Hello all,

I am currently debating getting a pre-own 2019 I Pace with 9k miles for ~50k or waiting to get the 2022 model. A few questions I had were:

1) Can the older models charge to 80% using 100kwH DC chargers in ~45min? Or can they only use the 50 KWh fast chargers for ~90min
2) Is it possible to upgrade the home level 2 charging to 12 KWh (from the current 7)?
3) How buggy is the infotainment system? I likely will just use apple car play which I heard was fine

Thanks

 

1: 2019 will supposedly handle up to 100KW now (with the software update). 2022 is supposed to get charging upgraded both AC and DC we'll see.
2: No the 7KW charger is built-in to the car, I'm not aware of an upgrade.
3: It's pretty slow but livable. It doesn't bother me anymore but it does take a while to boot when first starting and if you are in a rush it may not fully boot up. Car Play and Android Auto are wired only.
Were it me, I'd get the 2022 but the 2019 will be a ton cheaper.

 

1. Rob is correct, 2019 supports 100kwh
2. I would trust Rob
3. The system is quite buggy and slow. I've had days where the screens stay black and need a car restart to turn on. It takes a long time to start up, and is slow to respond to input. Once you have Carplay (I use Android Auto) running though, its pretty smooth.

I would definitely go for the 2019. I just got my 2019 in November and, other than the slow infotainment, I'm so happy with it. There is so much new tech coming out soon, don't throw away your money. Get into the 2019 and see what comes out in the next few years.
