My wife and I did a 1558 mile road trip from New Mexico to Las Vegas. What a great road tripping car this is. And charging is always done before we come back from our break.

Yes, definitely normal. Mine does it, my Kona that I had before did it. Actually it doesn't stop if you walk by and it unlocks and then relocks. Only if you actually open the door. Sent from my moto g power (2021) using Tapatalk

You go into the app, go to account and then premium offers. Then select enrollment code, enter you information and it should work. Sorry for the late answer, for some reason I stopped getting notifications for all my forums. [emoji20]

I am sure it worked in my Kona a couple years ago, I remember us driving onto a parking lot and it showed me an icon on the map. However I just tried that in the Ioniq 5 and no such luck. I am not anywhere close to a charger, unfortunately, but I couldn't get it to show the ones I know are in...

We recently got solar panels installed and I was wondering if others had the same problems that we had getting quotes. Doing the whole process by myself, I stumbled across a way to save some money. Do you guys have any other tips?

I got solar panels last year and negotiated a free Nema14-50 outlet into the price/installation since our electrical panel needed an upgrade to 200amps for the solar. So any installation benefit wouldn't be interesting for me. 2 years of free charging are a way better deal for me.

Or the EV6 is so much better, people are just out and about driving them instead of posting online. [emoji15][emoji41][emoji1787]

Well, just using common sense, you know that accelerating to a higher speed than what you're going for (I used over-accelerating) is wasteful in general, no matter if it's an ice car or EV. Then you'll have to slow down again, potentially using brakes. Yeah, my experience is also that it...

Strange, I don't have any difference either way.

VERY true. That's how you sell stuff. Currently I don't think it's really an issue at all in the US. In Europe it might be different since ev adoption is a lot better. On the flip side, Europe is not quite as "violent" as the US is. Maybe because of different gun laws. But in the future it...

Not sure but I always say "navigate to XYZ", it then displays a list of destinations and asks me which one I prefer (numbered 1 through x) and after I tell it #1, after a few seconds wait time starts to navigate to that point. Worked every time.

Tom Mologhney has a great YouTube channel testing Chargers. He includes freezing the unit to test how the cables handle in freezing temperatures: https://youtube.com/c/StateOfChargeWithTomMoloughney
