I just completed a 1000 mile road trip in the Ioniq 6 Limited and also uploaded a video on my channel. I appreciate seeing your timely video! I had no idea that ABRP was an app that would help us. We flew to FL and drove the Ioniq 6 to MD over two days. We never owned an EV and never did a road trip in one. But we had the same experiences at many EA chargers. Charging at home every night is a huge gift. I'm curious what our experience would be like once we get access to Tesla superchargers.

Did you get the AWD or RWD Limited? Also, I imagine once you get access to superchargers, going on road trips will be a much better experience.

I doubt it will be a good experience. Until V4 chargers come out, they will be heavily speed limited. They should top out at around 100 kW because Tesla didn't bother to make them 800 volt compatible.

Man that charging was a PAINNNNN

It also helps when people know what they are doing before going on a trip. And stop bringing up Tesla . They make the car and software and charger. I hate videos were people especially people that had or have Tesla look so stupid at non Tesla chargers. And 1st thing they do is complain about charger or other people when they are not there first example Kyle Connor , max patton and the worst guy on KZread Roman mica from tfl. Roman always so unprepared doesn’t have the apps downloaded or the credit card in the app . He also doesn’t know that you can tap your phone were it says member on ea and you don’t need to swipe or use your credit card in the reader. He is not new but acts like he is . If no ea. no driving outside your city .

Thank you. So true. For example, “I wonder if preconditioning would kick in using Google Maps.”

The nav shows time to 100% because that's what the DC fast charging limit is set to. Set it to 80% and it will show time to 80%.

The EPA range is already conservative. Unlike Tesla, you’ll easily exceed the epa rating, by a lot, and smaller wheels will provide a negligible increase in efficiency.

this car reminds me of a modern SAAB 900

big coincidence! we made this trip about the same time as you did and stopped at this station in our ioniq6 awd limited! . i also did about 3m/kwh. they are a wonderful car on the road (and everywhere else)

Also NEVER unplug someone else!!! They don't know if you damaged their plug.

I don't know, if you leave your car plugged in idling at 100% for a length of time, I say you deserve to get unplugged. Just like someone leaving their car in front of a gas pump at a busy station, you are obligated to keep an eye on your vehicle while charging at a level 3.

Long road trips are a great way to evaluate an EV. Ford now access to some Tesla superchargers, they started sending out their adapters, if you ever get a loaner F150 Lightning, it will make for a great long road tripper too.

at 80% what is your miles range say just wanted to know so I see if at 100% you exceed the 270 EPA

Shame you have to call Customer Service to reboot a dispenser. Should be a button to reset the dispenser. Most of the time they pick up quickly, but all of us have Been on hold for a long time. Hopefully Tesla opens their SuC Network to all of us soon.

had a model 3 and it rode rough and noisy and I could never get comfortable in it., The 6 just plain feels much better. my guess is that the SE long distance would satisfy many people that don't need the options on the ltd and they are damn near giving those things away. I bought mine at the very peak of the market and paid way too much. I m hearing about 2 year leases at under 300 a month.

It really is unbelievable how bad the non Tesla infrastructure still is. It’s worse in America but still not super great here in Europe, EV road trips don’t NEED to be difficult, but the incompetence of many charging station providers mean they often are. Maybe they also need to introduce fees for charging beyond 90%, it is unnecessary in 99% of cases, especially when there is limited availability.

@@JohnCap523 I’m not saying it CAN’T be done on non-Tesla, even faster with a vehicle like the IONIQ 5 or Taycan but the point is it is objectively more difficult. The vast majority of people are not going to want to plan their charging stops in detail, just like they don’t plan their petrol stops. The car needs to auto-route to a location with available chargers, pre-condition the battery and the charger needs to work with easy contactless payment. *Most* of the time, Tesla does this well. It is a very frequent sight to find CCS chargers broken in some way, and is less frequent for Tesla, they have great uptime (at least for now). You also can’t just blame this on a lack of prep, he used ABRP before hand, it wasn’t his fault that the chargers were full and that one wouldn’t accept his payment.

That's not the point. A "newb" should be able to take a road trip in an EV just as easily as they can a gas vehicle. The fact that the Hyundai doesn't automatically tell you how long you need to charge in order to make it to the next stop efficiently is a fault on the product.

I have zero issues charging my EV6, always reaching 240kw except once.

However I do agree that for example they could make it more obvious that for the first charger all you had to do was press the button over the card contactless card reader/ccs cable to switch it from the active charging on the one vehicle to the other one you just plugged the car into.

@@RedemptiveChief thing is, a gas station pump not workings gas an easy walk around or going to another pump as fueling up doesn't take very long. Charging an EV takes a lot longer and I assure you if one charger isn't working there are probably issues with the others not charging at their maximum speed. It's a well documented issue and they also take ages to fix them. Doesn't help that gas stations aren't usually full to the brim 24/7 because of the availability. Charging stations in some areas can be rare

Don't tell people how much they should charge because you had problems.
