900 MILE IONIQ 5 ROAD TRIP TO QUEBEC CANADA

EV Channels Review

The Ioniq Guy details a 900-mile round trip road trip from Boston to Quebec City in his Hyundai Ioniq 5. He opted for the Ioniq 5 over the Ioniq 6 primarily to utilize his comma 3X hands-off driving system. The reviewer highlights the efficiency of the Ioniq 5, averaging 3.3 to 3.5 miles per kWh with highway speeds around 65-72 mph, even with elevation changes and rain. He was impressed with Quebec's charging infrastructure, noting the convenience of using a single app for multiple charging networks like Circuit Electrique and Circle K. A minor issue with a Circle K charger not working initially and a billing anomaly with Circuit Electrique were resolved positively. The reviewer also noted that BlueLink services cease to function in Canada. Overall, the trip was completed with only three charging stops totaling 70 minutes, costing approximately $60 USD for 900 miles, which he found to be excellent value. The reviewer expresses a strong positive impression of the Ioniq 5's performance and Quebec's renewable energy sources for EV charging.
