My Ioniq5 AWD Limited
After a year of owning our car, we still love it; our Ioniq5 has been a joy to drive. It is not perfect, but what car is. For example, it doesn’t have a rear wiper, you have to use a USB cord to connect Apple CarPlay, and the wipers it comes with are not that good…these foibles are only minor in comparison to the overall experience of owning this vehicle. Interior Space: I am 6’4” and can fit comfortably in every seat in the car. Interior Style: modern, sleek, futuristic but not too austere like other EVs. Power: 3 modes Eco, Normal, and Sport. All three provide ample acceleration, especially Sport. Charging speed: no other EV can compare. Even in 40° weather it took only 22 minutes to charge from 20% to 80% using a 350kwh Electrify America charger, which at it highest was pulling about 160kwh. Range: my most recent charging session gave me 200 miles. Through rain, snow, and heat, the working range is about 150 miles which means I charge about once a week for my purposes. If I use my level 2 charger at home it takes about 9 hours to charge from 20% to 80%. The ride is super quiet, the screens inside the vehicle are large and easy to read despite being farsighted. You have plenty of actual buttons and controls at your fingertips for easy operation while driving and at the same time have all the modern benefits of voice commands, on-screen swipes/features, as well as customizable options for each driver profile you set up. I cannot say enough about this wonderful car and how much fun it is to drive.
