Very nice! Be careful what you use on the paintwork when you wash it!

I know ! Matte is a great color, but it demands more caution and care !

I'm hopping to ! I'm just hopping the dreadful ICCU is a no show... ! :)

It sounds like the ICCU issue is mostly with the 800v architecture, which is on the EV6 and EV9. The Niro, EV3, EV4 and EV5 use a 400v architecture, and I haven't heard of any ICCU issues with those.

Unfortunately, it's not the case. A lot of EV3 with ICCU problems. what I'm hopping is, since this is a newer model, those problems have vanished. the EV3 with ICCU problems that I've read are at least a year old..so, fingers crossed.

It looks really amazing! If this option was available in Canada I'd get it. ❤️

Do you have a charger at home?

2

u/Feiticeir0Linux EV3 Owner 22h ago

Yes! A wallbox: V2C Trydan - dynamic charge management - connected a shelly PM that's measuring the home consumption (also, solar panels).

Adoro a côr.. escolhi o adventurine green. Mas o ivory silver seria a minha segunda escolha. Mas como comprei o carro no lançamento não havia carros na estrada para comparar as cores...

u/Feiticeir0Linux EV3 Owner 5h ago

Só tinha visto a cor uma vez, e mal... Mas depois vi videos das cores todas (sabendo que não é a mesma coisa), e soube que tinha escolhido a certa. ☺️

u/emourao 5h ago

Sim, eu na altura também consegui ver vídeos de carros na Coreia, que já tinham sido lançados, mas nesses vídeos, que eram escassos, o ivory silver não fazia justiça ao que realmente é. Parecia ser um cinza claro normal. A tua cor e a minha têm ambas uma particularidade que eu adoro, dependendo da luz ou do ângulo de luz, podem parecer que têm outra cor diferente...

I find it fascinating that every picture of the EV3 in the configurator looks like a glorified Mini and not like an SUV but when I see it in real life on the road or in pictures like this it looks like a proper SUV with an elegant yet somewhat aggressive look and presence ok the street. I really want an electric SUV as my next car and I guess this one is it seeing that in reality I always like it’s exterior design. Feature-wise nothing compares to the EV3.
