Hyundai’s new Tesla charging port comes up short
- The 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 comes with Tesla's North American Charging Standard port, exposing a gap in reach at Tesla Supercharging stations.
- Hyundai and other automakers shifted to the North American Charging Standard after agreements with Tesla post-May 2023.
- The Ioniq 5 features better access to CCS stations and a faster charging time compared to NACS stations.
- Hyundai offers charging incentives for Ioniq 5 buyers and older Hyundai EV owners for NACS adapter use.
- The Ioniq 5 has new tech upgrades like wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Hyundai Pay for automated parking payments.
- The XRT trim of the Ioniq 5 is designed for light off-road use with specialized features like Terrain modes.
- Despite limited off-road capabilities, the Ioniq 5 excels in zippy acceleration and comfortable on-road handling.
- Priced from $43,975, the Ioniq 5 is competitive but lacks features like Ford Mustang Mach-E's BlueCruise highway assist.
- The upcoming Ionna charging network collaboration aims to bolster EV charging infrastructure by 2030.
- Overall, the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 impresses with pavement performance but may avoid Tesla Superchargers due to port limitations.
