Are EV’s Practical without At-Home Charging?

I went there today for the first time. Got there and all 3 stalls were taken but 10 minutes later all 3 were empty. The cars were oddly all Hyundai EVs. Charged and left. Wasn’t actually a bad experience. It might require some planning to avoid busier times but overall not bad.

You were lucky there were no Bolts charging to full.

Or in general.

Dirt cheap Hyundai lease deals + 2 years free charging.

I think sometimes it might look worse than it is if all the chargers are taken, because unless all 3 of those people showed up 5 minutes ago, at least one of them is likely close to being done. I’ve never had wait more than a few minutes even at a full charging station, assuming I’m first or second in line.

Thought of those dirt cheap leases when a friend showed this to me. Dealership has 15 new 2023 Ioniq 5s. Those 15 should have been amongst those dirt cheap leases.

Some car dealerships really make me wonder. How do you end up with leadership this brutally incompetent

If the $30k is real, it’s not a horrible deal.

I mean, it is for them.

Ouch. Bad inventory management, worse cash flow.

Under $30k would be a nice deal on one of those. I’m in a leased one now….really great car. Very pleased for my initial EV experiment.

See, anything is possible-if you put your mind to it and COMMIT :joy: Unplug One (Ioniq 5) and plug another (Tesla Y) at 5:55 AM :call_me_hand: FREE Clipper Creek Charging

Also, Hyundai will send the NACS DC adapters, soon

Is Genesis doing the same?

Haven’t received anything for my GV60…

Check this, you should be getting one too

Genesis EV Charging Adapter Now Available.

I did see this but never got any communication from them. I’ll try to give them a call tomorrow and try to get one before my lease expires.

There’s a 10-station Electrify America near us and we’ve only charged our EQS SUV there due to the fast and free charging.

My mailed notice said to update my info by June 13th, so assuming they will send it after that… :man_shrugging:
Also, make sure you’re subscribed to get e-mail notifications in the Genesis account…
