The EV Taco looks sweet but yeah, it'll be 100k here so what's the point lol

Alpine 12-14-2021 06:55 PM

Nice! It’ll be 2035 before I’ll be able to find any of these on the lot! But sarcasm aside, a lot of really great, clean designs here.

IONIQ 5 has arrived in Vancouver

The first picture kinda makes it look weird, and still can't judge how big it is. But most EVs seem kinda big.

Ioniq 5 legitimately has me interested. Think they really killed it with the design of it.

TypeRNammer 12-17-2021 08:28 PM

Wow the Ioniq 5 looks pretty good, very futuristic.

It does look pretty good ... any concern that it is Hyundai or do you think they have gone over the hump in terms of quality and reliability? Had a friend with 1st gen Genesis coupe, paint in bumper started to go and it looked like sh*t after a few years.


Nio Eve ... concept.

Hyundais have been great for years now. Have a tesla model 3 LR and had an ioniq phev before that and loved it. Way less problems than my tesla

inv4zn 12-20-2021 03:41 PM

Stood next to an Ioniq 5 at openroad hyundai today, they are bigger than they appear in media.

The design is definitely a bit out there, and no idea how it'll age, but it is striking for sure.

What problems did you have on your Model 3?

tegra7 12-21-2021 07:25 AM

Saw an Ioniq 5 fall off a car carrier on hwy 99 In surrey on Friday. If your delivery was unexpectedly delayed this might be why.

Mmmm yes quite :notbad: they should build these along highway 1

Across the pond, Toyota UK announces the BZ4X will have a starting price of $42,000 pounds, converted about $72,000 CAD

Just a matter of time now until the Canadian pricing is announced

I hope this never happens, it’s clear that the government is slowly heading towards building a society where they eventually eliminate driving for all the p00rs and force everyone except for wealthy people to use ride share and Uber type services for everything… this is just an example of it being enacted today.

For those who have EV vehicles I'm curious.

Do you find yourself charging them everyday?
Do you like to keep your battery topped off?
Do you find yourself using the complete range of the battery?
Do you use only 20-80% of the charge capacity?

I'm curious because this just might be me but I find myself only using the top 20-30% of battery and I tend to plug it in every day as I only have access to a 120 outlet.

JDMDreams 12-28-2021 08:51 AM

Do you find yourself charging them everyday? Yes
Do you like to keep your battery topped off? Yes, at reduced limit around 80% of max capacity
Do you find yourself using the complete range of the battery? Maybe once a week down below 100km remaining range
Do you use only 20-80% of the charge capacity? Yes

Basically just plug it in when ever you're home so you know that the car is ready to go the next day. Keeps the battery topped up especially in this weather, where the battery drains faster. And if you only have 120v it's most likely not even gotta be fully charged every day, you might be leaving the house around 60 70% charge, depending on how much you drive a day.

tegra7 12-28-2021 09:28 AM

Do you find yourself charging them everyday? Always plug in when I get home(NEMA 14-50)

Do you like to keep your battery topped off? Yes

Do you find yourself using the complete range of the battery? Never

Do you use only 20-80% of the charge capacity? Hardly use more than 35%

1. Yes I charge everyday because I only have access to an 110 outlet

2. Yes I keep the battery sitting at 90%

3. Most of the time we use a quarter of the range but due to the cold weather, battery gets depleted quicker.

2018 Leaf with the 42 kwh battery pack.

Do you find yourself charging them everyday? Yes, 120 V
Do you like to keep your battery topped off? Yes
Do you find yourself using the complete range of the battery? Generally no but after moving, I am driving a lot more and numerous times have gotten down to 10% or less.
Do you use only 20-80% of the charge capacity? yes quite a bit and with the winter, I have the heat on more.

Since I have 240v at home, I really don't think about the range or keeping it topped off or anything. We just use the car, if I notice its low (sometimes 60%, sometimes 30%), I'll just plug it in. I probably think about charging less than i think about my gas tank on an ICE car.

JDMDreams 12-28-2021 03:05 PM

That's the thing I like about ev, just go home and plug it in like your phone. Don't have to worry about the gas price, if gas is sold out. Car has more range than when you parked it last night. Imagine lining up and standing in the freezing wind to gas up your car for 10 mins.

MarkyMark 12-28-2021 06:39 PM

I filled up my truck today, somehow I'm still alive and better yet, I know I still have a sack.
