Thanks for taking a look at the description! I've got the link to the thermal camera used in this video below! i may earn money from you buying using the link Genesis electrified GV70 Thermal Camera for iOS Amazon: amzn.to/3JR4ztk
Nice car. Not one that I can afford. But I can tell you that I am just happy to get a charge. I have been driving EVs since 2017, and it's far better now than then. Yes I like getting great speeds on the charging.
When a station says in use on the app, but really isn't, you can still use it. Just plug in first and when prompted for payment, tap your phone on the square that says members tap here. Also, it's kind of funny that along I95 the most reliable stations (aside from the new single cables) are the 2 old ABB ones (Somerdale, NJ and Pooler, GA).
For anyone without free charging, you would save quite a few dollars with EA Pass+.. Averages $0.12/kWh less for $4 a month. You save money after 33 kW.
Indeed! I used 4 different networks, and still only actually paid about 20$ because of leftover charging credits from the bolt with EVgo (which you can use with chargepoint), and we did for chargepoint, everywhere but in Myrtle beach, as that chargepoint wasn’t connected for some reason, and current credits, for free 30 minute electrify America sessions, and of course the circle k charging being free.
Never having been to the USA, or even had an EV _(Yet!),_ but do you have to download loads of different apps to use the different charging stations like we have to in the UK which is bl00dy ridiculous? In all my 45 years of driving vehicles with engines, I've never had to download anything before filling up with fuel. Just turn up, fill up, pay with cash or card and drive off. *_Having to download different apps for different charging stations is beyond me. Especially when sometimes, you can't even get a signal to download the app for that station before using it._*
As much as I like this GV70, I would rather drive my Hyundai Ioniq plug in hybrid for this road trip, absolutely no range anxiety with 60 mpg. I can plug it in as well whenever I want to.
Thanks... as someone contemplating this vehicle, this is very helpful. I'm just curious about your average speed compared to your efficiency? I have a trip in mind that is about 360km but mostly on rural 50 mph speed limit roads where I would be doing ~55-60 mph the whole time and wondering if the GV 70 Electrified will beat it's rating on such a trip under mostly ideal conditions. Wondering if you'd be so kind as to share your thoughts. Thanks!
Did you use the in-car navigation system to navigate between charging stops? I have the GV70 EV and haven't done a road trip in it yet. I changed from a Tesla, in that I could put in a destination and the car would automatically route me via charging stations. Does the Genesis GV70 EV do the same thing?
I live in the UK and it's the same here - intermitent reliable charging stations outside of Tesla. I had a Jaguar iPace for 3 years that was on the 1st Gen 400v battery so it could only charge up to a max of 100kW. I've ordered a Genesis GV70 Electrified, due in Dec or Jan'24; one of the reasons being it's ability to charge at a faster rate than the Jag......... but I suspect I'll find very few Ionity 350kW chargers working. We live in hope ;-)
