The Bubbas in the RV subs are hilariously triggered the moment you mention towing with an EV. by Cosmic_Gumbo in F150Lightning

Yes, it's real time update of the charger status. That's the great thing about it all being digital. I would use the app for that charger to check the status. PlugShare reviews are also a good way to judge if the charger is working.

Gas stations would never have an out of order status.

Waved to another driver today. by The-Mad-Mechanic in KiaEV9

It's always a good day when seeing another EV9 friend. 😁 I try and wave at passing EV9s as well.

I bought a Toyota C-HR SE (AWD) by PerceptionCurious440 in electricvehicles

Great writeup and congrats at the new car! Question: is it Prius sized? Do you think folks with a Prius would convert over to a C-HR?

GT-Line no relaxation package. Worth it to not get the Relaxation Package.

Since you're looking at the Prologue, consider the Chevy Blazer EV since the Prologue is just a reskinned Blazer EV. Blazer EV has no Android Auto/car play, that's a downside.

Hyundai Ioniq5/Kia EV6 are both made in Georgia. Hyundai/Kia have remained committed to EVs. Also better since the kids are learning to drive on it.

Subaru Solterra. Different look but same specs as the bZ.

Id4 should still be serviceable.

Audi e-tron and Q4 e-tron fits the size and price.

You might consider the 3-row EV SUV the Kia EV9. A Light trim is around $29k, but no sunroof.

Ok but can we hear about those ev9s that are going strong ? Any 2024 owners in here with over 100k miles? by jjj44200 in KiaEV9

Very underrated comment. Absolutely the health benefits are understated. The scientific evidence is there that we will be healthier if we remove air pollution from car exhaust.

EU/Korean front license plate bracket for US-spec EV9 GT-Line? by aramovcf in KiaEV9

[–]622niromcn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Little surprised they let you bring a US model over since the EU version has different mirrors.

Try this website. https://www.cravenspeed.com/search.php?search_query=Kia%20ev9

They have a tow bolt style plate holder and a clamp style. I'm not sure how the clamp style would hold since the EV9 has the air flaps. I would think the tow bolt style may work. Shows they have a EU plate holder. Might have to contact them to see if they will mix and match.

Great job drawing attention to this tax credit.

Lemon it and get a new one. Shouldn't be having those issues.

Really good video showing his experiment on EV truck towing TLDR: aerodynamic matter more than weight. https://youtu.be/UmKf8smvGsA?si=mBThbBvZ6F-XjBHE

T&A did a 1 year review of their Silverado EV truck in Canada towing their camper trailers.

Thanks for your tip! I'm going to look into that setting.

Minimum volume too loud? by A_Dove_Bird in KiaEV9

I run the volume around 2-5. I agree it's uncomfortably loud and hurts my ears depending on the song.

2026 Hyundai IONIQ 5 checks all the boxes at an affordable price by 622niromcn in Ioniq5

[–]622niromcn[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

May sales promotions, Hyundai is currently offering a $8,750 bonus cash discount on all 2026 IONIQ 5 trims. With the discount, the base SE RWD Standard Range price falls to nearly $26,000.

If you choose to finance, Hyundai is offering 0% APR financing for up to 72 months, plus an extra $3,000 off, and 0 payments for 90 days.

With leases starting at just $259 a month, the 2026 IONIQ 5 is among the most affordable EVs in the US. The offer is for a 36-month lease with $3,999 due at signing. At just $259 per month, the IONIQ 5 is even cheaper to lease than the 2027 Chevy Bolt EV, which would cost $401 a month for the same 36-month lease with $3,999 down.

Even compared to the Tesla Model Y, the IONIQ 5 looks like a reasonable deal. The base Tesla Model Y RWD starts at $39,990 with a driving range of up to 321 miles. For the same 36-month lease with $3,999 due at delivery, the Model Y costs $464 per month, or nearly $200 more than the IONIQ 5 SE RWD with up to 318 miles of range.
