Technology Connections

Hi! Aging Wheels has a new video in which a special guest (it's me!) goes on an EV road trip. We wanted to see what it would be like to take a not-Tesla on a long-distance trip in 2022. You can watch his video now, and I'll be back soon with a closer look at the charging tech!

I absolutely adore both Aging Wheels and you, Alec! If you hit the road again and ever need help filming a video in the Chattanooga TN area (or honestly anywhere between Nashville, Birmingham, and Atlanta) get in touch with me.

I have a Volt. I took it from Louisiana to Colorado and back. I know it's not a pure EV but considering I drive my Volt 90 miles a day and I use a third of a gallon of fuel, I'd say >90% of my normal driving is EV. Makes long trips seamless and still efficient. GM shouldn't have dropped the line.

I had to put on the CC to understand a word I was unfamiliar with on one of your videos. I discovered you've hidden tons of Easter egg humor sprinkled throughout and from now on I always read your subtitles! I feel like I'm now in an elite cadre of your followers, because I'm sure most other native English speakers don't bother with the CC. More for me then! Well done.

We recently bought a new EV6, the cousin of the IONIQ 5. It will be interesting to see what it will be like to take it out of southern California later in the year when I make a semi-regular trip to Tucson. I'll check out the vid.

I know you have the answer for this. I'm so close to calling the governing body on this topic. Do EV brake lights go on when regeneration? I'm q trick driver and i have noticed the amount of times where the EV is slowing down as if brakes were to be applied. This is dangerous, especially when I see videos on EV cars not even needing the brakes .

I do cross European road trips and charging was never something I worry about. Even the most obscure locations far from home have DC chargers. Not always 350kW like here in The Netherlands, but 50kW is even in rural Eastern Europe not that impossible to find. Main issue is still, excluding Germany, that there are too many providers. I have 5 cards so I can charge with most chargers when I am outside NL / Germany. And sometimes they don't even work and payment with QR/creditcard is broken.

Probably could've been less miles if you didn't do that loop-de-loop in the middle 🤪

Hi! As an owner of a 2014 Hyundai Sonata, I was wondering if you have any opinion on the quality control for your Ioniq 5? I've seen generally positive things about hyundai's recent EVs but from personal experience I have deep reservations about the quality of the wiring and electronics in their cars. I can't help thinking ''OK but are we going to see lots of problems with these cars 5 years from now?'', as my Sonata has been developing several serious issues(most of which I've remedied), starting around the 80k mark. Do you think Hyundai as a brand has improved the quality of their cars since 2014?

I do not know why I hooked up on half hour long essays about disc and video formats, but it is happening. Just wanted to let you know.
