Looking good!
No crashes when charging
Shows as Ioniq 5
The widget starts the app correctly.

One thing I found was in the  Push Notifications/ command area:
Portrait mode:

Note the really big boxes. This is because the date column is squished to a
couple of pixels and it is displaying it wrapped downwards.




Looks fine in landscape mode
