Corbin, in this Pinned section the links do not work. They do work in the section under the video. Love all your videos and best of luck doing it full-time!
Ioniq Guy, try getting some news on the Hyundai ioniq 2. That's the one that's supposed to be under $25,000. I hope they use NACS and keep the plug on the driver side. I hope the range is 300 miles.
Glad to see you become a full time Senior Ioniq Test Engineer. You're very great at testing everything and being honest. Keep spreading the great word!
I LOVE the look of the Ioniq 6. It's the primary reason that I selected it over the 5. It would be a shame to dumb down the design language, but I guess it really is an Applebee's world, isn't it?
We are loving our 24 IONIC 6. Finally, a proper sedan. great design, certain to become a classic. Comfortable to drive. Efficient. And an incredible lease deal.
I agree. I bought a 2025 Ioniq 6 last month. I'd thought about waiting for the 2026 to get the bigger battery and manual preconditioning, but I decided not to wait because I really do like the look of the current version. For that matter, if they sacrifice some of the aerodynamics of the design in favor of a more mainstream look, it could be that will counteract the larger battery when it comes to range.
Good luck with the channel in 2025 from UK 🇬🇧 Thanks to you and some UK UA-cam reviewers I ordered an Ioniq 5 RWD 84 Ultimate 2025, my first ever EV replacing my 2.2 diesel Santa Fe. My wall charger is being installed tomorrow and the car is being delivered 17th January. Wife took a bit of talking round but once I let her choose the colour (£500 option 😮) she's now looking forward to delivery day as much as me. I know US - UK specs and infrastructure differs but your channel has been really helpful in me taking the leap into EV's. Thanks again Corbin & Happy New Year to you and your family 👍 Steve
Congrats on doing this full time. Wish you the best of luck and definitely going to be buying that auto unlock module soon. Keep up the great work and i do hope you find some sponsors you vibe with to keep the channel going.
Can you please talk about the insane amount of hyundai recalls? I bought my ioniq 5 about a month ago and I've already had to take it into the shop five times for software update, two recalls, and creaking steering wheel
Really? I have had my Iniq 6 for 16 months. There have been three updates. One was OTA, one was done at the first service, and one was an ICCU recall. There is another recall for a further ICCU matter and my car is booked for it later this month.
Good luck with the channel in 2025, and with the new Ioniq 5! As for Kia, I wish they would slow down on introducing new models and focus on getting the ones they have right
Congrats Corbin on taking that decision! I really like your channel and it keeps me updated on our EV world (I own a Kona EV 2024). I really like your content and I'll continue watching in the future. Best regards and good luck!
Great news, both about the cars and about your life circumstances. Good luck with the new working arrangements.. 5:30 - that front end on the Ioniq 6! How to take a great looking front end and ruin it, all for twinky zip-line headlights 😥 Not enthused AT ALL.
CONGRATS! Thanks for making the lock device. It helps lots of people. If you have the power, please push for Updates for older models (2years old really) is all ask for (kia & Hyundai)
Love all your vids and content. So happy we came across your channel after being a new Ioniq 5 (and first time EV) owner a month ago! Have learned so much. We love our 2022 Ioniq 5 so far.
Hi Corbin! Happy New yr.... Tour channel going to be even more impressive! What's the latest how tesla chargers display will be ran through the Hyundai & Kia's informative systems? Hope it will be smooth to search for them. Happy 2025! Steve
Great decision. There's plenty of content to be covered and would love to see more people at another cars and coffee. Maybe in the spring? I'll be back at palmer motor sports in May fr a ride along! Have an excellent new year!
Ioniq 6 is one of the best looking cars imo. Not many here in australia at all but no matter where i go people turn around to take a second look. Had some great chats to all kinds of people
Bought a couple of glasses holders and a cup enlarger. Both arrived quickly and they are fantastic. Thanks so much and best of luck going forward. BTW, I worked at SIkorsky Aircraft 24 years ago when they were owned by United Technologies. I worked on several projects including the Comanche helicopter.
Congrats on your new situation in Boston. You do seem happier in your demeanor in general and having fun. I can't believe I missed the meetup. Is there a place where I can signup for notifications about events like that?
I bought the automatic locking device for my gv60 performance and I love it! So glad you offered it. I have a question about all the new models coming out with the new charge ports. Since electrify America uses the current standard plugs does this mean the new models can only use Tesla superchargers?
Excited to see the channel grow in 2025! EVgo has disappeared from the list of chargers in my Ioniq 6 and no one seems to know why. Do you have any insite?
0:57 That's cool you worked for Pratt and Whitney! I am actively working towards becoming an airline pilot and passed my instrument rating checkride today! I have three more ratings to get and then I will hopefully get a job at a commuter or regional airline as a first officer. Happy to support the channel!
Yeah man! Before manterial development I worked in the test stands operating the high speed data system for experimental engine test. I'm actually 4th generation at Pratt. My great grandfather started there when they opened in the early 1920s. It's been cool keeping that family tradition alive. Wow, congratulations! I always wanted to get my license but MSFS has gotten so good that it feeds that desire. Good luck with all your future tests. Hopefully I can fly with you as my pilot one day
@@TheIoniqGuy Thanks!! I really appreciate it! I'm also a huge MSFS fan too. That's awesome about the family history at P&W! Hopefully when I get to become an airline pilot in a few years we can make that happen!
Like hearing your insights so please keep them coming. One thing to consider is going into detail on what Hyundai and Genesis should do on the service side. Imho first Korean car maker to get close to Lexus service with their lineup of EVs wins and will massively steal share from Tesla and Rivian too. But that remains a serious drawback today.
Please add a few videos regarding AC charging in the winter and comparing the real input into the battery (using eg car scanner). Because i assume that with cold outside temperatures the battery is not accepting full load. Same happens if you charge from the house power socket in cold weather. Seems nobody wants to talk about it or test it.
I live in Scandinavia where we get temps below freezing and I charge outside. We have 3 fase charging and the E-GMP cars take 11 kw. There’s no difference between summer and winter. The car will receive 11 kw (or a bit more) after losses of about 10%.
I suspected that you had gone full-time youtube creator when you participated in the I-90 road trip. My Ioniq-5 has performed like a champion since i got it. I have used it on trips ftom Georgia to Texas, Ohio, Virginia, Apex NC, and in March we are visiting friends in Boston.😊
As deliveries for the Ioniq 5 refresh appear on lots, I am curious as to how the deals will go down. I am seeing some VIN numbers now with an MSRP. Will you start a data gathering request on this channel to see what the folks are seeing. I too am waiting for a 2025, RWD SEL or LTD. I see the car I want as in transit to a dealer near me and would like to pounce on it but have no idea what I should ask for as a discount if any. Thanks!
Yeah I’m not really sure what to expect. There really aren’t a ton of 2024s left on lots so they may not want to start alienating potential buyers with markups like we saw back in 2022 when the car first went on sale. I will certainly be avoiding any dealers that add on markups and will not recommend anybody fall for them. I know there are quite a few 2022 owners that paid sometimes up to $10k over MSRP and are now deeply upside down on their loans because of it. Keep me posted on what you’re seeing
I’m going to make the prediction that there will not be widespread markup and there won’t be deals on 2025 for a while either. I don’t think the EVs have the kind of draw that they did before as most haven’t held their value well. Personally I’ve also gotten used to the Ioniq 5 having a big discount so even if they don’t do markups it will feel like a price increase. Since I don’t have an urgent need for a new car I’m only going to buy right away if the tax credit survives long enough and they have my car in the color and trim I want with no markup. Otherwise I don’t mind waiting a while and letting the factory build a lot of these and get any kinks out if necessary. I’m very curious to see how Corbin’s Ioniq turns out as he’ll surely be getting one of the earliest builds.
Everyone who says the EV6 charge port moved to the “correct” side for superchargers needs to include two asterisks: V3 and “even though it won’t get full charge speed from a V3 supercharger.” Good on you for including that V3 caveat!
Good question… It’s really sad because the Ioniq 6 is an incredible car. Selling sedans in the North American market is really difficult these days. I hope they continue selling it in North America.
Because EVs are too expensive and already rely on government to even be viable. Most of the sales in NA they do have are because of leases or state rebates in the US or fed/price rebates in Canada. At full price they would probably have a quarter of the sales they do now.
@@Snerdles The average automobile in the 1900's cost over $100,000 in todays money. And they faced a thousand times worst problems than today's EV's. (There were no paved roads. No gas stations anywhere. The range was between 10 and 20 miles. They broke down constantly and no one knew how to fix them. People were being mamed just starting them, etc.) How'd that work out?
@@Supernova1300 The trunk opening is a little bit cumbersome, but if you are aware of its limitations, you just work with it. I have a Bolt EV and a Sprinter in cases where I can’t fit something in the Ioniq 6. For me, it is a great choice for roadtrips. It will accommodate all the luggage that my wife and I need and gets us there very comfortably.
How do you think the EV4 hatch in the photos will be positioned against the EV6 they look a similar car in size and type. The part glass C pillar on the concept seems to have been carried into the production car which should improve driver visibility and light for rear passengers.
Thanks for the video. I will be a new Ioniq 5, 2025 buyer/lessee. Do you have a video discussing the Level 2 chargers to use with the 2025 Ioniq 5? Thanks, Steve
Wishing you a great 2025! Love your channel, I own the new 2024 Kona here in Australia. Got to see the EV5 in person as you are right it is for sale here in Australia and it's not a small car bigger than the new Kona. EV3 hasn't arrived yet but is on it's way and suspect once it does Kia will stop sale of the Niro EV as they have done in Germany for example. I'm curious to see the Hyundai equivalents though of the EV3 & 5. I also like the Ioniq 6 so hope they don't ruin it with their refresh. Just to add getting free things to review doesn't mean you're a stooge to the company or sell-out as some may say, look at Tom Moloughney he gets L2 EVSE's to review all the time. It's about your integrity and as long as you are honest and explain the pros and cons of a product just means the manufacturer overlooked something and may need to look at a refresh when the time comes particularly if you're not the only one mentioning it. If you get free things to review just maintain your integrity and be honest that is something that is key. :)
I’m wondering what a NACS retrofit would involve. Would be sweet if it is possible without needing a new ICCU. There’s probably too much software to change that makes this infeasible, but you never know.
It's not software, with NACS the AC and DC charging use the same pins, so there is a lot of different hardware needed beyond just a different port on the car.
@@TheIoniqGuy Yes, the 2 different adapters do the job of rerouting the pins when you are charging on AC or DC. That is all designed into the ICCU on vehicles with NACS ports.
I went to my dealership in the Netherlands for the 84kwh basic version. The only thing i wanted was a heat pump but it turned out that the first two levels NO heat pump have installed!! So i thanked him and am now going to buy a '23 model (one level lower then topmodel). I now have the '23 model 58kwh ioniq5. I am curious if the heat pump is also not included in the first two levels in the USA
There was a rumor that the EV3 would not come to Canada. Now that you saw that it's not coming to the US, that rumor may very well be true. A pity 😞 in any case I'm planning to get the Ioniq 5 2025 next year, hopefully in August and at worst in December. Thanks for the video, Corbin!
Content creator is at least much better than influencer. Technician is another term that fits assuming you like it. You are self employed so you get to make the rules. Congratulations and I hope it all works out for you both.
Wonder if the ionic 6 will have the NACS port on rear driver side, that would rock!!! I believe Hyundai has improved the rear motor inverter to allow 135KW charging on the Tesla version 3 superchargers which in my opinion is enough to relieve my issues here in western Canada with the CCS reliability problems.
Any infrastructure updates? For example, will Hyundai release a supported NACS adapter like Ford has? Will Tesla support a faster charging rate for Hyundai or Kia (with or without the Magic Dock)?
Hyundai says they are manufacturing their own adapter unlike Ford which just resells Tesla's or Lectron's. 2025 Ioniq 5 will be able to charge at up to 130kW and it sounds like nothing will change for 22-24 which means 100kW max.
Corbin, let me double check I was looking at a 2025 KIA EV9 at a dealer (located on Vancouver Island BC) (on line only) he mentioned it had a NACS, but I'll get an image to prove it and let you know.
Darn it is a standard CCS charging port on the Canadian Delivered 2025 EV9, but never stop wishing! Goes to show that not all the dealers are trained very well on EV's.
The NACS port isn;t really a good thing for most Hyundai/Kia/Genesis EVs. Yes, it opens the up to another charging network, but at the cost of charging speed. I've charged my EV6 on a TErsla MagicDock, and it was beyond slow. I knowyou like that idea, but I will stick with CCS until Tesla improves their network.
I very like the KIA/Hyundai brand. Unfortunately, there EVs are too expensive here in Thailand - even when made in China. It may become better after Hyundai has opened its factory in Thailand. Currently I drive a BYD Dolphin and I am very impressed of this brand.
i want a Hyundai ioniq 5 pickup truck/Ute variant just like what the original Hyundai pony had which is what the ioniq 5 design is ment to be call back to/ spiritual successor
Good luck and this frustrates me from the UK, you see all those great Kia ones you won't be getting because of protectionism. So whether ICE or EV you guys just end up with a limited range and the US makers produce, LBH, substandard compared to everyone else.
great video here is fyi for the remaining ICE users. There are more than 40 chemicals listed for cancer present in engine exhaust. These include benzene, arsenic, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, 1,3-butadiene, lead, and numerous polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.not caught by converters .. .. .With non-smokers and smokers, Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer death in the United States for both men and women. More men die of lung cancer more than the next two most deadly types of cancer for men (prostate and colorectal) combined !
Congrats on your decision! Wishing you the best. I think the Ioniq 6 is not doing well because, in my opinion, it's a very unattractive and impractical car. Hopefully Hyundai will start with a fresh sheet of paper and come up with something more compelling.

Yeah it's quite complex. I'd say with 99% certainty that it'll never be an upgrade for existing cars. This is why adapters exist.
@@TheIoniqGuy Yes, the 2 different adapters do the job of rerouting the pins when you are charging on AC or DC. That is all designed into the ICCU on vehicles with NACS ports.
I went to my dealership in the Netherlands for the 84kwh basic version.
The only thing i wanted was a heat pump but it turned out that the first two levels NO heat pump have installed!!
So i thanked him and am now going to buy a '23 model (one level lower then topmodel).
I now have the '23 model 58kwh ioniq5.
I am curious if the heat pump is also not included in the first two levels in the USA
I personally like the Ioniq 6 being less common as the Ioniq 5. Both are amazing but I really love my Ioniq 6 SEL
The beard is critical for your health (/s just in case lol). Glad you're in good health!
There was a rumor that the EV3 would not come to Canada. Now that you saw that it's not coming to the US, that rumor may very well be true. A pity 😞 in any case I'm planning to get the Ioniq 5 2025 next year, hopefully in August and at worst in December. Thanks for the video, Corbin!
Content creator is at least much better than influencer. Technician is another term that fits assuming you like it. You are self employed so you get to make the rules. Congratulations and I hope it all works out for you both.
Any idea when the 2025 Ioniq 5 is going to actually arrive? Been looking at that XRT trim.
Wonder if the ionic 6 will have the NACS port on rear driver side, that would rock!!! I believe Hyundai has improved the rear motor inverter to allow 135KW charging on the Tesla version 3 superchargers which in my opinion is enough to relieve my issues here in western Canada with the CCS reliability problems.
Cudos for chasing your dreams. It takes cajones!!
Job Well Done
Who do we have to talk to about an easier way to turn on battery preconditioning?
Any infrastructure updates? For example, will Hyundai release a supported NACS adapter like Ford has? Will Tesla support a faster charging rate for Hyundai or Kia (with or without the Magic Dock)?
Hyundai says they are manufacturing their own adapter unlike Ford which just resells Tesla's or Lectron's. 2025 Ioniq 5 will be able to charge at up to 130kW and it sounds like nothing will change for 22-24 which means 100kW max.
Corbin, let me double check I was looking at a 2025 KIA EV9 at a dealer (located on Vancouver Island BC) (on line only) he mentioned it had a NACS, but I'll get an image to prove it and let you know.
Darn it is a standard CCS charging port on the Canadian Delivered 2025 EV9, but never stop wishing! Goes to show that not all the dealers are trained very well on EV's.
I am going to buy an Ioniq 5 in 2025 and would like to know what price I should hope to negotiate toward.
You forgot the hyundai inster.
The NACS port isn;t really a good thing for most Hyundai/Kia/Genesis EVs. Yes, it opens the up to another charging network, but at the cost of charging speed. I've charged my EV6 on a TErsla MagicDock, and it was beyond slow. I knowyou like that idea, but I will stick with CCS until Tesla improves their network.
I hope they gonna fix this iccu failure
Kia EV5 would do great in US. Unfortunately they chose 400v and China assembly to lower the cost. 800v version made in US would sell a ton.
Lucky if they have sold 150 ioniq 6 in Australia
I very like the KIA/Hyundai brand. Unfortunately, there EVs are too expensive here in Thailand - even when made in China. It may become better after Hyundai has opened its factory in Thailand. Currently I drive a BYD Dolphin and I am very impressed of this brand.
The Kia EV3 is a great replacement to my 2020 Soul EV limited, time to let my daughter have ours and get a new Kia EV3!
i want a Hyundai ioniq 5 pickup truck/Ute variant just like what the original Hyundai pony had which is what the ioniq 5 design is ment to be call back to/ spiritual successor
Waiting for ionic 5 2025
I could use a coin holder for my Ioniq 5.
Well I bought a 22 SEL and then traded it in on a 24 Limited... Wife not gonna let me buy a 25.
Good luck and this frustrates me from the UK, you see all those great Kia ones you won't be getting because of protectionism. So whether ICE or EV you guys just end up with a limited range and the US makers produce, LBH, substandard compared to everyone else.
You forgot KIA PV5.
You’re right!
I am really looking forward to replacing my EV6 with the EV3.
Congrats. Good decision to remain independent. I dislike the sponsored creators. Can’t trust their reviews.
You should change your name to the.... Ionic EV6 Genesis Guy
Congratulations on being full time. How about Influencer/Producer.
great video here is fyi for the remaining ICE users.

More men die of lung cancer more than the next two most deadly types of cancer for men (prostate and colorectal) combined !
Influencer?
Congrats on your decision! Wishing you the best.
I think the Ioniq 6 is not doing well because, in my opinion, it's a very unattractive and impractical car. Hopefully Hyundai will start with a fresh sheet of paper and come up with something more compelling.
No Paid you tubers but who cares
Thanks!
Thank you so much! Happy new year
Everyone who says the EV6 charge port moved to the “correct” side for superchargers needs to include two asterisks: V3 and “even though it won’t get full charge speed from a V3 supercharger.” Good on you for including that V3 caveat!
Thanks!
Thank you so much! Happy new year 🍻
