IONIQ 5 EURO ROADTRIP PART 2: ITALY TO ENGLAND WITH A GRUMPY FAMILY

EV Channels Review

This video documents a road trip from Italy back to England in a Hyundai IONIQ 5, accompanied by family and a dog. The reviewer highlights the car's practicality for luggage, with the boot and front storage accommodating significant gear. Charging experiences were generally positive, with the car often charging faster than expected, sometimes reaching 100% before the family finished eating. However, the reviewer expresses frustration with the inconvenience of charging stops, stating that for long distances, EVs add significant time (an extra hour for every three hours of driving) and cost, making petrol cars a more appealing option for such journeys. The reviewer also notes issues with some hotel chargers not being compatible with their card and the general inconvenience of needing to move the car once charging is complete. Despite the criticisms regarding charging logistics and time, the reviewer acknowledges the smooth and quiet driving experience of the IONIQ 5 and its environmental benefits.
