It’s also the end of the month so salespeople are motivated to hit monthly targets. That usually applies to new cars, but there might be some incentive for used as well, so they may be willing to deal a bit the next 2-3 days, but go back to stalling come the 1st.
Not sure about CAN availability, but there is the BMW CE-04 available in the US.
Where is the charger? Were you also paying for parking at the same time? $3 per kW is crazy, like paying $35-$40 a gallon for gas.
Also realize they are comparing EPA ranges, which tests vehicles in their default modes. Real world testing has shown for the Ioniq 5 and EV6 (and I would assume the GV60) that the AWD models, in Eco mode, with I-pedal disable will get within 10mi of the RWD range on the highway. I-pedal apparently keeps the front motor engaged, and even disabled the front motor is engaged up to about 15 mph or so, or if there is front wheel slippage. Around town, in slippery weather, if you have a heavy foot, etc, etc, I’m sure the RWD comes out on top. With our I5 I don’t notice much difference on the highway when in Eco or Normal on long trips. So I keep it in normal for slightly better throttle response for passing. But honestly, there isn’t that much difference.
No worries, just might confuse some folks when you ask for “Wallbox” recommendations :-)
FYI “Wallbox” with a capital “W” is a brand of EVSE/charger. Collectively they are referred to EVSE, level 2 or sometimes AC charger. I actually purchased a refurbished Wallbox Pulsar Plus and its been great for going on two years now. Saved a nice bit off the prices too. So yes you can purchased used. For me it was a little bit of piece of mind to get a refurb from the manufacturer.
This *is* an interesting article that looks at the actual data and counters a bit what the heads of Ford and GM are claiming (and what the EV FUD articles are repeating.)
If Nissan would have put battery cooling in the 2nd gen, I would have one by now. I think it looks nice, good form factor in a hatchback/small wagon sort of way, but in Arizona, battery cooling is a must.
