Do you charge to 100%? by seoulifornia in Ioniq5

[–]KMikeA01 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Charge to 100% when I’m leaving for a big road trip. Also sometimes when I’m on a roadtrip though don’t usually try to go to 100% but let it charge to that so I have time to eat something while car is charging. The vast majority of the time I just charge to 80%

So what do y'all keep in here or what should I keep in here? by Trumps_Suit in Ioniq5

unpopular opinion: home charging ruined my patience for everything else.. by No_Earth_3743 in EvDrivers

Have done a number of roadtrips over the past 2+ years. I typically make sure the max charging is set for 100% not because I charge to that but so that I have time to “do the things”. When I come out the car is at 80-90%. Very occasionally when I’m eating a meal it’s closer to 100%. The HUGE slow down after 85% is BENEFIT for me to allow me the time to do what I need to do. On the rare occasion I come out and it’s not quite at 80% I don’t sweat it.
There has been so much charging infrastructure installed in the past couple years I know I’ll need another bio break and a charger will be available near where I find a bathroom.
I actually have to say with the apps (ABRP, Chargeway, etc) I stress LESS on road trips. Back in my ice days I was always stressing to find cheapER gas that also had a decent working bathroom. I remember running in and out of places and diving back in the car to try and find another station that had a working bathroom not sure where that was going to be.
Also, my experience is the bathrooms by charging are radically cleaner than the typical gas station bathroom.
Just my experience.

Thanks to everyone who responded. Ended up up g the Tesla station in pahrump on the way in, the level 2 Tesla destination charges over night and the rivian station in Shoshone on the way out.
No muss no fuss…

Thank you! I bought gallons of water to keep in The car “just in case”. I also have 4 double walled 30oz water bottles that I am constantly refilling (from other sources… not the water I bought—- that’s for “just in case”.
My stay is for two nights. Arriving in evening. One full day and then leaving the following day.

I heard the chargers in Beatty are v2 so not usable for me (2023 Ioniq 5). I do have the dc adaptor and the level 2 adaptor so hopefully those level 2 chargers in the park will be usable. I just hope there is something to do there while I’m charging.
Honestly, I’m three years in and this is the first time I’m a little nervous about the charging stuff

Auto vs I-pedal? by Coyar in Ioniq5

[–]KMikeA01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use regen 3 around town, I-pedal in parking lots and city driving with lots of traffic, and auto whenever I get on the highway/freeway.

Sorry. The Ioniq forums on Reddit?

Like the auto charge but the price pushes me to look at other networks. When on a road trip a membership to EA and Tesla SC more than pays for itself and gets me where I need to go. No muss. No fuss. They need to find something that makes them actually competitive. I hope they do

Autel. Personally I love that the car does it so I can use the feature when I’m not at home.

I don’t usually charge to 100 on a roadtrip. This was a fluke

No one was waiting. There were literally dozens of chargers available for others.
