12V is now outputting 14V. Up from 13.3V just after the issues. So I definitely suspect it is weak. Maybe when it was in the shop it got drained somehow. Or maybe it was from earlier today when I had the trailer hooked up and the lights on. Maybe it was drawing power when the car was off, which has happened #cars #ev #kona #hyundai

I suspect the 12V battery is low/dead. We are on our 2nd battery in this car, and that was quite a few miles ago. Currently waiting for an assist with a car with some jumpers.
At least this happened within walking distance of home. But I feel bad for the door dash orders that got cancelled! #cars #ev #kona #hyundai

uhoh.
Car troubles!
She seems to be having trouble detecting the key?? Have tried both keys now. It is kind of freaking out... so I have unplugged the 12V battery to let the computer completely reset?? Otherwise I might be SOL. Once I plug the battery back in I will see if the voltage is low and check it with the car scanner to see if any other messages are there. Might need a tow home!

This is a first!

Cor! What a day.
We went for a drive in the Hyundai Ioniq5 this morning.
Had a nice lunch in the sun at the cafe next to the Great Central Railway in Quorn
Then we went for a drive in the Ford Capri
This is for Sacha's next #Motability car as she gets #PIP (for now!)

TL:DR - The Ford gets it by a short head.

There was a bit too much tech on the #Hyundai - made worse by them letting us loose with the version with no mirrors - only cameras. I couldn't focus on the rear view screen with my glasses, and there were odd reflections. The spec' we are interested in doesn't have these, but we'd loose the very nifty parking cameras & the Heads Up Display.
The '#Ford Capri (badly named - it's really a Mondeo) was much easier to adapt to, but maybe slightly less comfortable. The ride was nicer and maybe quieter but the touch buttons on the centre consol will take some getting used to. Ford is an American company which is a big minus.

So - it's the #FordCapri for us - ordering next month.

Sitting here in a lineup on #bchwy4 for some road work.

Our 2019 Hyundai Kona Electric just passed 200,000km this week! I got a snap of the odometer at palindrome 199991 which was satisfying. But a sudden snow storm/hail storm prevented me from capturing 200k and 200002 officially, but that's ok.

I just made its *first* appointment to have its brake pads replaced. Amazing longevity on these EVs for brakes. I really should have done it about 10k ago but still.

Great car. Age is starting to catch up a bit.

It needs the EV battery coolant flushed/replaced this year, and some small stuff is wearing:

The passenger side seat heater is on the fritz, and one of the door lock mechanisms is extra loud.

But all things considered, for the amount of kilometres in the past 5 years (really more like 3 due to pandemic), and the addition of the utility trailer, it's doing great! #EV #Kona #Hyundai #Electric #carlife

A picture of the front of the windshield looking at the dash of the car it is a digital display with various numbers for distance traveled, and the odometer which is at zero. The battery level is on the right and is just under half full out the windshield is ablack truck on the highway, which is surrounded by trees and mountain and Distance.
A picture from a few days ago shows the same dashboard with the odometer at 199991
