Changing Vehicles

17 January 2026

Surprise! It’s a new Hyundai IONIQ 5:

As much as I loved my IONIQ 6, I really wanted to get the ability to precondition the battery on demand for fast charging, so that was the primary reason driving me to the I5. Road trips will be a bit different now as this vehicle is certainly a change and it is slightly less efficient than the IONIQ 6 was. But life’s an adventure and I’m looking forward to getting this one out on a long trip sometime in late Spring or Summer.
