    I love this car, all naysayers be damned.

    I am really you are happy! The Tesla drive train is defiantly a plus. This is the first Koren car that I have owned. I was in the Mercedes for its EV. The prestige was not a factor. If it was I would not have gone Hyundai!

    I love this car, all naysayers be damned.

    Every thing is relative. I loved my B until I compared it to the IoniQ. Safety nannies in a new car are it for me. Let's face it the car is a minimum effort CARB car.

    Which Model Year/Build Should I Buy, & Mountainous Terrain

    I changed cars to get more features. The Mercedes Blind Spot merely lights a red LED on the mirror and the cruse control is not enhanced. Hyundai really takes safety seriously, The Blind Spot lights a LED on the mirror ans a warning tone sounds.

    Newbie to the B250e

    I traded in (Lease return) my B for a InioQ. It has more bells and whistles than the B. So far I am happy with my choice. This is the second car I leased at list., The first was my 2012 Leaf. Leasing means an early turn in costs. Oh well, I am happy.

    Adding CarPlay to a 2015

    My 2017 had car play and the wiring was completely different.from my 2014. It now had 2 usb ports and no old fashioned analog input. You may have to change out the wiring harness as well. I never use car play or Google but both of my cars support it. It sounds like a lot of expense unless you...

    By all means if your time is not valuable head over to the dealer. I would not unless the error persists.

    Malfunction visit workshop display message

    That could very well be a transient error. I once had that in my B. It went away after restarting=g the car and it never came back. I agree that =is a heart stopping error message.

    Charging on public level 2 chargers

    Most Blink EVSEs are dialed back to 24A from 30A. They had problems with the original cable. Given that most voltage is at 208V 24A is 4.99 kwh. only home EVSE's are at 240VAC. Also most EVSE;s top out at 30A. Only a few home EVSE;s supply the full 40A. 208V is what you get from Wye supping...

    Next EV?

    Next EV?

    I had a year and a half left. My payment is similar to the old one . Mercedes took the car back with no reconditioning fee. I had a high lease payment due to the VW. Leaving a lease early just kills you. The leasing company wants the remaining payments. I guess I am a fool but I like all of the...

    Next EV?

    The IoniQ EV forum is even deader than this one!

    Next EV?

    I did find out Huyndai is really serious about safety. I drove off without the seat belt fastened. The car beeped at me until I fixed the problem. The B just lights the dash occasionally. My passenger did not belt up and I noticed the B's behavior.

    Next EV?

    The EPA ratings are 150 City and 122 Highway. The combined mileage is 136 Miles vs 84 for the B.

    Next EV?

    The relativity short range does not bother me. The B's range was fine. It is twice the B.

    Next EV?

    I got a call about the 35K model 3. Too late, so far I love my IoniQ EV. Compared to the B it is filled with options. The Limited seems to have all of the bells and whistles.

    Level 1 EVSE fault

    In the US the supplied EVSE is 120V only. If you are somewhere else than good luck. There are very few users not in North America.

    Next EV?

    So far I like it a lot' It is filled with Bells and Whistles and of course it has double range. The car has Infinity sound VS Harmon Karden but it sounds good to me At 155 miles I am just getting used to it.

    Next EV?

    Well I looked at a Hydundia IonIq And I purchased (leased) it so I will not be around here much. I have a problem looking at cars but it has more range and it is filled with high tech toys. Unlike the VW I fit in to it just fine. Now I need to transfer my ham radio, Oh well, A project.

    White stickers don't really go well

    You are right. The stickers are required for the car pool lanes. The white expire at the end of the year,. Now red sticker are the in thing.. On my 2017 I did not bother applying for stickers. I rarely used my old stickers. Being retired means you do not drive as much.

    Level 1 EVSE fault

    The problem with the B is that it is strictly a CARB car and it was not sold in all states. Fortunately I live in California which is the original CARB state. It is my understanding the Koren cars will also be restricted. Non CARB cars are Tesla, Bolt, and the Leaf. Most of the rest are limited.
