Nice! I own a 2024 one of these, my 3rd EV during the last 13 years, all "fueled" on sunshine from my roof. As for the rear window wiper, the digital rearview mirror in my Ioniq 5 solves that problem marvelously! It is so great that I wouldn't WANT a rear window wiper now. As for the digital side mirrors, they don't allow them (yet?) in this country. Thanks for sharing this interview, Sarah!
What a great interview subject. He's a natural. And he's right. I would drive my Lucid if it ran on coal and ground up baby seals(jk). Nothing beats the feeling of driving electric.
Got my I5 limited a few months ago, it is so fun to drive, heats and cools so much faster than my previous gas cars, comfortable and quiet ride, not having to buy gas or do oil changes anymore is just a bonus. I would add that people should not just go out and buy and EV without doing some research into your charging options. Track how many miles you drive a day and look up how long it takes to put those miles back into the car with the charging options you have near your home or work. I know a few people that thought they could get by with level 1 charging and couldn't keep up with their daily usage and had to rush to get a level 2 charger installed.
The Kia EV6 has NO rear wiper and that (along with its screaming high price) put me right off buying it, even though I love its design. The new Kia EV9 has a rear wiper which tucks away into the rear spoiler at the top of the window. So simple! I bought the Ioniq 6 which has no rear wiper either, but it does not need one at all as the air flow carries the rain, and the dust away from the rear window VERY effectively.
I've found the EV6 doesn't need a 'rear wiper' . The air flow washes the rear glass of water. The angle of the hatch is steeper than the ioniq5. On gravel roads or with loose snow, the dust or snow accumulates on the rear of the car not the glass. If you are parked outside you do have to manually wipe accumulated snow or dirt off the glass( just like the side windows) but the heated glass takes care of snow or ice as you drive. I do apply a hydrophobic spray to the front windshield and rear glass every few months. This is in Ontario Canada 🍁 we get all the weather 😂, Most roads are paved, the gravel roads can get dusty or muddy though.
@@JohnRoss1 yeah, I am talking about dust accumulation rather than snow. Dust on the rear screen does NOT just fall off nor get pulled off by heating. A steeper angled rear screen is going to be an airflow eddy point.
4:01 - THREE TONNE trailer! 😳 Somebody had better tell Phil that his Ioniq 5 is only rated to tow a 1,600kg (1.6 tonne) load in Australia, with power trailer brakes. His insurance company will NOT be happy about his farm load.
On public roads I stick to the 1,600kg braked limit, but for around the farm the car has no problem pulling a much heavier (dual axle) trailer - carefully loaded to keep the towball weight no greater than Hyundai approves. Much more comfortable than the tractor!
Yes please, ask an owner not haters on the internet/tube
That's what I figured. Time to hear from real people.
Great to hear from actual owners!
Great to hear the love for the driving experience.
As an Ioniq 5 driver. I love this car. I usually don’t like driving SUVs but this thing is amazing. I have home charging. It’s great
Nice! I’ve had my Ioniq 5 for three years. Handing back for an Ioniq 5 N. Sweet
Ooooph let me know me know what you think of it.
I Envy you that I5N my wife would probably kill me.

Hyundai Ioniq 6 Epiq (top-of-range model) is supplied with digital side mirrors in Australia, so clearly they ARE permitted.
@@petesig93 Okay. But NOT in my country (USA).
Pleasure. M
More to come!
Thank you for this! I always said I would go to an electric vehicle if I could get a 4wd one. Well I am very impressed!
This guys a hoot. Thanks for sharing Sarah, love it!
Thanks!
What a great interview subject. He's a natural.
And he's right. I would drive my Lucid if it ran on coal and ground up baby seals(jk). Nothing beats the feeling of driving electric.
Isn't he? Wow a Lucid, wish we had them here.
@@ElectrifyThis Some day. Lucid has global expansion plans, but these things take time.
Thanks Sarah and Phil great tour and love the authenticity 😍

This is really great advice. Plus the Ioniq 5 is one of my favourite cars I’ve test driven so far. 😎
Thanks Phil, thanks Sarah, one of thousands of good EV stories!
You got Young Phil! He’s FAMOUS!!! Great interview ❤
He was so fun!
Thanks another happy EV owner
Good on Phil!
Need more EVs around
Completely agree.
Came here from Ludicrous Feed (Tom)
Amazing. Love Tom's work.
I am getting a rear wiper on mine.
That would certainly be my preference
Thanks for that. I didn’t know they were 4wd. I’m curious as to the price of this. I will go and look it up.
AWD and a brilliant car. I reviewed this variant a while back and it's beautiful and super practical.
I have a 2018 honda crv and I never use the rear wiper but the slope is more like 90 degrees. Maybe they could just do something like that?
apparently Evs can also drive in Transit lanes in NSW since 2022.
Yeah, that is what he said 🤔
@@petesig93 i must have missed hearing that part.
How's ICCU recall going on in Australia????
well I think
Mine has 12,000+ miles. Never ICE again.
Love it
mine has 18000 miles. Never ICE again.

No hype. Just a great review from an actual owner. Well done, Sarah.
