at the bottom and 10% at the top when charging for health. so when it is at 0% it actually has 10% left in the pack and when it is at 100% it has 10% not charged in the pack. to kind of explain it. so even though the pack is 91kWh the 0-100% usable range is more like 72.8kWh). Also the Mach-e Premium is the "fully loaded" model and not the base. There is a base model and I don't think you can option the extended range battery and eAWD on that. The GT and Rally are special upgraded higher performance versions of the Premium. Adding magnaride suspension, racing seats, and upgraded motor and visual upgrades (nothing else). This is true for the 2024 model year and basically 2025.

Very interesting video! Autel diagnostic tools have come a long way!

Good information regardless. I don't need to see the car to stop moving to understand what the effective range is. I need to check what my last trip legs worked out to. Temp was at about -10C, so a bit warmer. You are more efficient, but I have a larger battery. Also, I not that your consumption was fairly consistent which means little wind, or mostly crosswind.

And you can’t precondition when below 20%.

*Oh, blast!!!* You had to do it, didn't you?! The exact reason that I subscribed to your channel was because you didn't (UNITL NOW) talk down to us Americans, by converting Metric to Imperial. It is (was) nice just hearing you use Metric, and not hearing the... 😒

FYI the battery preconditioning only works if you use the in car navigation. It will not trigger if using CarPlay/AA

Nice video! Were you preheating the battery going to the DC Fast Charger? What was the charging speed/power at that low level of battery ?

Since when was 112 kilometers per hour a reasonable speed on the 401?

Holding your phone while driving in Ontario can attract a hefty fine along with demerit points, you are taking risks to bring us content.

I really want this car but they are still hard to come by. The few on the lot are over market price.

I5 supports V2L as well. It's a great car.

My local ford dealer on the south shore of montreal has installed 3 chargers but they are part of the Circuit Electrique network

The charging slot for your phone is beside the shifter. Take a look.

The solar roof is not available in Canada on any trim level.

Is buying a used EV worth it?? Definitely more so than buying a brand new EV

Coolant replacement is done at 195,000kms/120 months and every 39,000kms/24 months thereafter. Assuming it's on the same schedule as the Kia EV6.

Love my used 2023 Volvo C40 Recharge Twin at 50% of new & 16,500 miles. Nobody wants these puppies. Not the best EV but excellent car. Only issue in 5K miles is a fault in the external speaker, which was replaced under warranty. Bought it from Hertz, which has high maintenance standards and does not rent to people with bad driving records or poor credit. Key to happiness is not to lust after more range and faster charging times. Its a blast to drive: burning rubber to save the earth :)

Buy privately, save a fortune ❤. USA doesn't seem to do that. Weird.

2025 battery reconditioning pump was installed something the 2024 and older doesn’t have…only buy 2025’s and newer moving forward

Used EV’s are true BARGAINS and why would there be any reason not to buy one? My son and his wife both have 3 year old EV’s . I have had three over 5 years and all with ZERO ISSUES.

Really interesting to hear a North American saying this car is big - that’s exactly how I feel but I’m viewing it from a U.K. perspective. I’d (wrongly) assumed its size would have seemed pretty normal from an American pov. Interesting.

18-19k in USD. Damn sounds like a steal

The interior is just awfull.

Model Y are HUGE😮. Driving enthusiasts never buy SUV'S.😢

How much to repair a faulty battery on this model?

I got an EV and saved $1million in just 12 months on fuel...😂😂😂

No

You don't sound British

Very interesting, Well done - In future test mentioned please compare CarScanner w/your professional tool when you scan a. rental or older EV. Would love to see how close the consumer tools come to the ProTools.. lots of used car dealers don’t do any type of battery check so consumers need to be armed with some sort of tool or know what kind of tool to ask a third-party mechanic to use to check a car before they buy. Still early days for used EV markets lots of shady dealers out there. I’ve been trying to buy one for months. Wish leaf spy would expand their tool to be more generic for all major EV types. Their tool seems to be the best consumer tool but sadly, I’m not buying a leaf.

Let’s inspect this Used Hyundai Ioniq 5. Comment below with your thoughts!

Isn't nacs a bad choice? I realize they are lighter and easier to plug in, but they are limited to 250kw, versus 350kwh for the ccs2 connectors. And with the ccs2 plugs there are more pins to support technologies like v2g and V2h which are crucial for the future. The reason nacs was lighter is because it does not contain the same amount of conductive metal. But if Tesla wishes to increase speed, out will also weight more, and it still won't support technologies such as v2g and V2h. Something else important: you can downgrade a ccs2 with a simple adapter, but you can't upgrade a nacs port to a ccs2 (missing pins) . Another example is the Hyundai v2l (another protocol) which allows you to use your charging port as a regular 110v or 220v plug . That's also only possible if you have ccs2. I think that at some moment in time (soon) Tesla will upgrade to a new plug, and that will create a whole compatibility mess during years.

I just had the low conductivity coolant swap done on my 2022 yesterday at Kingston (Ontario) Hyundai. They charge $499 which was one of the best prices around even compared to Ottawa. Smiths Falls Hyundai wanted $1300+. Definitely call around.

There's a 2023 in the US thats done over 200k and going strong. Battery still at 89%. I have the 6 in UK Ultimate trim and loving it.

Great informative video!

Great video Greg, I’d be keen to hear if you can work out how to tune the engine response. I have the Abarth 500e, and the way it’s tuned they don’t give you the full power out of the engine until you get to maybe 40kmh. At that point it slowly ramps the power up. I’ve watched a few of your 500e videos now. Would be interesting to know what voltage/power the controller delivers to the motor.

Kudos for adopting EVs in your shop expertise.

I wish they would bring the Abarth 500e into Canada and the USA.

70k km isn't terribly high at all. $27k CAD is a crazy silly good deal !!!

I have 85,000 km on my 2 wheel drive and it has the 77kw battery. Fluid has not been replaced at regular dealership services, have not had issues with icu's etc, just some recall updates, no rattles at all, have saved $18k in fuel and maintenance haveing switched from a pick up as a daily driver. The dealership has been good. 3 years in and I still Love driving this thing!

There is a TSB to fix the rear catch rattle should be under warranty

70,000 km is a lot??? My 2023 Ioniq 6 has 75,000 km! I drove it a lot because I am a soccer-dad and the darn car is soooooo fun to drive. From Vernon to Vancouver ez on one charge. My battery is still 100% SOH, same OBD kWh remaining reading and my range hasn't declined a noticeable amount. Saved at least 8,000 bucks in gas over that time. They are beasts in the snow as well. Fastest vehicle on the Coquihalla in nasty winter conditions.

The new 2025+ 800v Hyundai and Kias will do 130kw on a Tesla Supercharger, but the old ones will only do 80-90kw.

There are great used EV deals out there. I think it's worth it. If you can deal with the Elon Musk antics, where there are good deals on used Tesla's direct from Tesla, they throw in another year of warranty

The 2025+ have eliminated the low conductivity coolant completely. So the first coolant change is at 10 years.

I have a 2024 GT performance and am in love with it. Traded my Audi in for one. There is a battery conditioning option in the ford app but it's a schedule which I'm not the biggest fan of. Overall this is the best vehicle I've ever owned.

That’s a great colour and trim. Would defo Consider one of these secondhand if I found a good deal

When I test drove one from the dealer the rear seat belts rattled against the side panels. Possible source of noise.

"Hurt feelings of pickup truck drivers"they can't handle a performance vehicle passing them. The dual motor long range is awesome in deep snow. at 70F I spend 185w/mile at 0F 330-450w/mile
