She went for a chai and a breakfast burrito. 20 minutes later she calls me and I think the worst.
She sat in the back seat of her Ioniq 5 to feed our skittish puppy a pup cup. With the child safety locks on. And she couldn't get out.
We had a laugh, and I got a kiss from the damsel in distress! ♥️💋
Normally yes, but were old and she hurt her back the other day.
Plus now we have a great video of the rescue which we wouldn't have otherwise.
Video! Already shared it with the whole family!
🥳🥳🥳
I'll have to keep that in mind for my Ioniq... Tho I have cats, and I'm not aware of kitteh kups... Hmmm
Which yay, another Ioniq owner, there are tens of us!
There are Ioniq 5s all over the place here.
And there should be kitten kups. They need silly treats too!
I have seen maybe 4-5 others in the Ioniq in my area, and that's a generous number. We don't have the best public EV infrastructure and I don't have a home charger just yet (need an outlet installed and awaiting estimates).
I might need to share the cup idea with a friend whose been making tailored dog and cat food...
I highly, highly recommend that you get a hardwired charger instead of just a 240V outlet. The proper outlet to install is like $100 (and your electrician might try to cheap out with improper parts to beat other estimates, or he might not know better, or he might charge for that but give you a shitty, cheap outlet which could be a fire hazard), and it's gonna require running GFCI for it which will add even more cost, and realistically you're either never unplugging your charger or you're unplugging it so much that you're gonna do a lot of wear and tear damage. I don't think you're realistically gonna be bringing a 240V charger with you anywhere just to plug into another 240V outlet. The only legitimate reason to want the outlet is if you have your clothes dryer nearby and you're swapping which thing is plugged into that outlet, but even then there are smart swapping outlets that can accept both plugs and just redirect current whichever way you want at the time.
I also recommend you run at least a 60A line for this to allow 48A (80% continuous load) charging. Any lower and you're risking having to upgrade at some point in like 10 years just because less is enough now, but it's an investment for your home as much as it is useful for your current situation. Maybe 500+ mile battery tech is right around the corner, and you decide to just charge once a week or something. Who knows. But cutting into the walls and running cable costs the same no matter what the amperage is, unless they need to charge slightly more for thicker gauge or something, but that's negligible.
I opted for a universal charger just so it works with either form factor. But that's up to you. There is now a decided standard, so go with that if you want. I just had my equipment installed before knowing what car I was getting, and that was fortunate because I picked a Bolt EUV which is not the NACS plug type. If I had chosen NACS only, I'd have to fiddle with an adapter every day, and that's just another potential point of failure.
Good luck!

Consider the plan to allow for swapping the connection at the car every few years as tech drifts (away from tesla). You may need to swap the end every now and then, and that once in a blue moon it's a 10-sec thing instead of a self/contract plug change.
Wow, thank you for the solid advice! I was planning to do a portable installation as I'm not too concerned about charge speeds, unless there's more to it than that. Futureproofing with more robust hardware is a good idea nonetheless. Honestly trying to keep the process relatively unexpensive, but I've gotten nothing but. First two estimates (mind you for just for the outlet and run) have been $1500 and $2800, and I've heard most of these installs are sub-$1k, and it's not a long run ,~20ft, half through floor beams. I know copper is going up, but wth.
Anywho, sorry for derailing from cute cat stuff.
I’m not aware of kitteh kups
The rate at which our 16yo ragdoll begs for cream, you know she'd go bonkers over a kitteh kup.
They do the same to me even when it's just almond milk. Heck, they're all on restrictive diets atm due to too much chonk, so treats are off the table (and the floor).
Similar story. One time I was driving with my puppy in the back on a 45 minute car ride. He pooped in the back and it was horrid.
👃😩🤢🤮
A gallant knight to the rescue
Oh I don't know. Is there a competition? What are the rules? Do we need to pay an entrance fee?
💛💛💛🐤
Reminds me of the one and only time I locked My keys in my truck. My friend wanted to borrow my Chevy s-10 (the best truck hands down) so when I pull up to work I put my keys in the center console… and here’s where I think I made my mistake… I locked the doors so no one would steal it lol
Luckily I worked at a leather shop at the time and had plenty of tools.
Oops 😆

She could not climb into the front? That car is pretty roomy
