If you have to have it, then thats very good place because your hand is going to be close to it all the time (above phone, under screen) and it is visible.
wait until you have Tesla drivers thinking the button is for stop/start charging their phones.
Start/stop button in an EV appeals to the same crowd that needs fake engine sounds.
Don't want fake engine sounds at all, no engine sound is a big draw for an EV to me. But, I like the interface the way I'm used to. Wouldn't be a dealbreaker for me though, not having a on/off button. No turn signal stalk is a dealbreaker.
If I'm forced to get an EV, this would be at the top of my list. 320 range is avg and the 5 min charge from 10% to 80% isn't too terrible. A Rivian would be the 2nd option.
I think that's pretty good, no? Just a quick search says that's the same as Tesla (Google AI says 25-35 minutes to go 10-80% on a Model 3).
I trip my Model 3 and Y several times a year (usually 390 miles each way) and 10 to 80 percent is about 20 to 25 minutes depending on weather, temp etc, but you usually don't charge that much unless there is a great distance between chargers, and in California there are so many chargers that you never have to charge to 80 percent at superchargers, as maps will have you charge enough to get to your destination quickly. For example, it will have me stop and charge once for 15 minutes, I'll get to my destination usually between 15 to 20 percent SoC, then plug in at my destination (my brother has a charger). People who charge all the way to 80 percent do that by choice, not necessity

Not as good as some rivals that have 800v architecture. For an all new design thats pretty poor. Hyundais for instance have 800v architecture and can do it in more like 20-25 min

I had an Ioniq 5 and it charged exactly the same speed as my Tesla's, if not slower because it relied on Electrify America that never delivered what it advertised, so basically it's touted 800v really means nothing. It's like getting muscle implants, all flash and no substance

I'm not putting down the Ioniq 5, nor 800v charging, the Ioniq 5 is an amazing car (Bit can testify to that) and 800v architecture is and should be the future of batteries packs, it's just the charging infrastructure hasn't kept up, I think Tesla's v4 chargers are only up to 300 250 kW, although I heard they are going to be deploying megawatt chargers (1,200 kW) soon
