His Mach-E vs. Her GV60

[Randy E.]

I wonder about road trips and range? Is range really a big deal considering I’m the GV60 can go from 10% to 80% charge in 18 minutes. I believe Straight Pipes pulled it off in 16 via DC fast charging…

Hyundai/KIA are figuring it out. 235/250/300, does it really matter that much if you can charge in 15 minutes, 10 minutes?

It’ll get there, and they are close now.

Look, I have no clue what my Stringer GR gets per fill.When low I just fill it up, who cares about range because filling is a trivial amount of time.

do the same with EVs and range won’t matter so much if charging is reduced to”irrelevant” timelines.

how long will it take to charge a Mach-e 10% - 80%? At least 1-2 hours?…

Right there I’ve be road tripping in the GV60, and in quiet luxury ta boot.

Between 250-260 on eco mode. However we’ve been getting between 2.7-3 mi/kWh while driving. Not the best efficiency but it does what we need it to.

My EV6 started in that range, but now I can get 4-something on my drive to work, and regularly in the 3s. I think my lifetime average on the car is mid 3-something.

I don't know if this is a real phenomenon or not, but it seemed to get a bit better mileage after a few hundred miles. Also definitely in 70F-80F temps it does quite well too.

I was looking to add a GV60 or my wife as well but its a bit expensive here in Canada but its definitely a nice car. Congrats

Genesis makes some amazing vehicles. I love my Mach E though and would take it over the Genesis but I have much more of a sports car lean. Congrats.

I just want AC seats in my MME

Not going to lie it’s pretty nice.

I have them in a few of my cars but the MME is the one that I want them in that doesn't have it sadly.

Personally, I have serious concerns over the state of charging infrastructure over the near/mid-term. I see a LOT more EVs on the road than I did a year ago, and looking a plugshare, there's actually LESS DCFC available in my area / on my travel routes (the one I pass on the way home from work has been out of commission for the last 8 months) in the same period. What good are DCFC speeds if you have to sit and wait behind 8 cars using their 3 years of "free" EA charging? I think the speed over range argument will be true when 350+kw DCFCs are ubiquitous, but not any time soon.

No mark up but about $2400 of add ons at the Santa Monica Genesis. Granted my wife was on the priority one list for Genesis so we actually picked up the second one they sold. If you’re worried about mark up and can wait a little bit talk to Laguna Niguel Hyundai. They are taking reservations for a 2023 Ioniq 5 which will come by the end of the year. No mark up but about $2k in add ons. Andrew helped us out there as we had a reservation but cancelled it once the GV60 came in. We were surprised it came that fast as we were told expect to get it in Dec/Jan.

Can you share as to why you chose the GV60 over the IONIQ 5? I have the 2023 IONIQ 5 on order for the wife and would very much like to know!

Need really. We were prepared to wait till Oct/Nov for our Ioniq 5 RWD Likited, but my wife needed a car. Her CT200H was just way too small for our family since we had our son. I do believe the Ioniq 5 is a better value especially the limited. But overall timing was the biggest factor. However, we do prefer the look of the GV60 and it definitely feels more luxurious. I just knew whatever route we went we weren’t going to be disappointed.

Thank you! Here I am considering upgrading my limited AWD order to the 'namsan' edition and the GV60 comes along...

That's a slick looking ride. The performance edition has me thinking things. Not sure I could give up the room though.

Is the namsan version coming out in the states? I read it has digital side mirrors and I thought that was illegal in the US.

Not sure. I'll be checking in with the dealer this weekend and will let you know!

Did you have to pay mark-up? I need to replace my Polestar 2 with an SUV/crossover since we have a baby on the way, and I'm looking for something with a smoother ride than my wife's Mach E GT (which we love, but it's definitely bouncy). The Hyundai group EVs definitely have the smoother ride, but it's tough to find an Ioniq 5 or EV6 with no markup.

the palm springs hyundai dealer doesn't mark up - might be worth a flight down
