The experience of charging a 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 at a Tesla Supercharger highlights logistical issues faced by Hyundai despite adopting Tesla's NACS. The Ioniq 5's charging port placement caused difficulties in accessing the charging cable, raising concerns about the practicality of this integration. Though the transition to Tesla's charging network makes sense for automakers, as most have followed suit since mid-2023, the real-world execution can still present challenges. As EV infrastructure evolves, manufacturers must address these usability gaps to enhance user experience.
I had plenty of battery, but others might not be so lucky.
The experience exposed a gap - in the literal sense, illustrating how a good idea doesn't always translate in the real world.
