    Had mine a month and it's certainly interesting. Love driving it, love that you can swap snow mode for a custom mode which you can make better than sport mode, love the hot seats and lava like steering wheel when it's cold. Love the look. I find the infotainment OK, baggy on start up but otherwise fine, love the door design and ambient lighting. Really enjoy using the paddles to play with regeneration, it's adds a more involved element if you want it. Stereo is meh, the eco processed materials they use are questionable, I have a deep scratch in my dashboard from a light tap of a finger that didn't have long nails. I opened the driver door and noticed a recess with some foam insulation visible, when I touch it it moved back into the wing and released a load of moisture-sure fire rust trap. they're selling so few my dealer doesn't have a single one in and sales are down 60% A 50k car that's 30k after a year is shocking but hey it's an ev. That being said if you were to buy a one year old AWD 6 in Ultimate trim for 30k your gonna be driving with a huge grin wherever you go.

    • @EVJACK
      @EVJACK 5 днів тому

      Hi mate thanks for your reply, You're absolutely right about the sound system. It's a total letdown! I can't believe they advertise it as Bose. The infotainment is a nightmare too-slow, unresponsive, and just not what you'd expect from a car like this. It's a shame, because the rest of the car is really nice. I love the LED lighting and the cool door designs. And I know it sounds weird, but I've actually grown to like the window controls in the middle! I've heard sales haven't been great, and I can see why. Would you buy another Ioniq 6, or are you waiting for the new infotainment system they're supposed to release in 2027?

    • @cyruslad5462
      @cyruslad5462 5 днів тому

      @EVJACK I'm on a three year lease so that would be perfect timing. I chose the 6 for its unique looks and rare road presence but I have to say I love the way it drives. I would have another but the AWD and I'd wait for the refresh. I hope they keep at it because the cars good. On day 2 I got quotes for stereo update, I asked for something just to add more depth. I was quoted 1300 for an amp and sub and 3300 for 6 speakers amp and sub, apparently it's set up to make it very difficult to upgrade without changing everything. Needless to say I didn't bother. Ditch some of the eco crap interior for a quality feel and fix the highlighted areas and I think it's a 9/10 car. Oh and for the love of God will someone tell me how to change from DAB to Bluetooth media. In Bluetooth the menu has a media choice option but not in DAB so you have to use voice control, it's slowly sending me mad🤣

    • @EVJACK
      @EVJACK 5 днів тому

      Totally agree with you on the unique look and road presence - it definitely stands out which is why I chose it too. I’ve heard a few people say the AWD version is the way to go, wishing I upgraded to that model now 🤣 That stereo upgrade quote is wild though 😳 It’s a shame they make it so hard to improve the sound system without overhauling everything. I know you can by a DSP amplifier for around £500 which could be a cheaper alternative to getting more control over each speaker. Hopefully Hyundai will address stuff like that in the refresh. As for the DAB to Bluetooth media switch - yeah, I feel your pain! The voice control workaround isn't the best. I’ll try to dig around and see if there’s an easier way, but if anyone else knows a quicker solution, feel free to jump in! Thanks for sharing your thoughts, and hopefully they keep improving what’s already a solid car!

    I can see no 'epic charger disaster' in this video. Why the clickbait title? For the record, in 42 months of driving our EV, we've only found one charger which wasn't delivering the expected current to the car. It was running at about 40% of the advertised speed. A quick swap to an adjacent charger, and things were back to normal. Other than that, running an EV has been far less hassle than using a petrol car and having to take up to an hour to obtain a tank full of fuel. There were no shortages or special occasions; it's just normal around this city on busy weekdays. Anyhow, thanks for the video. I wish you many years of happy driving.

Instavolt have a new offer, after 10pm its 56p/kw Love the car and even though it's only RWD it performs really well, good torque and plenty for safe overtaking. Unfortunately the Bose system is an utter disgrace but my quote of 1400-3300 to upgrade it has got me trying to appreciate it a bit more😂

Have you made any modifications to yours? Mate don’t! The amount of hate I have for the Bose is crazy, even when tweaking the eq it still sounds meh. Christ! Have you not just thought about swapping the amplifier?

  • @TobyArnold-sr7fu
    @TobyArnold-sr7fu 28 днів тому

    Hi Jack, interesting to see what you are doing, I'd consider any charger 150kW or above to be a good charger to stop at, the Ioniq 6 along with the Kia EV6, the Genesis GV60 and the Hyundai Ioniq 5 use the E-GMP and its 800 volt architecture, all benefit from speedy charging however the maximum you will see is up to 233 kW, so even at a 350kW charger you will never alas see a rate of 350. We consider anything over 200 good at a 350 kW charger and tbh 120 to 140 that you can see at a 150 kW charger still does not take too long (its still faster than many pother EVs will do). I am interested in your process of small amounts and regularly, it is what they say is the best (as in quickest) way, although I have tended to plug in and leave whilst I have gone for a bite to eat, a toilet break etc and made it my one stop for the day, at times finding when I return to the car it has fully charged and stopped, rather than 10 minutes here and another 10 minutes there.

    • @EVJACK
      @EVJACK 26 днів тому

      Hi Toby, Thanks for your reply and for taking the time to watch my videos, I appreciate your time and comment. I made fewer, shorter stops due to the distance I was driving. This allowed me to stretch my legs without spending too much time charging. While some people prefer longer stops, I'm not entirely sure why. I would have thought longer stops would be beneficial, but as I'm not an EV expert, I'm unsure about the real advantages of each approach. Regarding charging speeds, I'll definitely consider your advice. 150 kW seems like a decent speed. It's disappointing that the price is the same regardless of whether you use a 350 kW or 150 kW charger. Based on your experience, what are the main factors to consider when choosing between shorter, more frequent stops and longer, less frequent stops for EV charging during a long trip?

    • @TobyArnold-sr7fu
      @TobyArnold-sr7fu 26 днів тому

      Hi Jack, for me it would be how long it takes you to get to the charger, particularly if it was 150kW plus. Given the speed these chargers, I think stopping to charge to 80% is generally so quick that it outweighs the time to drive to the charger, plug in and start charging, unplugging and then driving off (I guess it depends how close they are to your route as well). Now if I was getting low on charge (rarely get below 20%) and there was only a say 50kW charger there and I faster one not that far away, I might consider just a very quick top-up, before moving on to a faster charger, however I've not found I've had to do that by planning my route first. I'm not sure there is a best solution, or an answer as to what is the best. For me, I'm often happy for a slightly longer break, less often, as I usually combine with a stop to eat, and as I have back issues, sometimes to recline the seat fully and have a lie down (it is better for my back than getting out and having a walk around to stretch my legs), whereas for others they perhaps prefer shorter stops more frequently. I think it is whatever works for you.

    V3 Superchargers will only give 100 kW to the Ioniq 6. This is due to the lower voltage provided by the Tesla charger and Huyndai's on board DC to DC converter. Some other 800v architecture cars only get 50kW. Sadly, battery conditioning here will not help. I just drove 1,150 miles over 2 day (Chicago to Orlando) and spent just 86 minutes or charging time.
