GV60 Canadian Pricing Estimations

[NLJ]

A

Agreed , folks keep saying the Gv60 is more luxurious but honestly i dont see a real advantage to a suede headliner or real leather wrapped dash , ive been in the Ev6 and the interior is great and everything you touch on a regular basis is perfect , a GT Ev6 thats several grand cheaper than the Gv60 performance would be very attractive , besides the Ev6 being as long as a boat of course lol

Luxury doesn't scale like that. It is also how you feel driving it, the actual aesthetics, the touch points, the cohesive mix of materials and the harmony of the design.
You can have a lot of premium materials with no design cohesion!

Also keep in mind it is inclusive pricing (5 years scheduled maintenance, and vehicle concierge etc) , only about $1500 service cost on ev but still.

Is there much in the way of servicing an EV?
On my G70 it made sense cause all fluids, spark plugs, brake service, filters, rotations, and etc are covered.

Like I said, only about $1500 over 5 years. Probably brake service etc.

Sounds about right including the valet drivers.

I posted the US owners’ manual earlier. The service schedule is there— mostly just inspections. IIRC, only fluids to change are brake and gear

The author of this article is suggesting he has some inside information "moles" Motor Mouth: Trudeau’s zero-emission car goals are EV fantasy

A couple of months ago, while still in the 2022 model year, Audi Canada changed the Q4 lineup from 3 different models, Komfort, Progressiv, and Technik to the Q4 50 Quattro with the Komfort package, with two more packages as options… Progressiv and Technik. Existing orders placed were even updated in Audi’s system to reflect the new changes.

this was clearly done in anticipation of the changes to the credit.

I don’t think this has much to do with why the Q4 hasn’t been released from port in Halifax though. I don’t think Audi would be concerned that the first hundred purchasers didn’t qualify for the rebate!

The fact that the article author is pretty biased against Trudeau, luxury vehicles and EVs aside… he kind of misses the mark. These incentives don’t get millionaires to buy electric luxury vehicles, they get the middle class to buy up and adopt new technologies faster.

its a chicken or egg analogy… investments won’t be made in charging infrastructure until there are significant numbers of EVs on the road. Just look at BC or Quebec… clearly double-dipping on incentives does work!

Additionally, I think the arguments about smaller more affordable EVs are a little out of touch too. Yes, the vast number of EVs coming to market this year are larger, have bigger batteries, and cost more, at prices out of reach for many, but until manufacturers get caught up and have the infrastructure and supply chains in place to support the numbers of cars the market demands, the higher priced vehicles will continue to be what they sell so that they can try and recover some of the billions they’ve spent on development and retooling factories.

And the fact that a Level 2 home charger may also be included, could add to this value proposition.

I have an 2018 Ioniq 28 BEV and have required zero maintenance so far. The brakes get used so little with the regen, I need to use them every so often just to keep the rust off.

So GV60 should be similar, the beauty of electric cars.

I wouldn’t hold my breath on that one. Even if there is a EVSE included, a lot of other people (various different vehicles) have bought a vehicle and said, “Where’s my charger ?” only to be told, “It will be sent to you when they are available.”

Very shortly, we'll all be offered free chargers when we buy EVs. The federal gov't has some strong incentives in place for the development of EV charging infrastructure - both home and on the road.
I shared some of my charging stats to someone looking into it professionally, and he said that last year I would have generated about $350 in credits from charging my PHEV at home charging - and that is in Alberta (where the credit per kWh are smaller because of the CI of the electrical grid), and not having commuted to the office. He said that in most cases the cost of a charger could be recovered within a year.

Well, a spare EVSE is always going to be a good idea. My neighbour has one that needs service but, being older, he needs to send it out for service. While not an absolute necessity, it’s libel to be a handy thing to have.

I hadn’t thought of that. An unexpected charger failure would not be fun. Though, I think just about any EV would come with a portable cable that would enable some limited-rate charging in a bind.

It's mostly fairly mundane yearly inspections, yearly cabin filter, reduction gear oil change in 3 years or so, brake inspection/service 2-3 years. The real expensive item if applicable is low conductive battery coolant change at 3 years or 60,000 km. Interestingly Ioniq5 requires it but EV6 uses much cheaper conventional coolant.

$1500 for 5 years maintenance is not cheap actually. I have a Q5 and the 4 years/80,000km scheduled maintenance package only cost $895 + tax. EV requires much less maintenance than non-ev I think

It's the time saving too. You never have to set foot in the dealership. They pick it up wherever you are and leave you a loaner. That's alone is worth it. I hate having to go to a dealership even those that will give you a loaner cause you still have to take it back to swap unlike Genesis.

I was estimating the value of the service included in the price, not stating the cost.

My dealer told me that Genesis pricing is ‘all inclusive’ meaning that the price includes PDI and shipping.
Is that a savings of about $2000 there?

Yes that’s correct, I believe every Genesis sold in Canada the listed price on the website once available is inclusive of PDI/documentation/freight fees. I do believe air conditioning charges/OMVIC/tire tax/etc are added separately when taxes are calculated on the purchase price if I recall.

My Dealer just informed me that I should have a VIN by the end of this week. Said they received email stating production is starting. Hopefully I’ll have a vin and delivery date soon. They also figure my estimate of low 70’s would be low on the Performance Model. And….. one more ‘punch in the gut’ but of information is that the GV60 will NOT qualify for federal or provincial EV rebate money. I was anticipating a $7,500 rebate that’s not out the window. How ridiculous is that??? Government considers it a luxury vehicle as pricing is over $60,000.
