I just bought an Ioniq 5 yesterday and have been reading up on battery support best practices. One thing what worries me is that they recommend parking in the shade, but when I am home it will be parked in the driveway (garage is full of storage stuff) and will get a lot of sun. So, I'm thinking a reflective car cover is needed. But I want one that does not block the vents the car uses for sucking in cooling air and then pushing it back out. Any ideas or recommendations?

thanks,
Lee

oh great!

this is a general question regarding car cover.

if the car is not so clean, and you put on the car cover, it would risk scratching the paint. is this correct? it sort of defeats the purpose of having the car cover in the first place. i, myself, don't do car wash often so this could be a problem using car covers.

Nearly six months later and I see a few Ioniq 5 -specific covers (at Amazon and elsewhere), at prices between $125 and $160 – IOW not cheap – but none with accommodations for the cooling vents.

I suppose it's feasible for a good seamstress to make and hem the corresponding holes, but it seems inevitable that the manufacturers will figure this out ... e v e n t u a l l y.
