502. The Challenges Of Charging The New Ioniq 5 With NACS On A 2,000 Mile Roadtrip
24:00||Ep. 502I sat down with Corbin, who just took delivery of a 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 with native NACS, to hear about his 2,000-mile road trip across the country. He tested Tesla Superchargers, Electrify America, EVGO/Pilot, Rivian Adventure Network, and even Ionna stations, facing both smooth sessions and unexpected issues along the way. With Tesla’s 500V limit on V3 cabinets, using NACS on an 800V EV isn’t as easy as it sounds.Thank You Corbin, check out his channel and roadtrip video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZVaVgVOvj0Ioniq 5 versus the Model 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7F0h1jXlMAShoutout to our sponsors for more information find their links below:- Fort Collins Kia: Visit focokia.com for full details.

Tesla Unlocks 325kW Charging For Cybertruck At All North American V4 Superchargers
18:47||Ep. 501Check Out Our Out of Spec Data: https://outofspecstudios.com/chargingTesla has officially uncorked all V4 Supercharger posts in North America, allowing the Cybertruck to charge at up to 325kW! This is made possible by increasing amperage to 900A, thanks to the improved cooling of V4 dispensers. However, these chargers are still using V3 cabinets, meaning they remain limited to 500V output.What does this mean for Cybertruck owners? Will other Tesla vehicles see faster charging speeds? And when will true V4 cabinets with 1000V and 500kW arrive? Join me as I break down everything you need to know about Tesla’s latest Supercharger upgrade!Shoutout to our sponsors for more information find their links below:- Fort Collins Kia: Visit focokia.com for full details.

Volvo EX30 Is Coming To The US But There’s A Catch
18:41||Ep. 498The Volvo EX30 is finally making its way to the U.S., built in Belgium to avoid Chinese EV tariffs imposed by the US. Starting at $44,900, it's a big jump from the original $35,000 first advertised, but that is because this base version we get in the US today is a dual-motor AWD, so it isn't the cheapest Volvo expects to ship, yet. Yes we will still get the RWD version starting at a lower price. This AWD version offers 243 miles of EPA-estimated range and a quick 0-60 time of 3.4 seconds. In this video, I’ll break down the U.S.-specific trims, pricing, and how this version compares to the ones sold in Europe and China. I’ll also go over the key features and what options you’ll get here in the U.S. market. What do you think about the EX30’s pricing and features?Shoutout to our sponsors for more information find their links below:- Fort Collins Kia: Visit focokia.com for full details.
