the right side is good for charging at city streets you can easily plug-in with the chargeport near the sidewalk (and nothing is poking out of the car to the street side) letf side is convenient for highway charging and you should install your charger at the back in the middle of your garage

[@jinny7]

Then front or back would be more universal in both cases

[@swatcher1]

The right side is the right side, while the left side is the wrong side. ^^ sorry.

[@thenerdysk8er]

I think that the point you make about right or left side is redundant. Not every home charging solution is the same neither are dedicated chargers standardized yet.

[@skyfox77]

If the radar gets blocked on Kia Ev6 or Ionic, press and hold the cruise control button to set it to speed limit mode instead. You still need to use the "gas" pedal to drive, but it is pretty useful.

[@KevinT3141]

That's a shame, the classic Ioniq goes into dumb cruise when you push and hold that button. It still complains about blocked radar when you give it a set point, but lift your foot and lo and behold it's cruising anyway. A useful fallback.

[@bjornnyland]

Doesn't work.

[@Marki555]

@@KevinT3141 I think they don't want to allow dumb mode, because drivers could be confused... you muscle memory the car will slow down when it sees a car in front of it, but sometimes (in dumb mode with blocked radar) it just won't slow and would crash into it. It can be flashing warnings, but it would be still confusing...

Charge port is on the right side which is the right side 😁💪🏼

[@FHB71]

Totally agree! If the port is on the left side, you park directly at the charger and maybe bump the door into something and the door is not on the "open" side towards the road.

[@teledopo]

Yes, this is really a non-discussion. The reason is charging in the street. In right driving countries you are mostly parked on the right side of the street and in parallel with the street. If your charging port is on the left, the cable plug sticks dangerously out at the side with passing traffic and sometimes the cable is not long enough and has to be put over the roof of the car. Tesla had it wrong to provide a charging port on the left side, just like their Superchargers had too short charging cables to serve cars with other charging port locations.

[@FHB71]

@@teledopo That is exactly my train of thought.

[@borama7845]

What is the constant fuzz about the location of the charge port? For your personal situation its best on the left side. I get it. For others it is best on the right side or prefer it in the front. I‘d recommend to not getting upset if people have a different taste, need or opinion.

[@frankelf3151]

Love your videos and keep up the good work but your preference to where the charge port should be is just that, your preference. I like the charge port in the front.

[@bjornnyland]

Door is still on the left side... Lol

[@MrSpyke321]

Disappointed they keep the old kona/eniro charging steps filosophy, where it seems that the BMS is set that a battery min temp of 15 degrees is good enough, and not heats to 25 degrees. So it still has a slight coldgate, despite battery heating. Thanks for your unrelenting work Bjorn!!

[@MrSpyke321]

Just to clarify; bat temp min of 25-30 degrees is optimal bat temp for korean cars since eniro/kona

[@seppomantyla7368]

Still somewhat disappointing heat management of the battery - though better than nothing for sure. This 18% limit is just plain stupid when navigator knows that you'll arrive with plenty of juice to the charging station.

[@peterstruijk5565]

On my EV6 preconditioning also starts at 60% SOC! No problem there….

[@MrSpyke321]

I think it maybe is a battery pack min of 15 degrees 'limit' instead of 18 % limit. But totally agree the BMS logic is still not very good

[@MrSpyke321]

@13:17 you see bms min is 15 degrees celcius and it stops preheating, this should be 25 degrees imo😅 (optimal bat temp for korean cars)😢

[@PeterKyllesbeck]

At 20:58 it does say on the screen energy consumption % is from ignition-on till now. ;-)

[@st4849]

Re: "Right side is the wrong side". They don't change up the charging port location between RHD and LHD cars (it's RHD for me for example). So you can't really make a judgement on the port location based on the side the driver door is on.

[@alancobbin]

The Ionic 6 is stacking up to be a great EV 👍😉💪

[@Sandzsteedt]

Here's a wild idea: Charge port on both sides for redundancy and convenience. It's just a plug and some cables if a manufacturer would want to future proof their cars on the cheap for different charging stall etc. styles.

[@nettlesoup]

It would have be more than just an extra socket and cables because if one side is energised and charging then so is the other side, which is a huge electrocution risk. I guess you could find a way to prevent both charge flaps opening at the same time but those locks aren't particularly strong. Also the high power cables are not cheap nor light.

[@theagentsmith]

A relay box will de-energise the unused port. The idea is nice, however it is an extra charge port, cabling, flap. I believe it is 200€ bill of materials. More cost on already expensive car :(

[@7necromancer]

Like the audi etron, has charge port on both sides

[@Innovamax]

Hey Bjorn about charge limit you get stock a 150Kw because of the battery on center of the pack was at 34c (heater as stop and cooling have begun) E-GMP have to put isolation on battery and put 2 loop of coolant one in center and one on side of pack.

[@flemlion13]

Bjorn, you need some more roadside charging for your charge port location experience. The center front location I've seen on a couple of cars seems the most flexible, but then there's snow impact possible. So at the rear behind the number plate next?

[@actiontom]

About the sides. One thing is that if you would get stuck somewhere and you need to be recharged, it would be safer to do it from the edge of the road, not from the middle. So even if you have car with left side driver position, it can be good design choice to have the socket/lid on the right side :D But I don't see the sides discussion as some dilemma. It is what it is, both sides have pros and cons.

[@bjornnyland]

Pro tip: You only need 5 seconds to plug in. And then you can get to a safer place. It's about the same time it takes to open the driver's door and get out... Or did you plan on standing by the charge port while charging? Lol

[@ivalou80]

@@bjornnyland But when your charging on the street the lid and cable is sticking out to live trafic. And where i live i have seen lids hanging of the car because it got hit by passing trafic. So right side is right side.

[@deniz.cakmak.]

​@@reiniero123 some streets are narrow, also cable has to stretch to the left side of the car and it is a problem. I get out of the car in a short time interval but charge cable is gonna stay all the time. it is a bad example.

[@kenion2166]

I never used a charger where the cable came from the right side. In Germany it's many times on the left side cause of one way streets or behind the car. Fast charging its also better on the left side cause why do I want to walk around the vehicle. Special annoying on rain. Tesla atleast got it on the left side which is indeed the right side.

[@kpl9439]

[@raymondpritchard]

In the UK, the right side is definitely the right side 😅

[@garycuccia8508]

RWD adequate for conditions?

[@ProfessorHamer]

I think most people drive into garages, not reverse, that way the trunk is accessible, and reversing out is easier than in. The only requirement is that you use a tennis ball with string or laser on the dash to help make sure the car is parked far enough in. In that case the charge port is actually in the correct location because the cable doesn’t block access to the driver’s side when charging

Why are there so many crashes and disabled cars? The weather doesn’t even look bad. Reminds me of when we get snow around where I live (Pacific NW, USA) and everybody tries to drive on their bald summer tires. Curb side charging stations are very common around here. If the charging port is going to be on the side of the car, having it on the curb side makes the most sense for my usage. In general, having it on the front makes the most sense for my usage. Just because you disagree doesn’t make you more correct than anyone else.

The right side is the middle of the nose of the car, of course. Then one can enter the charging stalls front-first, which is more comfortable (no idea why anyone would want to back-up into a tight spot) and can be on either of the two parking places if there are two for one stall. But somehow, this position is used only on FWD cars, not RWD ones (I guess it's better to have all the motor, inverter and charging port together).

The trick is to set a charge point closer to the car so that it starts preconditioning earlier than it thinks it needs to. Then it reaches above 25 degrees min temp before you get to 20%, and doesn't have time to cool down before the actual charge point you want. Still an idiotic implementation.

Hi Bjorn, You keep arguing that the right side is the wrong side while the right side is the left side. Blah. Wrong. That's OK if you are charging in your garage or on the ultra wide roads of LA or any "large" town in the US or on any British/Commonwealth ex-colony, but it's not what the future real life in Europe will be offering you: chargers everywhere on the roadside. In that case the plug will be on the road side, being exposed to traffic (i.e. catastrophic hits by cars and cyclists) and even dangerous for the driver that will be forced to plug in in the middle of the road. Not a big problem if you live in the States of in the very quiet Norway, but just try to charge on the roadside in heavily trafficked cities like Milan, Paris, New Delhi, Barcellona or Naples. Your charging port or your life will last minutes, while you will never die walking two more meter inside your garage. Solution: just buy an Audi Etron GT or a Porsche Taycan like I did, just to have the wrong charging ports always on the right side. 😂
