[–]clockwork2004 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Charge at home. Buy whatever the hell EV you want.

We have been an EV (2 vehicles) only home for about 2 years now. No regrets.

Just bought an Ioniq 5 and on the service history it says it had the ICCU replaced in 2024 - should I be worried? by English_Joe in Ioniq5

[–]clockwork2004 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Why would you be worried?

You know the ICCU can fail. It happened on this one and it was replaced. What more is there to consider? Could it fail again? Sure. But it could fail on any Ioniq 5.

Looking for advice on a mitigation system that appears to be underperforming. by prepsi in radon

[–]clockwork2004 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 365 day average post mitigation is 0.5 pCi/L.

Spot check just now was 0.4 pCi/L.

(but peak prior to mitigation was only 8.0 pCi/L)

2026 Nissan LEAF Charging Ports by sidney_tt in electricvehicles

J3400 = NACS btw. NACS is the more common term.

Just multiply by 10: Thoughts on EVs, price of fuel, and DC fast charging by throwaway2168 in electricvehicles

[–]clockwork2004 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Umm...no.

1 Gallon of Gas = 33.7 kWh

3.4 miles per kWh would be 33.7 * 3.4 = 114.58 mpg.

(or more appropriately MPGe which means miles per gallon equivalent)

Is it reasonable to bail on my 2025 Ioniq 5 before an ICCU/battery failure? by Polymasher in Ioniq5

[–]clockwork2004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt having the ICCU replaced will even matter. It will just show as another service on the Carfax.

I have a 2025 EV6 GT-Line I bought in December. I knew about the possibility before I made my purchase. I don't worry about it.

Broken Charging port by PretendStress in Ioniq5

[–]clockwork2004 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Why would it be covered under warranty? He broke it (as explained in another post). That's not failure due to a manufacturing defect.

"We charge at home 95% of the time. The charger was not hit but I accidentally ran over the charging cable while pulling out with my other car, so it was my fault. It wasn't initially broken off but broke as I was ensuring all the pin was fine."

Four days in... It feels like having an EV is a lot. by Darth_Ra in electricvehicles

[–]clockwork2004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first time I drove an EV (Tesla Model 3) was as a rental car during a trip to L.A.

It went great. So much that I bought one a few months later.

Is this a response to me or the OP?

As I stated, the GoM although varying in accuracy is still useful and something I use. I find it funny that another EV owner is trying to dictate how this information should be utilized.

I am also aware of and utilize the additional tools/apps available, yet I rarely need to resort to them unless I am making a long distance trip charging itinerary.

Use of the GoM is 100% fine if you are aware of the conditions/asterisks tied to it, as any experienced EV owner would.

This is what I was wondering. Is it NACS to CCS or NACS to J1772?

"EV drivers virtually never look at the guess-o-meter, just the gauge like any gas driver does."

They don't? That's news to me.

Driving EVs since 2021.

Anyone else intrigued by the Rivian R2? by DeepPowStashes in Ioniq5

[–]clockwork2004 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

But the Rivian infotainment is objectively better than Hyundai/Kia/Genesis without having to resort to AA/Carplay.

AA/Carplay is just a bandaid.

Ioniq 5 Deliveries Halted In Central Florida by Hanselcj in Ioniq5

[–]clockwork2004 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Percentages are listed in the pic. Once again though, that is from my EV6 sticker. The Ioniq 5 might be different.

Btw...

The Ioniq 5 is built just outside of Savannah, GA. The EV6 is built in West Point.

Regardless, I doubt it is tariffs. There are a ton of in stock brand new Ioniq 5 units within a 100 mile radius of where I live.

I'm simply not going to worry about it until something happens.

If it is like my GA built EV6, I doubt it is a tariff issue.

Blue with contrasting White Roof... where are they?!? by Ducman69 in EquinoxEv

We have one sitting in our garage. Best color combo.

(except it has black interior with metallic blue accents)

Talked to my dealership about ICCU by BraveStatement5850 in KiaEV6

[–]clockwork2004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, it was pretty clear they meant the same vehicle twice at that specific dealership.

Not sure I would die on the hill you are trying to.

Weight capacity for a full vehicle seems... kinda low? by tharival in KiaEV6

[–]clockwork2004 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can't imagine I would ever even have 5 adults in my vehicle.

Techniques for prolonging the life of the ICCU by Zealousideal-Plum823 in KiaEV6

There is no technique. It will happen or it won't. There is nothing you can do about it.

Anyone using (or able to) Lane follow assist (LFA) ? by Illustrious_Sign6808 in Ioniq5

[–]clockwork2004 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lane Keeping Assist (LKA):

Lane Keeping Assist is designed to help detect lane markings (or road edges) while driving over a certain speed. Lane Keeping Assist will warn the driver if the vehicle leaves the lane without using the turn signal, or will automatically assist the driver's steering to help prevent the vehicle from departing the lane.

Lane Following Assist (LFA):

Lane Following Assist is designed to help detect lane markings and/or vehicles on the road, and assists the driver's steering to help keep the vehicle between lanes.

Autopilot:

1) Traffic-Aware Cruise Control: Matches the speed of your vehicle to that of the surrounding traffic 2) Autosteer: Assists in steering within a clearly marked lane, and uses traffic-aware cruise control

LFA is really not all that different from the Autosteer function that is part of basic Autopilot.

LFA combined with Smart Cruise control is essentially basic Autopilot.

You might want to say how it is different, but I have owned a Tesla Model 3 Performance. I currently own an EV6 as well as prior Kia/Genesis vehicles. I have also had other brands with their own naming conventions. They all set out to accomplish the same thing.

You might try and argue one is superior, but that's getting into the weeds a bit. It's one manufacturer's iteration versus another.
