NATIVE NACS ON 2025 HYUNDAI IONIQ 5! 10-80% CHARGING TEST ON TESLA SUPERCHARGER AGAINST MODEL 3

EV Channels Review

This video presents a compelling real-world charging comparison between the 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 Limited and a Tesla Model 3, utilizing a Tesla Supercharger with the new NACS port. The primary focus is a 10-80% charging test, revealing that the IONIQ 5, despite using a non-optimized network, significantly outperforms the Model 3 in holding its charging speed. The IONIQ 5 peaked at 123 kW and maintained a strong curve, finishing the 10-80% charge in 30 minutes and 37 seconds. In contrast, the Model 3, while peaking higher initially at 250 kW, saw its speed drop precipitously, resulting in a 31 minute and 53 second charge time. The test was further complicated by the Model 3 unexpectedly stopping charging for approximately 2 minutes, though the IONIQ 5 still managed to win. While the IONIQ 5 delivered more energy, the Model 3 was noted as being more efficient, offering potentially greater range. The review highlights the importance of charging curve consistency over peak speed and questions Tesla's charging curve optimization for non-Tesla vehicles.
