Is the DCT transmission on the Verna a deal breaker?

03 January 2025 07:24

How much gas you use depends on your driving style. If you’re mostly on highways, the DCT is great. I wouldn't be nervous about the wear and tear for city driving.

I have had Verna with DCT for a year, and it is great. Just don't creep in traffic and follow the manual and you'll be fine.

For me, the risk of the DCT is worth the performance. The car is much more fun to drive than a boring CVT.

I wish that Hyundai had at least a traditional automatic option. DCT is nice, but I’d have a better night’s sleep with a proven torque converter.

Is the Kona Electric's relatively slow DC fast charging a road trip killer?

02 January 2025 12:05

It is definitely slower than I would like, but it works. When I travel, I just plan my trips carefully and use the charging stops as breaks to stretch and get food. It’s not ideal, but it’s not a deal breaker either.

Is the Kona Electric's relatively slow DC fast charging a road trip killer?

02 January 2025 12:05

My biggest complaint about the Kona is slow charging. Daily driving is fine, but road trips are a pain. I’ve had to sit at chargers for over an hour just to get enough range to make it to the next stop. Here, newer EVs have a big advantage.

I honestly think we obsess with charging speeds too much. That's how efficient the Kona is that you don't need to charge as often as some other EV. Realistically, how many people are really doing those super long road trips?

It's a trade-off. The Kona is annoying with slower charging on trips but I think the price and range make up for it. I’d rather have a longer range and charge less often than a shorter range and charge more often.

That said, as someone who road trips a lot, it’s definitely a limitation. It's not as bad as some people make it sound. The Kona can still do 75 kW pretty consistently, better than some EVs that quickly throttle down. It takes good planning.

Is the BYD Dolphin’s slower DC charging speed impractical for road trips?

02 January 2025 06:25

For most people, it’s not a big deal. Do you really do it that often? 80 kW is plenty fast for daily use and weekend getaways.

Is the BYD Dolphin’s slower DC charging speed impractical for road trips?

02 January 2025 06:25

I believe that is a big disadvantage. If you are spending this much on an EV, you would like the flexibility to go farther without having to stop so much. It's a dealbreaker for me.

Is the BYD Dolphin’s slower DC charging speed impractical for road trips?

02 January 2025 06:25

It's all about perspective. I came from a first gen Leaf, 80 kW feels lightning fast! And it’s better for the battery long term to charge a little bit slower.

Is the BYD Dolphin’s slower DC charging speed impractical for road trips?

02 January 2025 06:25

Charging speed is fine, but there is simply not enough infrastructure to charge in many places. If you fix that, 80 kW becomes a much less of a problem.

Is the BYD Dolphin’s slower DC charging speed impractical for road trips?

02 January 2025 06:25

If I get more longevity in the battery, I’d rather have a slower charge speed. LFP batteries are supposed to last forever and I think the slow charging helps that.

For the price point, something had to give, and it's definitely a compromise. I’m willing to pay a bit more for a slower charging car I don’t use much, rather than a cheaper car with faster charging I rarely use.

I’ve done road trips in the Dolphin before and it’s not ideal, but it’s doable. All you have to do is pay a little more attention to how you plan your stops.
