Thanks @fffffred !
I always underestimate mature industry unseen work, especially when it comes to testing and validation (page 12 and 13 of the magazine).
@francisco.shi's impressive workshop must have one of these!!

Re: SAD FRIDAY FOR KONA ELECTRIC
That's the first time I see kona's 'engine bay'. Lot's of space!
I wonder if Hyundai actually worked harder in the beginning to make kona pure ev (instead adapting it from petrol model), that'll be a big frunk!

Re: getting small business to share their powerpoints
I need DCFC every 80km due to my dismal 13kWh usable capacity
My definition of usable capacity:
My definition of usable capacity:
- Between Very Low Battery Warning (Leaf-speak) and 80% charge, as anything beyond 80% charge is waaaay to slow (again, leaf-speak).
- 100kph travel (that's 16kWh/100km for me)

Re: Why we bought the 2020 Ioniq
Thanks for putting so much an effort in your buying decisions (and share it).
It's very encouraging when someone puts embodied emission AND home charging infrastructure research into the decisions.
