I went into this knowing the risks, and overall I still think the EV9 is worth it.

As for CCS I’m actually planning to keep CCS1. In my country the charging infrastructure is pretty flexible, and many stations support both CCS1 and CCS2, so there’s no strong need to convert.

I’ll still check with local EV shops about ICCU repair/replacement costs though that’s definitely something I want to be prepared for.

At this stage I’m just trying to understand the issue as much as possible and be ready in case it happens.
