DRIVING MY IONIQ 5 TILL IT NO LONGER MOVES!

EV Channels Review

The Ioniq Guy embarks on a stressful but informative journey to determine the real-world range of his Hyundai Ioniq 5 SEL AWD past the 0% battery mark. The test reveals a surprising buffer, with the car continuing to move for approximately 8-10 miles beyond the displayed zero range. While initial acceleration remained decent up to 40 mph, the vehicle's power significantly diminished, limiting top speeds and responsiveness, especially on inclines. The experience culminated in the car completely losing power on a side road, necessitating assistance from good samaritans and a slow charge to get home. The reviewer concludes that while a buffer exists, pushing the battery this far is not recommended due to the potential for stranding, especially on busy roads. The video highlights the importance of understanding EV battery limits for range anxiety but underscores the stress involved in such extreme testing.
