Captain Slow Charging
I have another Hyundai EV on order for next summer. After mulling it over for a week or two, I ended up signing the forms for a 64kWh Kona in the fully loaded Style trim. The other option would have been the Ioniq 5 with the 2023 upgrades, but it would have been a bit more in every respect and I'll rather drive a frugal pocket rocket to the office than an RWD SUV that cannot match the efficiency - plus the winter tire package for the Ioniq 5 would have been considerably more expensive. I should be handing the Ioniq 38kWh over and getting the Kona around late spring/early summer 2023, if the wait lists stay as is. By that time, the Ioniq should have around 40k km.
Passed 40k km this past weekend so I'm on track I had a door ding fixed with PDR for a hundred bucks, meaning the Ioniq is just a good clean away from being handed over in ten days. It's just been really, really good, cheap and problem free.
Here's a charging curve I got on my last stint on Friday, in very cold 5-6°C weather after something like 300km. Spent half an hour DC charging from a Kempower 150kW pole and managed to eke out 49kW for quite a while, as 50kW is the car's maximum charging speed. One thing I did was to trigger remote heating during charging a couple times, which might or might not have helped.
