I use EA 99% of the time to charge my Ioniq 6. It’s been a great experience other than the 2 times the station was full. Charges 20-80% in 19 mins even at a 150kw station
Great video! I have an EV6, the 800 volt charging is key! Even on the 150kw stations, the charge never takes more than 20 minutes for my to continue my trip. Usually charging between 20-80%. The car juices up in just enough time to get out, use the bathroom, pick up a drink, and head back out on the road. \
0:55 - I so much appreciate this video. Thank you for providing. A great how-to for first-time Ioniq 6 buyers. I'm seriously considering one, and this process to find stations puts me at immediate ease. I am most curious about how often Hyundai updates those charging station maps, and if it's instantly OTA. Eg; if new 350kw stations come online, how soon will their maps reflect those new stations.
How many bad charging encounters did you have with broken or faulty chargers? You made it look flawless, but we know the truth about EV Go and electrify America network and it’s not good…
You are right, a lot of progress is still needed! I sent the negatives in on twitter. Each station had at least 1 issue (only used Electrify America). The main issues were: 350kW charger only feeding like 30kW (charger side error), inactive chargers, and broken connectors. Overall it was a decent experience for a road-trip, I must say.
Thank you for the reminder Pat! I drive roughly 230 miles & spent roughly $40 on charging during this road trip Would have been less expensive if I was charging from home & not paying $0.48 per kWh
@@PeterBarba Brand new car, 2 years free EA charging. I usually only charge at EA on a road trip but it's nice to have especially when it hovers around 240kw.
@@markshellard Great video, "Lectrium", and great comment, Mark. Very useful for someone like me considering their first battery EV, and, like you, drawn to the Hyundai Ioniq 6. Electrify America has many charging stations here in the Mountain West, and many seem to have the same difficulties (non- functioning/mal-functioning stations) as you mention.
This is a pretty bad review. If you're taking a long trip, you should start the EV at 100%. I've done dozens of DC to NYC trips in my Ioniq5 amd only need to stop once in NJ to make it. There is no mention of your range (miles / kWh) in the review so we can compare efficiency to cars like the Tesla M3.
The anonymous internet is notorious for haters, but there are times when legitimate criticism is necessary to help the content creator improve his/her content. In this case, this was a pretty poor review. Some of the things that in my opinion need improvement: Introduce the car's trim (which he only mentions in the end) and talk about the estimated range. Show charging progress along different times in the charging process. Show errors that you encounter on different chargers, talk a little more about the drive...like: the speeds along your drive, the traffic, the miles per kwh, etc. What the temps were like, the actual miles you traveled between charging sessions. Frankly, as personal videos of a first drive in an EV goes, this was a decent video. As a "review" of the *drive* and the *charging* this was a pretty terrible video. By the number of subscribers its evident they are new at this and nobody hits a home run the first time at bat. I will watch other videos from this channel as long as they improve as they go along.
You should have gone to Atlantic City, then you would have gone from DC to AC. 😊

Yep! 800V architecture is really key to road trip charging, I totally agree 💡

How long did it take?
So much anxiety with EA lol

Notice he didn't tells the # of miles he went and how much he spent on the charging.

I also left the car at 80% state of charge for the turo owner at drop off ⚡️👍

Talks too fast.
