Dang, I really like Hyundai. My past two vehicles have been great. I really liked the Ioniq 5. If they’re going to pull this shit, that’s a big no from me on the next vehicle.
I was genuinely looking into getting a Hyundai Kona EV, however, when you look into it, Hyundai at the current moment in time has no way of properly maintaining or diagnosing the battery, if you take one in for service and they notice a dent in your skid plate, the entire battery needs to be replaced according to Hyundai and that’s the price of a new vehicle. I ended up going with a Mustang Mach-e.
The Mustang Mach E seems like the way to go for an affordable EV. Especially considering they’re used as fleet vehicles so you know there will be plenty of parts and knowledge on how to work on them out there. I just wish they could tow. I have a very small/light boat. It would be fine towing back and forth to the ramp.
The fleet vehicle part is a big point!
Ford claims the Mach-e has a towing capacity of 3,306 lbs and have recommended I take mine to Uhaul for a hitch install.
Last I looked it up, the Mach E was type rated in Europe, but not the United States. Apparently the one thing our standards are higher for is towing because we expect more interstate travel.
