2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 - Road Tripping an EV for the First Time

[@ricco123tube]

FYI You pressed the wrong button on the cars navigation. If you hit ok, you would have then been navigated to the destination via necessary charge stations.

[@BioniqBob]

When making a road trip review, one would think you should know the car first. Just saying. 6 Months and no reply from him is not so good.

[@Amaldonado8946]

Just did Nor Cal to Mobile Alabama road trip. Loved it. Zero issues. Spent zero money on the Electrify America two year plan.

[@peter_storm]

You’d generally never wanna go to 100, or even 90, when roadtripping - unless the car is waiting for you to do your stuff of course, which is also really relaxing 😌 Anyway, awesome video, hope you guys do more EV road trips!

[@billbowman8747]

Why not charge to 100? Just wondering.

[@brandonbartlett5667]

@@billbowman8747 evs slow down the charging at higher speeds

My dad has this car. I took it on several long road trips this summer and they were all very enjoyable - more so than the fully loaded 2020 x5 it replaced. It’s quiet, the lack of engine noise is smoothing, the ride is soft and acceleration is effortless. The adaptive cruiser works extremely well. Finding charging was annoying, but once it’s charging, it charges really fast. Most time it’s done charging before we were ready to leave. We have converted all our cars to ev and one phev. Now I avoid taking the phev and only do ev road trips if possible.

[@sharonb.9128]

Great video. Honest appraisal of road tripping an EV from a regular “car guy”. I think the ionic 5 was an excellent choice because of how it fast charges, smooth ride and quiet cabin. That’s everything you need when on a road trip.

[@howardschoenberger3526]

Excellent video, one of the best I have seen with lots of detail.

[@DanielJones-c1i]

Who would have thought forward to drive and back to reverse could make sense lol

[@ter450]

I've had my Ioniq 5 since June. Multiple road trips 500 to 1,200 miles. ABRP, is okay. I use Waze with Electrify America app (free Ioniq 5 charging for several years). Living in SW Florida, many of the chargers where down, due to power outages from Ian. BTW, many of the gas stations where out of gas or 30 minutes to 2 hour wait. During power outage, I used "ChargeHub" application. This app gives user feedback, which helped me to find FPL fast charger 2 miles from work. Also have 11 kW propane generator, which I never needed for EV. Felt like I faired better than ICE drivers. Fast charging of Ioniq 5 is one of the main draws over other EVs

[@Reddylion]

👍 nice ev.

[@nhsplayer07]

Can’t wait for the ioniq 6 with over 350 miles

[@BioniqBob]

Did you get it?

[@xaionik]

These EV road trip videos goes to show how over blown range anxiety can be. But the worries wouldn't be an issue if chargers were everywhere like gas stations.

[@martinekstrom6303]

They are.

Chris quit droning on.

[@ThePittsburghMan]

Maybe this is why Chris has haters 😂😂

[@nonconsensualopinion]

@@ThePittsburghMan or the fact that he nearly destroyed his garage by assuming how a shifter operated, didn't confirm his selected gear, and applied throttle. Sounds like he isn't a very capable driver. Then he doesn't realize 3.2 miles per kWh is better than 3 and is concerned. It feels like he isn't putting any effort into learning anything.

Lmao “how can this be free?!” - Something I’d never question

[@fabioleal3442]

Huyndai has a contract with eletrify America that you would get for 2 years free charge.

[@BioniqBob]

@@fabioleal3442 True, but he means he never questions (why) something that is free.

[@kevins718]

Really nice to head a good EV experience

[@Rhaman68]

Well, unless the trip is 50% of the reported 100% charge range, hard acceleration, driving over 65 mph, not using cruise control, passing “slower” vehicles and aiming for 1.5 to 2.0 miles per kilowatt , this is a good way to do that. Otherwise, speed at or below posted limit, on cruise control, and planning on 3.5 to 3.9 miles per kilowatt provides excellent range.

[@b286guy]

500 miles? That’s no road trip. 5000 is a road trip 😎

[@MukisaSS]

If you have the time and money for it🙃

[@anekinoo7]

5000? 😂 are u trying to go to the other side of the world? From California to florida is about 2500 miles.

[@BioniqBob]

@@anekinoo7 b286guy drives in circles. A little dizzy.

[@stephkent2736]

Cleveland, OH to Albany NY, Milwaukee, WI or Charlotte NC is around 500 miles each way. That’s the road trip realm beginnings.

[@karensandberg6226]

Question: what happens to your mileage is stuck in traffic?

[@GOOBENsticks]

It would go down over time of course, but much much slower. Imagine using a smart phone to watch a video (driving) and comparing the battery drain to just leaving it on the home screen or scrolling through texts (traffic).

[@BioniqBob]

EV Motor uses 0 power and when stopped. 1 hour of an idling ICE causes engine wear like you drove 25 miles.

[@drmcallis]

Well, the Ioniq 5 is a better car than a Model Y... :) I'd rather road trip it, anyway. In fact we have done a 1100+ mile trip in ours. Among a good many other trips plus a planned 1300+ mile trip next month. Model Y isn't bad, and is more powerful and efficient, but the Hyundai is much more comfortable, and 320hp is, you'd say, adequate...

[@AndrewLumsden]

"Complementary session, does that mean it's free" OMG WTF, YES 😩

[@CitybeatPaul]

Did you pay for ABRP ? Was it any good ?

[@DailyMotor]

ABRP is a great resource, and you only have to pay for it if you want to use it with Apple CarPlay. It works well on the phone alone for free.

[@anekinoo7]

Hybrids still the best bang for the buck. Cost nearly half of a hybrid and will do 600 miles on a tank.

[@howardschoenberger3526]

The only problem with a hybrid is that while you have the best of both worlds, you also have the worst in you have both sets of drives and the interface system that over time will ultimately cost money to repair. All electric is probably going to cost you a lot less over time. So, while you pay less up front for a hybrid or plugin hybrid it is going to cost you more for the energy and much more for the maintenance.

[@martinekstrom6303]

The worst of 2 worlds. On a road trip you get a few miles of electric and then pure ICE and you need to drag that battery around giving lousy consumption and performance. You have all the expensive mandatory maintenance of an ICE but also the risk of battery problems. Driving on battery you drag the other driveline around consuming loads of energy.

[@sam_1bsabidee950]

This thing switches to 800V during charge and would be faster than Tesla.

[@Rick9482]

Well I would definitely miss the flat center console in my M3 and the superb sound system. Ioniq looks lacking there. The driving assist on the Ioniq looks to be better than mine which I never use, even on the highway. Always paying attention to driving assist actually destroys the pleasure of the drive. I hate it! I'm envious of the more comfortable ride. The M3 is fine on decent roads but should've been more compliant. I suspect the firmness is because it's such a fast car.....safety first. I charged to 80% a few days ago at 0.23 per klwt and it's so convenient and easy. My best purchase ever!!!

[@aono335]

Hyundai offers three years of free charging at ekectrify America stations

[@heribertosarmiento1265]

for used i5 unfortunately it not transferrable on EA website 😭

I enjoyed the information in this video but please refrain from attaching the camera to your head. I had to close my eyes to avoid being overcome with nausea. :)

[@jimharrison3552]

When respondents in a survey whether they would ever see themselves owning a EV, 39% said yes, down from 42% last year, and 26% said no, up from 21%.

[@AndrewLumsden]

So damn defeatist. 500 miles is not a road trip. 500 miles would probably only involve 2 charging sessions at most. Your bladder would likely need more stops, at which time you can also charge the car. 🙄😖
