@aussie2uGA 9 дней назад

The charging debacle for this is a major setback. The door is on the wrong side to use Tesla charger, then they cannot charge at full speed. If you can find an out of the way Electrify America station to theoretically charge quickly, you're playing Russian roulette that it will even turn on. We got spoiled by the perfect Tesla charging experiences over the years and now when you step into something like a Rivian or Kia, you really miss knowing a "supercharger" is going to be close, working, and fast. I'd pass on the KIA until things get sorted out.

I work for a company that supplies chargers to EA and I do maintenance on them. The one pictured is not from my company. EA mainly bought chargers from three companies. And instead of having those companies do maintenance on the chargers, they tried to have a single company not affiliated with any of those three do all of the maintenance. What happened was a disaster. EA then decided that they needed my company to do the maintenance on our chargers. So I started a year ago. At that time, you'd be lucky if 1-2 chargers at the 9 stations I routinely go to worked. Now it's maybe 1-2 chargers at all of my stations are down. But, I think EA is going to drop us doing the maintenance on our chargers since we are too "expensive." You get what you pay for though. EA did put some chargers at a new station at a mall from the company shown in the video. Within a week, five of the six chargers were down. And Hyundai and Kia make drastically better cars than Tesla. Tesla has way more confusing menus and controls than any car I've ever driven. Plus the drivers are snobs.

@Yanquetino 9 дней назад

It's amazing how fast these E-GMP platforms charge at 350kW chargers, but… 'tis true that Electrify America had GOT to do better by expanding their sites, and with more *reliable* stations. Me? I'd forego the matte paint and opt for the lighted accents instead. I can attest that the forward camera is truly useful! 'Tis true that at Superchargers the max charging rate is limited (most examples I've seen are at 97kW), but… those rates *hold steady* all the way to 80%, nearly twice as fast as the percentage a Tesla has dropped to at 80%. I can tell you that I've learned to love my digital rear view mirror. Did you notice that, to change the cabin filter, you simply open a cover to access it at the back of the frunk? So much more convenient and easy than crawling into the footwell in your Tesla! For a family with kids like yours, the EV9 is the winner. No question. Can't wait to see your roadtrip in one.

@BrianNedry 9 дней назад

The Kia Ev9 is a very nice full size 3 row Ev and as some options that I'm surprised that Tesla doesn't offer yet, maybe they will in time. The major head scratcher is that it's 2024 and we are halfway to 2025 and Tesla Superchargers still can't deliver charging speeds to take advantage of a 800v system. Don't get me wrong, the superchargers are very reliable and easy to use but they seem to be lagging in charging speeds compared to Electrify America or even fast chargers in Europe or Asia. I guess it wouldn't be good for their sales if the supercharger was able to deliver 200-250 kwh to non Tesla vehicles with 800v systems that can use Nacs. Imagine watching a Ev9 at the same SOC plugs in the same time you plug in your Tesla model X and the Ev9 finishes charging 10-15 mins before you, that wouldn't be amusing.

@davidbeppler3032 8 дней назад

Maybe if VW loses another multi billion dollar settlement they can update and expand EA. Until that happens, nothing will change. Well... things will get worse.

@davidmenasco5743 2 дня назад

Yes, it's easy to get stuck on the "peak" number and forget that what actually determines the charging experience is not that single number, but the full charging curve, or in other words, the total time spent at the charger. In this respect, both Tesla and Kia are among the best. Although, Lucid and Porsche can do even better, if you can afford it, and if you find a good 350kW charger - which is becoming easier almost every day.

@EVunedited 9 дней назад

Here in Canada the diff in price with the Model X is so great that there is no competition. EV9 wins against the Model X.. And even their lower trim can beat the Model Y. Only issue with it is the lack of 360 camera on the lower trims.

@raemill4089 7 дней назад

We have a GT trim and love it! They charge at around 220kw max, not 350kw. As for EA, it is def not the best network but we just road tripped a couple days ago and had no problems other than one station was full with one of the charging stations not working. We were in Atlanta and another station was relatively close by and practically empty. First charger we pulled in worked great and got from 20% to 83% in about 25 mins easy.

Did Ford fix all the major problems they had with the Mach e? I heard there were a bunch of recalls for this car. Also, the Tesla charging port is a NACS port, not the 1772, but I know what you mean. I am curious, how fast does the Mach e charge on the Tesla supercharging (250KW) superchargers? Also, what type of batteries is Ford using? If Ford is using the wrong battery chemistry, the range of the batteries will significantly degrade in just a few years. Ford has a tendency to cheap-out and screw their customers in hidden ways.

Hi there. Nice video. So my comment is slightly off topic but on brand for you I think. I noticed you have a Rheem gas water heater (50 gal?) in your garage & wanted to suggest you look into upgrading to an all electric Rheem hybrid water heater. It's a heat pump water heater with two heating elements (hence hybrid) & it's awesome. We have 1 & run it on heat pump only & it kicks butt. It will also cool & dehumidify your garage as it heats your water. FYI we have 3 EVs, 1 kid & I plumb for a living. :) Cheers.

@@JonathanRootD I don't know whether it's different in the EV9, but in the Ioniq 6 on the same platform, it doesn't let you lock the car from the outside with utility mode on, and it doesn't have the large message on the display telling potentially concerned passersby that the climate control is running and the pet is at a safe temperature, so it's not really equivalent. Granted, that could be different in the EV9, and it could be changed with a software update even if it isn't. You might be able to do what some people have found success doing with the Ioniq 5, where you can lock the doors from the outside by reaching in through the open driver's window to use the inside switches; pressing the door lock button on the armrest, then activating the window to close and pulling your arm out before it gets caught. That doesn't work so well on the Ioniq 6 because those controls are on the centre console, and people generally can't reach that far.

@mullholand 7 дней назад

It just doesn't make sense for the charging port to be anywhere but the driver's side rear. Driver Front - have to close the door and walk to the front. Passenger side - front or back - have to walk around the car to charge. Driver Read - open door - plug in - done... door can stay open -

@seabream 6 дней назад

If you have curbside charging, which is more common in some places, you want the port on the curb side. You're usually going there anyway, you don't have to stand in traffic to plug and unplug your car, you aren't pulling the cable across your car's paint (if it's a cable on an overhead retractor), and it's not sticking into traffic where it can catch passing cyclists. Arguably the inconvenience to drivers who don't usually use curbside changing is outweighed by the danger to people who do. You can have a preference, but please don't say that there's no reason why other preferences exist.

The huge key fobs are ridiculous. Men put their keys in their pockets. No man wants that humongous key fob in their pocket. I guess this vehicle is just for women.

Hyundai and Kia make good EVs, but their software is horrendous! Features buried in layers of menus, super outdated maps with terrible route planning, etc. 🤔

The very newest infotainment (CCNC) in the EV9 is much, much better now. But Tesla still crushes it. We own both… I’m glad my car is the Model Y.

The Kia is totally crushing Tesla in almost everything. Kia is a premium car brand, Tesla is not. But Tesla biggest problem is that all models are outdated, booring and lack a lot of new tech. The competition is way ahead of Tesla, and they have a massive homework to do. ...and to get rid of Elon asap, a total embarrasment to the Tesla brand, once the leading EV manufacture

Tesla opening up its charging network will be a nightmare. Unless they retro fit their stations to have cables on both sides or be center positioned.

@scottbreseke716 9 дней назад

Only SOME of the charging stations will be opened up to other EVs, not all of them.

As long as we are all driving BEV’s some day… it’s all good. Pick what you want. Keep in mind DON’T buy a BEV that can’t use NACs and the Tesla charger network. She points out why in the video.

Wouldn't it be better for range that car is not the size and shape of a small house? Why people love these "SUV"s that they do not use for sport or utility? European "caravans" that have same front shape as limousine (and aero) but longer ass with 3 row seats are so much better looking than this...

Cybertruck will definitely get the tax credit, battery cells and packs made in Austin by Tesla so if they need to change where some raw materials are sourced from to get the credit that will be easy to do.

I’m sorry, but this makes no sense to buy this car maxes out fully loaded at $80,000. First of all, it’s a Kia The range isn’t great at all the charging set up currently without it being Tesla is a joke and you’re not getting any benefits that you couldn’t get from a literal $45,000 gasoline equivalent. Such a rip off to pay double the price to get an electric vehicle just to save probably $50 a month on charging while getting far less range more hassle having to wait to charge and having to deal with the subpar charging system that isn’t Tesla’s

@yamkoo100278 8 дней назад

Kia will have an adapter to charge on Tesla's supercharger network soon.
