    I got my Ioniq 5 two months ago. It beats the ID4 or Mach-E simply because its charge speed is so much faster. Makes a huge difference on a journey with multiple charge stops..

    • @Laviolette101
      @Laviolette101 Год назад +3

      Fast charging has been shown to dramatically reduce the life of the battery. It is recommended to use slow or medium charging since rapid charging generates too much damaging heat for repeated sustained fast charging.

    • @garethkreike3263
      @garethkreike3263 Год назад +24

      @@Laviolette101 No one is suggesting using rapid charging all the time, but on a long journey that requires multiple stops, very rapid charging (up to 225kWh), of which the Ioniq 5 is capable, is the only way to make such a trip sensible. Trying to do a 500 mile trip with a car capable of accepting only 50kWh is painful and clogs up the charging network. It is like waiting for an ICE vehicle filling up at a petrol station with a straw sized hose.

      @@Laviolette101 That is a logically broken argument. FYI each 20min charge gives you like 230 miles. There is only soo much distance people are willing to drive in one day. You can not just magically repeatedly charge, you need to drain the battery first. For a private personal car there is no practical way to repeatedly fast charge on Public roads. The only way that is possible is illegal street racing or race track driving. Soo stop with the falsehoods.

    This is my current favorite electric car. I think they overall nailed the design interior and exterior. I think it will age well. Looks futuristic, but not overstated. Somehow still fits in with normal cars. I could be wrong, friends disagree, but overall I approve of the styling. I also think it's a great overall package. Like a jumbo hot hatch with good room. I would never go for the white interior though. Death sentence for my cars. I also feel they did a good job integrating the screens in the dash and leaving an airy interior. I like physical controls, but this seems usable. The biggest complaints I have heard are about charging issues. The price isn't horrible either, but obviously still not low enough for everyone to consider. Fun video, Sarah!

    Oddly enough, I just came back from a test drive with an Ioniq 5. Though only the RWD top trim.
    Fun to drive, could get the rear to step out a bit on loose ground even with ESP on. But the rear window got super dusty from just a tiny bit of dirt road. That could be quite a problem for people how love to keep their car clean.
    So, I test drove the whole family now. The EV6, Ioniq 5 and GV60.
    My favorite is the GV60.
    The Ioniq 5 N will come next year, just fyi.

      They need to make an all wheel drive version where you can detach the front axle. Kinda like the new BMW M3.

      @@razorraysolarsavings70 The Ioniq 5 AWD, the EV6 GT-Line and the GV60 do that already.
      When cruising, the front motor is completely decoupled, so you have no losses from induction and only very little from the rotation of the axles.
      So when cruising, they are RWD, but as soon as you Put the foot down, they recouple and you get full power.

    Love the video Sarah! Thank you so much for your awesome content! Just wondering if you have any level 3 DC fast charging to test out your EV reviews? This cars (and EV6) 800VDC battery architecture have phenomenal charging curves in my experience. I completely agree with you on the reservoirs all being so close together, someone's going to mess that one up 😅. Also noteworthy on you mechanic score of 3.4 wrenches as long as the individual is completely aware this high voltage DC battery will kill you instantly upon any miss understanding 😲.

      @@MHdollrevievs completely agree, I own a 2015 Nissan Leaf as well (love this car). It is relative when we all say "maintenance" so I'll elaborate further by saying ANYTHING to do with the traction battery (i.e. high voltage DC) shouldn't be attempted lightly. I've changed my 24kwh pack out personally and I can truly say it's a delicate procedure. Many online don't use the proper personal safety equipment or procedures recommended by the manufacturer. This is something that could take sometimes life instantly....

    One thing I think you're missing on your EV reviews is battery cooling. Heat management for the batteries has a big impact on their service life. While I am on my second beer already it might be worth looking into. And get a drone. Pretty sure you can get some amazing wide angles with the AZ landscapes!

    I love this car and wish I had one and enjoyed your take on it. I could be wrong, but I think what you're looking at under the lid of the front storage cubby is not a motor component but rather is the on-board charger for converting AC wall power to the DC power that the battery needs.

    I feel sorry for electric car drivers and future owners. They will simply have to learn the hard way .. as I did. These things are a huge hassle and a outrageous expense in the long run. Batteries are very ... very expensive to replace ( thousands of dollars) ... and make no mistake, you will be replacing them. These batteries are highly toxic to our environment, with a high potential for disaster to our surroundings. Plus I regret all the lost hours at these charging stations. I wish I knew all this before I bought my car . Do your homework before buying !

    The waiting list time for one of these (in the UK) is crazy, you can reverse power appliances from the car and also the charge speed is insane at 350kw when these charger become available, but in some places 250kw chargers are getting rolled out. At these rates just 5 minutes will get you 100km more range. Future proof!
