hey everybody it's the ionic guy again in today's video i've got some
more accessories from best ev mod i've got their trunk liner their seat back protectors
and their retractable cargo cover so let's get into it
so for the last few weeks i've been testing best ev mods trunk liner as well as their seat back
protectors and i gotta say i really like them so when i bought my ionic 5 it did come with a floor
protector and the seat back protectors from the factory and i didn't really want to pay for them
but i didn't have an option they're just what came installed from the port and i got to say
i do like the look of these a lot more than the oem version i like this material that
they're making these out of it's called xpe and it's kind of rubbery uh it's kind of plasticky
it's made of foam in the center so it's nice and soft it's also easy to clean it's lightweight
so when i did receive this it was folded into quarters and all i did was i put this in the trunk
and then i put the existing floor mat on top of this and weighed it down for a few
days to take that crease out and it did a good job at doing that
the crease is no longer noticeable and i gotta say it looks pretty good the only thing i'm not crazy
about which the oem floor mat didn't do either was there's no lip around the front edge here
and there's no lip around the back edge so if you are looking for something that offers
water protection and catches mud water whatever might be spilled in your trunk area you might want
to look at a weathertech option or tuxmap or any other name brand that still hasn't come out yet
so in that regard best evmod is doing a great job they're putting out products before even some of
the big name players and i gotta give them some credit for that so one of my favorite things about
this cargo mat is because this material is kind of grippy and rubbery if you put boxes back here
or any kind of loosing like a six pack or whatever it's not going to slide around all over the place
which is what i experienced with the oem carpeted floor mat this thing would just allow when i would
go grocery shopping if i had boxes or anything back here i would take a corner and i would just
hear it slamming into this side slamming into that side now maybe that says something about me taking
corners a little bit too quickly but i'm gonna drive how i'm gonna drive and this has pretty
much eliminated that issue because it is textured it is grippy and that's my favorite thing about
it so if you're interested in the cargo mat this is available for sixty dollars at the link below
so working in tandem with the cargo mat is the seat back protectors they're made of the same high
quality xpe material as the cargo mat and it's a nice matching look the seat back protectors have
flaps here so if you need to connect a child seat in the back seat these can just be lifted
up and the seat can be connected if not they can just be pushed down and they cover the opening
nicely so there's not a whole lot to say about them they will keep larger items from shifting
in the back here and all in all i think they're just a nice look with this patterned material
so with the oem seat back protectors there's been many people complaining about in the heat of the
summer the adhesive on these velcro strips that adhere it to the fabric on the back of the seat
these will give out and they'll find that these are just peeling off the backseat of their
their trunk area and i haven't experienced that with these ones from best evie mod and it's been
brutally hot here it's been a hundred degrees for the last five days here in connecticut and it's
been pretty miserable to be honest so if you're interested in these they'll be available in
the description below for sixty dollars and finally let's take a look at the cargo cover
so build quality wise there's not really a whole lot i can knock about it it's a nice piece of
extruded aluminum both sides are spring-loaded the material they use looks pretty nice got a nice
plastic grab handle both ends have a layer of felt to protect the plastic from getting scuffed up
when you insert it and take it back out so yeah i think it's a pretty nice product it's cheaper
than the oem version from hyundai so save yourself a few bucks go with the best ev mod version and
put that hard-earned cash towards something else so to install it all you do
just like with any other cargo cover you're going to tilt it in on one side push in
push the other side release both sides and then it's locked in place and you can pull it
forward and cover whatever you have that you want to hide underneath it
and to remove it i found that it helps to pull the shade forward just to smidge squeeze that side
then the whole thing comes right out operation is really smooth it's not getting hung up on anything
goes right into the channels on either side of the cargo area no problem and it just retracts
stays up under its own weight
if you really wanted to utilize this space here on the trunk
you could probably put some lighter items on here and they'd probably be fine
so the cargo cover is available at the link below for only 180 and that's a big savings off
hyundai's version which costs 350. so go ahead and save yourself 170 bucks by getting best ev
mods version seems to be a well-built product and i don't see any major issues with it
so what other accessories are you guys waiting for for the ionic 5
i know i'm still personally waiting for the tuxmat interior all-weather floor mats just
hopefully they come before this coming winter or else i'm going to find another option i need
something for this winter i'm not going to go with just the carpeted floor mats again
but as always thanks for watching if you enjoyed the video give it a thumbs up
subscribe if you haven't already done so and i'll see you guys in the next one take care everybody
you
