2023 Genesis GV60 Review // Charge To Survive 

Its a contra band. As in 🫡

For the GV60 Advance, it's rated at 248 miles, in US EPA. Just a clarification

Range is based on 100% charge, which you are not supposed to do as it reduces batt life. Take 20% off for more of a real world range.

@@Fluterra charging a battery reduces battery life. That’s like saying running an internal combustion engine reduces engine life. Just park it in your garage forever, where it’ll be safe.

@@willsee7452 charging it fully and emptying the battery will make it degrade much faster than charging it till 80%, in the long term. that’s one of the many problems of storing electricity

Also some information coming from a GV60 owner: If you have the all wheel drive version and you put the car in eco mode, the car will mostly only use the rear motor, and shut down the front motor for efficiency I drive the RWD model, and that gives me 500+km range (computer does say 600km but that’s probably unlikely). RWD model only does 0-100 in 7 ish seconds, but i found it plenty Base level GV60 in Korea is about $15k more than Ioniq 5 & EV6. I think at that price range it’s worth it for the extended Genesis warranty (not sure how it works elsewhere, but it’s longer than hyundai in korea), and the premium feel you get. Also in Korea, when you buy a Genesis, they will offer you either a charging card with $500 topped up, or a Genesis branded home charger - we chose the former since we live in apartments, but it’s a nice option to have!

Wow that’s actually awesome. “No officer it’s just weed scented fragrance”

@Thor Odin son more than you can afford pal, Ferrari

@Thor Odin son Why do you get angry every time you look in the mirror? 😁

Hope they pin this comment

Exactlyyyyy

heres the thing........ you awesome

There was a time when it was just Thomas? I feel like I just got a glimpse of my father’s life before mom…or maybe mom’s life before dad…either way eeewwwww TMI.

You should watch the one on the Maserati MC20...got me hooked on these guys. Brillant.

@@hoonsenior6963I know I’m responding a year later 🤣. But yes, Thomas used to be by himself. It wasn’t THAT bad, and the production quality was still very good with a smaller team and solo host. I just recently watched a comparison test with a ‘16 GT350 vs and ‘18 M2. It was a full on track, which is what the channel WAS focused on. Very technical channel which, though very nice, covers a niche audience.

Porsche says hi xD

What dat mean?

It needs to say "Go, Baby, Go"

Its great haha! Super smart addition to an electric car in my opinion. Similar to the boost clock speed in a computer, electric cars have a certain thermal overhead in the wires where they can safely exceed their rated continuous power draw for a short time. Do it for too long and the wires in the motor windings will melt and the mosfets in the MSC will explode, but for 10 seconds its totally fine! So not only is it a clever and simple way to take advantage of that thermal overhead, but you get a feckin boost button! love it.

Needs a "DANGER TO MANIFOLD" Easter egg.

@Horror 🅥 why tho

@@roblox-bloxburg-EMMIE ikr, haha.

When they're together... That's when they're at their best 🥇

Not “some of” easily the best. Period.

They are at least in the top 50 on RU-vid..

Me too

It looks cheap and not solid at all when he was pushing it back in.

@@pnourani I looked at it again a couple of times I didn't think it looked cheap.

I don’t think their information on the topic of charging at home was as universal as it came across in the video. I think for most homeowners it is likely to be simpler and less expensive than they let on.

My house (also in the US) was probably a more complicated case, with a detached garage and the panel in the basement. I paid $1350 to get wiring run to the garage (about 20' away from the house) + the 14-50 outlet, but a "normal" house with an attached garage I'd expect to be much cheaper.

It's literally an electric dryer outlet

You know what is a sacrifice? $4.75/gallon gas for plain unleaded.

Nah, that exterior is barf.

Correct. I refuse to buy a car that won't even let you adjust anything manually. I hope that the digital era is over soon and analog switches and levers come back into style. There was a time in the 1950's when every car started using push buttons for everything. Then they stopped doing that in the 1960's. And then again in the 1980's every single far started having digital things and no more analog parts, but then in the 1990's they stopped using digital screens and went back to analog. There isn't a valid reason that Tesla doesn't use a steering wheel or adjustable vents or a gauge cluster with a dedicated speedometer. The overly synthetic computerized experience isn't what people need.

Just like Samsung & LG

They're less crappy these days, but they still have a way to go

I simply don't get it...why does it seem like almost everyone loves kia/hyundai design? I personally don't care for their looks, they are childishly overstyled imo (not in a good way like a supercar, but it a bad way like a fwd crossover) and aren't cars that anyone will care for 20 years later....they're just transportation, overpriced at this point too. That kia pinch grill thing looks terrible imo, but I think most people are impressed by kia and hyundai looks because they aren't car people...so that's what looks good to them. As an enthusiast who does everything themselves, I'm not gonna be owning a korean car anytime soon...they gotta come up with something really good and undercut the competitor price by a large margin for me to consider one...but they're just as expensive as anything else...yuck! Ultimately they're not built with Japanese quality or with Tesla technology/engineering.

@@VNCTHE1 Hyundai/kia and this car are ugly , but if you see the cloths and the music the general public like , it makes sense , most have bad taste

@@VNCTHE1 The Ioniq 5 is actually a nice looking car. Something about that subtle DeLorean style makes it appealing to even the biggest of diehard motorheads

what ev car are you looking at then?

Almost all of these "SUVs" are actually blinged and raised econohatches

Yeah, this car is just hideous and overstyled. Looks like it was designed by the people at Hyundai and Kia instead of Genesis lol.

You must see it in person. This one is very different between 2d / 3d.

i completely disagree, i think its bold and unique and looks pretty nice, i feel like it’ll grow on people

Agreed

Dont forget all the Ukraine flags

@@A6Legit the woke brigade will be sharpening their keyboards as we speak, ready to post a barrage of insults accusing Throttle House of being racists.

@@A6Legit What???

@@canadianaviator blue and yellow?

And everything IKEA

I agree, though I've only seen the EV6 in person. If I did more freeway miles, EV6 with it's range advantage might win out. If you do more local driving, Ioniq5

It looks like a bee

it looks kinda retarded to be honest.

Not sure on that working properly. Hyundai/Kia is now recalling 500k cars for engine fires.

I’m glad they’re doing good with their EVs cause I personally HATE their ICE cars. Other than like the N and GT line stuff, every modern Hyundai and Kia I’ve driven has been awful. Hopefully their EVs change that

@@rdramos13 Are there any car companies that have not recalled? You are so malicious. Volkswagen, Toyota and GM have all recalled a lot.

@@TheBlubberWhale If they were so bad like you say, they wouldn't be top sellers...

They still need to catch up on range and efficiency too.

Ioniq 5 is probably the most interesting looking EV.

@@johnsmith-cw3wo The VW Buzz is on that list, too. But the real question for any EV is range and charging time.

It was, in fact, acting. First, anyone charging at an Electrify America (or Electrify Canada) station WILL have created an account in the app (create it once and make your life easy for all time). With that account, no interaction with the terminal is required AT ALL. Initiate charge in the app, plug the handle into your car, and you’re charging. (I have an Ioniq 5 and am speaking from experience.)

In the UK being able to pay by normal debit card without an account is increasingly common in fact I understand the government requires of all new charging points a contactless or pin payment option without an account. So it is that easy!

Don’t understand all the “see how easy it is” enthusiasm. I live in rural western Canada. You pull up to the gas station, tap your card, select type of fuel and pump your gas. Been that way for years. I’d expect nothing less from an EV refuelling station. I don’t even opt for the paper receipt anymore because every time I use the card I get a push notification and an emailed receipt. Honestly, as new tech I thought the car would act as it’s own debit/credit card and exchange the info with the charging station when the plug was connected. You’d get a monthly bill from (insert credit card company and/or major auto manufacturer here) for your energy purchases. Sounds like a better revenue stream than BMW’s monthly option rental scheme which has completely turned me off of the brand.

@@hoonsenior6963 I understand your point. To be clear, I’m not suggesting that it is easier than buying and filling up with gasoline/petrol. I’m suggesting it is easier than it is dramatically shown to be in many reviews. I’m saying in some sense that what some reviewers seem to call an issue is not, in reality, an issue.

It's really only a small amount of adaptation to fit it into your current lifestyle. And if a long trip, more than a day trip, won't work with your EV, then rent a gas car. You still emit much CO2. Not bad. My '17 Leaf is much the same way, and the wife has our remaining gasser for long trips and bulky items.

Electrify America is the best option. Most reliable, most charging options (55kw, 150kw, 350kw), all you NEED is a credit card

Frustrate America chargers are notoriously unreliable. Failure rates exceed 50%. And they are not prepared to keep them maintainaned. Please write your local and federal government officials and ask them not to subsidize more chargers with irresponsible companies that have very frustrating user experiences. Telling them they have problems with their chargers doesn't help with Electrify America (frustrate and stifle America's electric growth, that's what is happening) Please write your officials. Electrify America is willfully negligent on maintenance and customer service. No more funding for incompetent charging companies...only those that verifiably demonstrate high reliability

@@stephenclarke5739 Unfortunately it very much depends on where you live. The early chargers rolled out by EA were made by ABB from industrial power supplies designed to power massive robots in factories. They were not designed to sit in Texas parking lots in the summer heat and be operated by consumers. EA and ABB can be forgiven for this. EA was under court order to build out a charging network as part of the dieselgate scandal, but there was no supplier at the time able to produce large numbers of purpose-built EV chargers and ABB had the ability to cobble something together for them when nobody else could. EA made the EV revolution possible for cars other than Tesla in the US. Today we are stuck with these older systems in many cities while more recently installed systems are more reliable. EA recently raised half a billion dollars (not from the government) to expand its network and replace older systems. This process is ongoing today. I travel by EV regularly and have never been stranded. Planning my trips and looking ahead on the EA app to ensure chargers are working helps, but even when at a charger that is giving me trouble I have never not been able to charge. Calling the EA help line and being polite has always gotten me on my way. Often just having a charger rebooted solves the problem. The older chargers suffer from the heat in hot climates and may be slower than advertised. Older interface units, the thing you plug in to, sometimes have difficulty communicating to the vehicle, especially if you have a prepaid plan from your OEM. Your OEM may have a work-around. Mine does. Worth checking. This is all new. It will take time to work itself out. Planning and constructive communication is more helpful than demanding that the government "Do Something!"

Talking USD here, but you can get a great EVSE (Emporia) for under $500. I had 50 ft of conduit from a 50a breaker installed to an external NEMA 14-50 for about $1000. installation at $3-$6k CAD is an insane number that doesn’t seem right.

Model 3 owner in the USA here. My install had to dig 16 feet of conduit to my detached garage, plus I got the Tesla charger. I spent $1000. But then got a tax rebate for $350 back. So pretty affordable in my book. 3-6k seems insanely high.

I have been quoted $10k in California for the panel upgrade in order to charge an electric car.

its the built in hot box attachment

No way it's a 4 second 0-60

It’s a Hyundai 😂

@@canadianaviator 😂😂

Yep EV's are the ultimate daily commuters if one's intention isn't to use them for road trips. Agree.

I'd love to have an EV for my daily commute, but until they come down in price to between 25-30k US they won't be for me. I also will need to refinance my house and pull a bit of extra money out to have a garage build so I have a place to charge the car as well.

Cost should come down soon, but right now definitely more in low level luxury price range. Lots of people put charger on outside of house or garage, and charge outside. That works great. No need to build a garage just to charge.

@@Gilamang Because EVs cost more than I want to pay for a car right now I haven't delved too deep into what it would take to have a charger installed, I assumed that it needed to be in a garage because that's where they are when I see pictures of them. TY for the info.

@@renegadezen7841 The truth is that for commuting a range of 100-150 miles is plenty. Right now, the longer-range EVs are kind of in no-man's land. They have more range than needed for commuting (thus costing more) but not quite enough to make long trips viable (especially in western North America where populations are sparse).

Ever since I lost my job with the ministry, I have been surviving through my investment with him, am so glad I invested when I did. I’m earring $25k weekly with him

Investment is that tiny line that separates the rich from the poor.

His successful stories are everywhere

please I have been hearing about this pomah hectop from my colleagues at work. How do I easily reach out to him

He has really made name for himself,

The only incorrect thing I’d mention is the charger. You can get a 240v wall outlet installed for a few hundred and that’ll fully charge your car overnight. But I agree with all the other points.

@@Jaxamuss Yeah I have no idea where they got $6k from, whoever quoted them is taking them for a ride

@@Jaxamuss 'a few hundred' is hardly enough to cover labor to install it. electricians aren't free yk

@@RU-vidAIbot They also don't cost $6k to run a single outlet in a normal family home. This isn't surgery in America

EV6 FTW

Anyone is free to make insane statements unrelated to reality. Just sucks when elected officials do it.

agree

Same

Only day if that’s ever released…

the 71-79k price point is insanity. I think Genesis is already putting itself on the level of premium german manufacturers in pricing

These are far better than the electric Audis.

All technology is like that. Prices decrease as production vume scales up.

@Horror 🅥 no, nothing is here. I am not excited about ice cream.

I assume, given the naming structure, that this will be an "entry-level" vehicle slotting below the electric GV70 in price, size, and features. You're right, though: it'll probably cannibalize sales.

​@@RogueBagel you're definitely right about that and I think you can't tell by looking at the interior. It definitely looks nice but it looks lower quality than the GV70 which in my opinion also looks better on the inside and out. The pricing that they showed in the video looked to be very close to the GV70 in price and assuming the electric GV70 will cost the same it'll definitely be a tough sell for most likely u said 😁

@@RogueBagel if the entry level is 71,000 I have a hard time picturing the GV70 and 80 being in a reasonable price range where you wouldn't just go to Tesla for model X or similar competition.

@@jonsong4592 fair point! Maybe they broke their alphabet soup with this one.

@@jonsong4592 I wish they'd bring the G80 electric over here; that car is gorgeous!

Thats why looks are subjective 😂 people are aloud to be wrong lmao

@@VaunShiz true, they are also allowed to be

Not all dealers mark up. Many people just travel to get the car and roadtrip home. For a 50k+ purchase it's worth it. I bought an Expedition and a camper in California and drove them home to Texas.

Made me uncomfortable just watching them scroll through the damn thing. Ha ha ha ha, bang boom, people are dead. Interfaces like that should disable while driving.
