Mystery disguised EV w/ Michigan plates - anyone know what make/model this vehicle is ?

[4sallypat]

While charging (for free) at my local EA charger, I noticed a wrapped up / disguised EV that rolled in and tried to charge on the EA charger.

I asked the driver about the vehicle and he said he can not divulge the make or model. Just that it was a 2024 model year test vehicle.

Everything inside the vehicle was devoid of any manufacturer or model.
He had a computer running with lots of data logged.

The driver was trying to get a couple minutes of charge by unplugging the rude MME idling half an hour after reaching 100%.

He could not get the charger to start charging - kept saying connection starting. So he left and said he will try a different charger...

Anyone know what make/model/year this EV ?

Hard to say but my guess is it is a Hyundai/Kia product.

They love to use front charging ports.

It looks like the Hyundai Kona.

May be the Blazer. Just cause he was using the front port in testing doesn’t mean that’s where it’s going to be, honestly thought front grill ports were dead?

It is not a Blazer, those are out testing without any camo and have a side charging port. It is definitely the new Kona.

I think you are correct - the wheels are the Hyundai Kona!
Matches the article's photos too.

If it’s the Hyundai, why all the camo? That car is out.

Because the camo makes it look better?

Based on the roof rails, I'm leaning towards a Mazda CX-50 EV.

The new Ford E-Flex? AKA Re-Flex?

It has some of the lines of a Kia EV9.
