I bought a 2023 Ioniq 5 in December 2022. IRS reached out and is requesting a certificate showing it qualified for the tax credit from the manufacturer. Hyundai corporate seems to know nothing about the existence of this certificate. Anyone else have this issue or know where I can get it?
I'm obliged to warn drivers of unintentional rapid acceleration with the 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5. My vehicle is a leased Ioniq 5 SE obtained in May 2024 and now with about 5000 miles on the odometer. I experienced a frightening, unanticipated rapid acceleration event, which was objectively caused...
I released this video last Friday and it may interest some of you. The Hyundai Ioniq 5 hatchback was released without a rear wiper, which was a mistake because the rear window gets unusable. The Kia EV6 also doesn’t have a rear wiper, but does it have the same problem as the Ioniq 5? In this...
I released this video last Friday and it may interest some of you. The Hyundai Ioniq 5 hatchback was released without a rear wiper, which was a mistake because the rear window gets unusable as many of you know. The Kia EV6 also doesn’t have a rear wiper, but doesn’t need one. In this video I go...
In February 2021 I had made a video about the things I hated about my Kia Niro EV. Since I have now owned my EV6 GT-Line Pack 2 for two and a half years and over 88,000km of driving, it’s time to list the things I don’t like about it. Some of the things I hate are EV6 specific, but there are...
It's finally time for the first big change announcement for my YouTube channel and it's in this video.
Two years ago I made a Kia EV6 “hidden” features video and finally got around to making part 2. In this video I show you the top 10 Kia EV6 hidden features and how to access them. This way you...
I’m going to be buying a 2025 Ioniq 5 this year. I’m wondering if anybody has had any issues parking their car for an extended period of time (let’s say 2 weeks) in cold weather. We like to go away for a few weeks in the winter and park our car at an outdoor airport parking lot in below...
I have an Ioniq 5 but have not used the V2L feature before! Recently my wife and I brought up the idea of going camping, so I was looking for a V2L adapter on Amazon and came across an adapter that was a better price than what's on the market and works for most models (in case I change cars in...
I just lost my Kona to a deer collision and I'm thinking of replacing it with another Kona or the I5. I pulled my teardrop camper (~600lbs) with the Kona with no problems. It seems the I5 is less efficient since it has a bigger battery with similar range to the Kona. I suspect that towing...
Lectron had a social media contest a few weeks back for V2L users. One used an air fryer with their V2L adapter. Has anyone actually tried this adapter to power household appliances? Just want to know if getting one is useful in real-world conditions LOL...
It has been sub-freezing for most hours of the day here in Northern New Jersey this past 10 days, and I thought I'd post on the effect that has had on my range. I do not have the battery heater. Mine is the base model 2-wheel drive, 2022.
During warm weather, non-highway driving, I averaged...
On 7-16-22 I posted about my 12-volt battery failure ( https://tinyurl.com/4ekfrhsj).
Electriceddy suggested that I get a BM2 monitor and report back. On 8-5-22 I posted my first experience with the BM@ monitor (https://tinyurl.com/3bz62a84).
I have now had two more issues while using the BM2...
Calling all inventors! We all know that not having a rear windshield wiper on the Ioniq 5 is a big omission by Hyundai but does anyone know of an available portable wiper that may work? Amazon has so called portable wipers for UTVs like a Polaris Ranger but they look like they need to clip onto...
Since I had never used the Vehicle-to-Load (aka V2L) feature of my Kia EV6 I decided to make a video about it to discover as much as I could. In this video I tested the V2L with several appliances and electronic devices. What happens if you exceed the power limit? How do you reset the V2L and AC...
My second EV6 video went live this morning. The Kia EV6 is loaded with technology, but some things are difficult to find, and some are almost impossible to know about unless you read the giant manual. In this video I show you how to access some of these features. Since the Hyundai Ioniq 5 shares...
Inside EVs has the story on the Ioniq 5 pricing here. Of course, we have no idea what kind of "market adjustment" dealers will apply. And, of course, the Ioniq 5 isn't available in many US states. The article says there's still confusion about wheel sizes.
A while ago a petition was started because Hyundai and Kia electric cars have a challenge when trying to fast charge in very cold weather; they are slow until the battery warms up, even if the vehicles have the winter package. It has come to be known as ColdGate and it is not great for PR but is...

I'm Park Woan-ho, a graduate student from Korea majoring in power systems at Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology.
I’m writing to request a small bit of time for an informational interview. I’m currently starting to develop a platform service that connects electric vehicle...
