Is this like a progress bar that indicates the level of charge? I was parked next to an Ioniq5 at an EA charging station last Sat and forgot to ask the driver

will be interesting when you use Tesla charging for this car considering the location of that port

 

Yes, that seems to be the difference. And the lease offer is for existing Hyundai owners. The 5 grand "bonus cash" is not listed on Hyundai's website as far as I can tell.

 

Yes, that shows charge status. Yeah it will be interesting because it's on the exact opposite side of Tesla's charging port . There is no way Tesla's current charging cable placement will reach

 

It's totally official now. Our 2020 Ioniq lease has been turned in, both fobs delivered to the dealership, and it now belongs to them

 

Whatever Hyundai is doing, it's working. Ioniq 5 and 6 seems to be selling at a rapid pace. Yesterday 3 were sold right in front of my eyes. Most of the customers coming in were for either the Ioniq 5 or 6. In fact the dealership seems to be focused on them, as you can see from the above previous pic. Also, all the Ioniq's parked in the front last week are mostly gone, mine coming right off of a truck yesterday. I don't expect them to sell anywhere near the Model 3 and Y numbers, but they seem to be moving quickly. It will be interesting to see Hyundai's Q3 numbers

 

which means a more crowded EA (Chargepoint, Evgo, etc)

not sure if you mentioned previously - did you get free charging ?

 

Yes, you get 2 years free EA. I don't think we are ever going to use it as we use the Model Y for traveling. I would rather pay and use Tesla superchargers than use free EA charing

 

how's the charging speed of the ioniq vs the rest of your fleet ?
of course home level 2 charging still isn't a lot of power and limits the speed a lot.

 

For Level 2, the Y and Ioniq are about even, hitting 9 kW @40 amps while the Polestar hits 8 kW @38 amps. The Chevy Bolt is slowest, it doesn't show you charging speed, but takes longer than the other 3 cars. Level 3 charging, Ioniq wins, being able to charge at 350 kW, while Y maxes out at 250 kW and the Polestar maxes out at 150 kW. Bolt is last here again, maxing out at 55 kW. Because of charging curves, both the Model Y and Ioniq would probably end up even, maybe the Ioniq saving 3 to 5 minutes. Chevy Bolt takes about an hour to get from 10 percent to 80 percent maxed out

 

thanks. yeah, bolt is an appealing value and would be fine for my work vehicle but the slow charging might be a killer for me.

 

The Bolt is strictly a commute vehicle, and if you charge it at home, it's pretty much a no brainer. It also has pretty good range, so you would not need to even charge it nightly unless you drove 100 miles a day. That said, I ran into a lot of Bolt owners who don't let long charging times discourage them. One lady I ran into drove all the way from Oregon and was heading to San Diego...500 miles plus from Northern Cal and another 300 miles to SoCal and then another 150 miles to San Diego

 

are they retired?

 

Dunno. Her and her husband were definitely older than me. And more patient

 

I definitely, 100 percent won't be buying this vehicle at the end of the lease:




If you add he $11,424 I will be paying over 24 months (which includes the down payment), they will be asking for a total of $51,536.90. Model 3 Long Range is $47,240 and Performance is $53,240...minus tax and license of course. Yeah, no thanks

 

completely understand but remember the total amount you're referring to does include the interest in the lease.
another thing to consider is how much will the model 3, y, etc. be in 2 years. could be less or more.
