How much is it? And how much you pay for insurnace?
@ACoupleReview4 күн бұрын
The premium model is $76,000 Canadian plus tax minus the rebate. Insurance is $130 a month. We decided to pay about $80 a month extra for the full replacement cost premium. You do need to be careful about dealer markups though.

I can't speak for the quality of their work yet, but they quoted me $180 an hour for labour installing the tow hitch package. They only warranty their labour/install for 6 months, with 12 months on just the parts. So price is ridiculous. The only good thing is they apparently only want it see the vehicle every 12-16 months to start. We have friends with a Telluride and they are in for oil changes and engine servicing twice as often. Watch, the cost of service on the EV will be twice as much 🤔.
@plixie18 күн бұрын
Its silly, a person uses their finger print and the car says, " You may now start me". Why not just start? It adds a step to press a button that they shoe horned into the stalk! I want this exact model and it would be great to replace my wife's telluride, a gentle nudge for her into an ev.
@ACoupleReview8 күн бұрын
@@plixie1 I think it's good they don't let you start the car with just the fingerprint. Having to have the digital key, and use the print seperately to "log in" is a nice way to keep the infotainment system seperate from actually driving of the car. A few quirks aside, it's a great vehicle. If you can charge at home, and 500km is enough range for you, it's one of the best EV's out there right now.

The plugs/outlets and adapter are a fire hazard and potentially dangerous. They are not rated for continuous high load operation. Do some research on home EV charging fire hazards and you’ll find lots of supporting information online. I suggest you have an electrician hard-wire it.

Great review! I have owned the EV9 GT-Line (a six-seater with a relaxation package) in Finland since early January 2024. I have driven it 15000 km so far. Had some early software issues (everything was fixed). My all-time average consumption is 24.8 kWh/100km. In winter time (Finnish winter is close to Canadian), it was close to 30 kWh/100 km. Summertime on the highway (speeds close to 140 km/h), consumption will hit the same 30 kWh/100 km. Still, love this car and have no regrets about buying it.
@ACoupleReview25 күн бұрын
That's great to hear they've resolved your early issues and you're loving it. Your stat of 30kWh to 100Km, you're saying you get an average of 333km per full 100kW charge? I'm seeing about 500km per charge now, but it's been above 10°C so far, so pretty ideal conditions. I expect a significant drop once we near freezing, but a 35% drop is more than I'd expect. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the conversion?
@bond_andrew25 күн бұрын
@@ACoupleReview Yep that is what you will get in the winter (with temperatures at -20). However, that is with preheating. I noticed that the car does take it into account when it shows your average driving consumption. I did long legs (250 km one-way trips), and it wasn't a problem. Based on my experience, here are the numbers you can expect: Temperature -10 to -20 (and below) --- up to 30 kWh /100 km ~ 2 miles / kWh (330 km or 205 miles on a full charge) Temperature -5 to +5 - up to 26 kWh /100 km ~ 2.4 miles / kWh (up to 400 km or 250 miles) Temperature +5 to +10 - up to 24 kWh /100 km ~ 2.6 miles / kWh ( up to 450 km or 260 miles) Temperature +10 and higher - up to 22 kWh/100 KM (typically around 20 kWh/100km) ~2.8 to 3 miles / kWh (up to 500 or 310 miles) Temps are in Celsius. I was able to drive at 18-19 kWh/100km during the summer. Highway speeds won't influence your consumption in low temperatures (as far as I noticed). My winter 250 km trip was with an ambient temperature of -20. I was still doing 30 kWh/100km. The last note is that the car keeps the heat pretty well. So it will depend on how long your trips will be. If your trip is 15 minutes long, you will spend some 40% of your energy on the heater. However, if you drive for at least 30-40 minutes, you will spend some 15-20% on the heater. This will influence your average consumption a lot. I hope this helps and brings some clarity.
@ACoupleReview25 күн бұрын
@bond_andrew Wow that's some excellent logging you've done. I guess factors in my favor are keeping it in a semi-heated garage and our West Coast BC temperatures rarely dip below -5, so unless I'm leaving work, with it parked outside, it's going to be a lot of warm starts. Really good to know what to expect though, thank you!
