morning everybody it's the ionic guy here so i've been making videos on this car for
five months now and i've still yet to do a highway range test
so i'm going to visit my friend up in boston for this weekend it's 87 miles out there should be
about 87 miles back so if you're interested in a 74 mile per hour range test stay tuned
so i just finished charging the car to 100 i've got 283 miles of projected range
it's a gorgeous perfect day for doing a range test it's 71 degrees sunny there's no wind no rain
i'm gonna have the climate control set on auto level one it's 72 degrees that's comfortable for
me so once i get on the highway i'm going to set the cruise control to 74. that's the speed i like
to cruise at on the highway the speed limit on the highway is 65. i like to do 74. that's pretty
much moving with traffic these days i'm going to engage eco mode and we'll see what we get for uh
efficiency and we can extrapolate that to to the overall range that the car would get 100 to zero
i'm going to pre-condition the car so that it doesn't have to bring the cabin temperature down
once i'm unplugged from my home and we'll hit the road i'll do some check-ins along the way and yeah
that'll be it hey everyone so i just hit 75 i've done 77.2 miles at 3.7 miles per kilowatt hour
which has taken me one hour and six minutes so my range right now is estimating 212 miles remaining
the temperature is increased to 81 degrees from about 75 back home
my average speed is definitely gonna start going down now that i'm getting closer to the center
of boston i'm going to try and maintain about 65 miles per hour until i get off the highway
and then it's going to be probably 20 25 miles per hour but yeah going really well so far should
be at my destination in about 17 minutes so we'll pick up this range test tomorrow when
i head back to connecticut but so far so good hey everybody day two of my uh little road trip here
currently got 72 percent state of charge showing 186 miles projected range left
it's 83 degrees out today it's a little warmer than it was on the drive up yesterday
um same thing i'm going to get out of boston hop on the mass pike
set the cruise control between 70 and 74 depending on what traffic's like i think there's an accident
near worcester so that might slow me down and kind of mess this up a little bit but
it's the best that i can do right now so we're just gonna have to roll with it
but i'll check in with you guys when we hit 50 state of charge see it a little bit
hey everybody so we're at 50 state of charge right now we've done 54.5 miles averaging 3.4
miles per kilowatt hour over an hour and five minutes of driving traffic getting out of the
city was kind of bad today um it's 85 degrees i've been in eco mode climate on auto one
said it's 72 degrees it's been a nice drive it's a nice day out nice and sunny not really any wind
so that's today's drive but in total so far we've done 141.6 miles averaging 3.6 miles per kilowatt
hour 2 hours and 32 minutes of driving and yeah no complaints so far it's been a nice cushy ride
so i don't think we're going to make it down to 25 state of charge by the time i get home so
this range test is gonna be what it is um i don't have time tonight to go driving around for another
two hours so we're gonna end it at whatever we end at which is probably gonna be 30 35 percent
but that should be uh in about a half an hour or so so we'll get back to you guys in a little
bit see you then hey everyone so made it home in one piece so that's good um this drive today was
83.6 miles averaging 3.5 miles per kilowatt hour and a total drive time of 1 hour and 33 minutes
upon arrival outside temperatures 82 degrees fahrenheit and we've got 40 percent left on
the battery and projected remaining range of 106 miles so all in all pretty successful i
mean this is a far cry from my winter trip to the same destination and coming back i have over 100
miles more range in summer temperatures so that's pretty incredible i'm pretty psyched about that
looking at the total trip 170.1 miles 3.6 miles per kilowatt hour and a total drive time of
basically three hours so using that average consumption that gives me a projected
highway range in eco mode of 279 miles that's really good i was not expecting to see that
just this is such a great highway trip car i mean
this just goes to show that the the consumption rate is actually fairly decent on the highway
i mean you're not going to break 300. so my average speed is about 57 miles per hour which
isn't super fast if my average speed were closer to 70 something miles per hour like i was trying
to do in this test probably would have been worse probably would have been a little bit lower so
all in all pretty happy with this i'm glad that i can get to boston home and potentially back to
boston on one single charge so anyway as always thanks for watching if you enjoyed this video hit

take it easy so if you're anything like me you're probably disappointed after you purchase
your hyundai ioniq 5 and realize that there was no overhead storage for your sunglasses
so i solved that problem with the hyundai ioniq 5 magnetic eye wear holder it simply
clips onto the magnetic area next to the driver display and your sunglasses go right onto it
these are 3d printed and petg and will not soften in the heat of your car they utilize a one and a
quarter inch rare earth magnet that keeps them securely on your dashboard and a strip of velcro
protects the frames of your glasses these will work well with thick plastic frame glasses such as
ray-ban wayfarers but not so much with wire frame glasses like aviators these are available for 20
