Our Hyundai Ionic EV after a year
After a year with our new EV, overall we are very pleased with our choice. The car drives easily and well, the inside is roomy and comfortable, and the charging with our driveway Level 2 charger also works smoothly and well. One the best features is the well over 350 mile range of this new EV, so with this car that we use mostly for local errands and visits, we only need to charge it about every 3 weeks. Another feature that we insisted on, having an NACS charger port, has worked out well too. Without an adapter, I can plug this EV into the many Tesla supercharger sites already spread around our region and country. I also keep handy the adapter, which we recently used on a driving trip up the East Coast of the US. The only thing that arises as an annoyance is the large size of the vehicle. Even though a standard SUV size, it's far wider and longer than our previous vehicle. This means that pulling out of the narrow driveway of our 103 year old home is always a challenge. Also, I have already has several conversations with people at a couple of different shop parking lots, where the cars are too large for the older parking spaces - causing us to agree that the remedy IS NOT bigger parking spaces, but instead offering what used to be standard sized cars instead of the supersized ones that our carmakers pump us to want.
