Update: My level 2 adapter AND car are fine.
Someone just set a schedule at the charger level as opposed to the car level by accident which I was unaware of because I use the charger like a "dumb" charger.

Well my Level 3 Lectron NACS to CCS1 adapter works and the car is charging so I'm guessing my Level 2 adapter is the problem at home.

Stop making gas versions of EV sportscars, cowards.

I think my Level 2 Lectron adapter just bit the dust. (Tesla charger at home, not my choice).
Car doesn't recognize a charger is plugged in at all, but the charger indicates it is ready.
Level 1 charger starts charging the car immediately without issue.

Kia Canada website now has pages for the EV4, K4 Hatch and the PV5.
Didn't think we would be getting PV5s here.

I've really been enjoying the Polestar 5 in Gran Turismo 7 lately.

Oh yes, the recent bout of snowstorms has reminded me of what an absolute pleasure it is to drive an E-GMP dual motor in these conditions.
I actually find it enjoyable. Get a lot of info about the road surface through the steering wheel without the sensation being overwhelming.

Why is it always the brands making next to no EVs that keep citing "slowing EV demand" as a reason they are changing their plans.
Maybe try making a compelling EV product. It's worked for other brands.
Skill issue.

Just ask this IONIQ 5 N.

The Kia Meta Turismo concept is another case of HMG putting out a design I absolutely do not like on first look, but greatly warm up to after some time.
(This happened to me for the NQ5 Sportage on release and the IONIQ 6, AKA my two most recent vehicles).
Interesting how that works eh?

Only issue for some folks will be the 150 kW charge limit.
Most chargers here only do about that much so you're not missing much and if you have a charger at home you'll likely rarely need to use them.
This will be one to watch on the used market for me in the next few years.

I've spent way too much time this weekend doing painting in GT7. Like this simple Polestar 5 livery!
Think I might want to change the white logos to black though.

Hot take, that new Toyota Coupe just looks like they copied the SLS AMG but changed a few things.
After that stunt their CEO pulled I hope they get decimated in GT3 class racing anyway.

I don't trust a company struggling on EVs to be able to pull off an EV sports coupe...

Here it is, the Polestar 5 at Circuit de Gilles Villeneuve.
I've actually driven my IONIQ 6 on this track (it's a regular street/bike path most of the year).

Wish the .svg decal uploader worked properly so I could upload my EVCO decals to make a livery for it.

I don't really go on Reddit anymore but I saw a post about and "ICCU Failure" with photos...
One photo was very obviously AI generated with the rear bumper not looking like the actual IONIQ 6 one at all. The other I suspect was AI as well or something else was up because no license plate was there.

Recent developments for me.
1. I decided that I will stand for election for the Board of Directors of EVCO.
2. While walking around the grocery store I just had a cool idea for a presentation for one if our monthly meetings sometime. Though I might need to talk to some folks to see if it's good!

My archery club is going to be hosting a national level tournament next year (and the year after) and I might be in the early stages of seeing if we can use V2L capable EVs to manage any power needs the competition might have.
Could generate some good, local press for EVs if it works out!
