I love that the Ioniq 5 seems to be built for manspreading. Push that center console all the way back and hang loose.

Forcing Mazda to build the MX-30 probably ends up incentivizing the company to launch better EVs in the future. Surely some of the EV R&D doesn't go to waste.

Hyundai's Kona EV 2022 seems widely available in Canada -- when doing our research, many of the videos were from Canadian dealers. We ended up buying it after comparing all the available EVs. So far it's worked great. In its price range ($30k for the basic model post-rebates) it was clearly the best vehicle.

VideoGameVet posted:The Niro and Kona EV's share powertrains. The Niro has much more room, the Kona is easier to park. Apple Play is wired, calls are wireless (if need be). Relatedly, still enjoying our Kona EV. The only thing we'd really like is Adaptive Cruise Control, which comes only with the top trim.

My detached garage has a 110v outlet. Recently the power went out and an electrician came to fix it. This wasn’t the cause of the original outage, but he did recommend not to charge my EV because the outlet wasn’t designed for EV charging. Should I be concerned at all?

Nice article about the first, second and third life of EV batteries. They don’t go straight to recycling. Some are being used to power sports stadiums and even charging stations themselves. https://www.wsj.com/articles/old-electric-vehicle-batteries-are-getting-a-second-life-11655114401

QuarkJets posted:That's not an exclusive option, they are also investing a shitload of money in transit options. I was just in the area and saw multiple new train lines being constructed, and there are apparently plans to add >20 new bus lines and to increase annual pass subsidies. That seems really good! At the same time, improving EV charging availability for people living in apartment complexes also seems really good Something like this should be targeted only at dense apartment complexes. Offering it to single-family homes is bad policy on top of bad policy.

I don’t think this trend will hold. Tesla will eventually open all its chargers to the rest of the population, and so will Rivian. They can’t walk away from all that charging revenue.

The price range in that list is pretty big, so it might be better to start by narrowing down what you want and can afford. Range, adaptive cruise control, cargo space, passenger space are a few things that’ll whittle your list down pretty quickly, if you have any requirements or preferences there. Also availability is gonna be a massive one too — it’s near impossible to find an Ioniq 5 in my area.

We’re being a bit disingenuous here — it obviously isn’t just about the range but also about the availability and quickness of chargers/gas stations. We’ve been slightly dissuaded from a few road trips because of how our vehicle might struggle to find a charger on certain routes. It’s not a big deal for us but some people don’t like worrying about that sort of thing.

Seems like that just means there’s a market for premium fast chargers where your cars are parked in a drive-in freezer and the chargers can go 350kw with no consequences.

I was at Yosemite last weekend and met this group of British tourists trying to figure out how it charge their Leaf at a ChargePoint station. We had trouble planning the trip for our non-CHAdeMO, 260-mile-range EV. I don’t know how these folks were managing it with their Leaf.

I’ve been worried for a while that using regen braking meant my brake lights weren’t turning on and it’d get me rear ended at some point. I finally googled it and realized that the lights activate based on deceleration speed, not brake method. It was a relief I guess but I also wish there was just a more reliable way of, like, talking to cars behind you.

I don’t think you need the screen to light up with a brake light indication but I do think the manufacturers generally haven’t communicated how brake lights work with regen braking. Brake lights are such an important signal on the roads and I think they could probably be speaking more to it.

300 miles of range means it outclasses most of the competitors in the sub-$40k price bracket. Even if it comes with a massive markup it might still be worth it.

Facing a problem where my Kona EV occasionally refuses to connect to any phone via Bluetooth and you’ll have to turn off the car for, like, ten minutes and turn it back on to get CarPlay working again. If you turn it on sooner the car’s computer won’t have powered off because it stays in sleep mode for a while. It seems like the problem is the car computer and I wish there was a way to just press restart like with literally any other electronic device. We’ve been in absurd situations where we’ve had to sit in a parking lot in 90 degree weather for ten minutes, just waiting for the computer to turn off.

Happy Noodle Boy posted:If you haven’t seen many Doug videos it may seem odd but the dude is literally a golden retriever of car reviews, every little bitty quirky thing the car has is cool to him wether it’s been doing a thousand times before. That said it’s a $100k car. Of course it’s great. I also think no one really needs half the wild features that are jacking up this car’s price, and some of the inconveniences — like using the screen to adjust mirrors and the lack of blind spot cameras — are safety compromises I wouldn’t want to have if I were paying that much.
