Hmmm, vid seems a wee bit 'oversold' for me - smacks of a paid ad for Hyundai :) - agree re design, not to my taste either, but good to see more product going out.
Original concept drawings were clearly (maybe too obviously) leaning on Porsche elements (as stated in pic) but a more recent 'rendering' added a big dose of ugly imo :)! Supposedly will have the 800V architecture - other details on web.
Sorry but for me (and perhaps me alone!), there are so many levels of ugly on this car, interior and exterior, that I can't ever imagine owning one - again all about personal preferences and I guess I've shared mine :)!

I think the section introduction I copied in below from your article is really misleading and/or incorrect - using a mobile EVSE overnight is FAR from an 'absolute worse case' scenario and no different from using many 'destination' charger options out there nor for that mater from...
Interesting - think this needs to be seen in person to really appreciate the look, stance, detail - could alter my opinion but personally was not ever really a huge fan to begin with (heretical I know and from an Irishman :)!) but do appreciate the history and engineering of the original and...
The ChargePoint really is excellent and the comment about detailed utility cost breakdown tops it off - but as said, can’t go wrong with the other top picks.
Indeed - have to say hated and still do hate the i3 design but the iconic i8 was/is such an obvious platform to build forward with (at least high end) EV variants I was truly surprised that a full EV version did not appear.
We're waiting on the new Mini Cooper but obviously not a choice if you need a car sooner as absolute earliest I suspect we can order will be mid-late 2023 with even then no guarantee of an allocation!
First I'd seen of the Kia wagon - appears to be trying hard to echo the CT in certain ways re...
Thx for sharing. That grill again a non-starter for me but OK, let's park that.
The thing I find TBH just odd about this car is that it feels dare I say it dated? Listen, I've had various BMW (M's) over 20 years so was quite the fan, but when I look at this my gut reaction is more 'old' std...
Loved my 2015 M4 vert (just sold), but when this grill design appeared on the newer M cars too I was out - almost seems petty saying it but honestly cannot look at that thing with any respect for design - quite a few folk walked away from the brand based on this design trend which TBH is pretty sad.
I essentially agree with all of this although, with this sort of range, I guess the point is that you would not be limited to having to stop at a charging location, right? These ranges would thus truly wipe out range anxiety for most. And re looks I really dislike the design and could never be...
Digital mirrors are interesting but TBH sort of defeat the purpose if one of the reasons to have them is to reduce drag (many other reasons of course). These cameras seem to stick out almost as much as an 'analog' mirror - would have thought they could come up with a more hidden or lower...
Decided in the end to leverage the 60A breaker capacity of the HomeFlex with a hardwire install and a 60A breaker - other 14-50 receptacle will be used separately for a different application (will be changing hard wired setup for my 4-post lift to a plugged setup - will allow me to use with a...
I have two entirely separate lines each to a 14-50 receptacle and with separate indep breakers in the dedicated 100 amp panel. Always the option to convert one or both to hard wired but prefer two receptacles for now.
Yep - shared this in post bef yours :)
But I agree re the 60 A breaker - fine for an option to a hard wired ‘upgrade’ but not what my setup is obviously - going to get that corrected regardless, doesn’t make sense as is.
Seems to be some confusion here - to be clear - my HomeFlex is setup for 50 amp circuit drawing 40 amps - the breaker size of 60 amp installed by pro electrician (West Houston Electric) - in his words when I asked him re my choosing 50 amp circuit (despite a 60 amp breaker installed) in setting...
