Not with the Ioniq it isn't, as there's no app support in the EU.


For other cars, potentially something like that could be possible.

It was an Ioniq video I was watching

Just under 400km, will be charging twice as it's winter.
Summer could probably have done it in one.

31k km and 7 months later and I still love long trips in this car, so comfortable and no range anxiety!

Really you shouldn't have, I got you nothing :P:P:P:P

I'm so heading out to my car now to play with this!

30 minutes from now I'll be back with a "does anyone know how to unbrick an ioniq??!"

Haha, how did it go?

Had a go of it myself. Changed the intersection thing and ticked TomTom EV, whatever that means

unkel

It's an improvement on the SatNav alright. Recommended.

How did that trip go?????

BigAl81

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone got after market leather fitted to their Ioniq?

I see a place in Blanchardstown that does it. Would it take longer for the heated seats to heat up?

Any other advantages / disadvantages anyone is aware of?

Thanks.

Great, not a bother at all. Charged twice in the end, they were shorter stops as I arrived with >30% both times (Ioniq charging curve increases speed up to 77-78% SOC)


Present was an exotic cat and she seemed to like the heated seat on the way home too! :pac::pac:

This was an option offered by some dealers. Seemingly the leather from the PHEV ioniq fits perfectly with no compromise (except the ventilated seat function which was not offered on the Irish BEV spec anyway)

I wouldn't be bothered personally , but I suppose it's like the wrapped front "grille" .. personal taste.

I got a quote of 350 euro for "leather" seats front and back with two year warranty on the work!

Going to call into the work shop this week and have a look. Picking the car up on Thursday

Does this leather retrofit have to be black????

Not sure if we are supposed to link to businesses, but you can see lots of colours and different textures here...

I've no connection with them, so shop around etc but seems cool and I'd be very excited to get "leather" in the car as it's a step back for me not to have it.

Does €21k seem cheap for a 2017 Premium SE with only 7500km on it?

3 owners seems odd for a car with such little mileage mind.

If it shows 3 private owners I'd probably steer clear to be honest.
For no other reason than it may devalue the car when you go to sell on.


Other than that it's pretty good deal

unkel

That's very cheap! The 3 owners is strange, but remember you have another 4 years or so of manufacturer's warranty on it, so I wouldn't worry to much about that.

punisher5112

Could well have been demo, then sold and latest trade in for something new maybe.

Wouldn't bother me at all.

Zenith74

Not looking to buy right now, am just keeping an eye on what their prices are looking like, so if somebody else is interested by all means have at it!

Yeah that's probably it for the demo and the second owner. Several Ioniq owners have upgraded to Kona for the range. But why would this third owner be selling privately? I'd ask anyway. Probably a plausible answer, like they didn't get the 280km advertised NEDC range in wet and windy winter weather LOL

ELM327

For those that state you can't get Ioniqs, the first 191 reg I saw was today in the work car park. A 191 MH Ioniq BEV in what looks like metallic greyish brown.

Hi folks, my Hyundai Ioniq 191 is ready apart from one small tiny detail, it has no CABLE, the garage which is 60km from where I live cannot give me an ETA on the cable!
I was going to collect it on Saturday anyway and use the granny cable in the car and I was wondering would that be ok short term also my journey is 55km each way to work, I might be able to plug it in at work.
I could use the current Fiesta for the longer journey's but that is complicated by the fact that my wife's car is being scrapped.
Not a great start to my EV career. Any advice as always would be appreciated.

I was in a similar situation while I waited for the charger grant to come through. I had the exact same distance to cover daily so I’d be home with about 40% battery after work. I’d plug straight in on the granny cable after work and it would be 100% by morning.

Any more charging needed and I’d just go to the fast charger - dunno if you’d have one nearby, but even a slow charger would get you a good charge in 2-3 hours if you needed it. You couldn’t live with those restrictions long term, but it was fine for a couple of months.

55km each way is 110 total, which could use anything from ~50% to 65+% of the battery depending on the driving pattern (motorway, n road, speed etc).


Granny cable takes 16 hours from flat to full, so 8-10 hours overnight would easily cover that daily drive. If you could plug in at work even better, but not necessarily required.

patmac

Apologies I meant to say it has no cable only the granny cable, I have no home charger yet and will not have for 2 weeks. Will it be ok to use a granny cable for 2 weeks, without any long term damage?

I think most people rely on the granny charger for a time after they get their first EV. There is a process to go through to get the grant and you can do none of the work until the grant is approved (in theory:p).

Granny charging is doable, even long term, as long as you can plan in advance, as it takes much more time. It's even better for the battery as they like slow charging best.

Yes. Note fast chargers do not need you to provide a cable, they all have cables attached. You may have trouble with running granny cable from inside to outside and locking door or window. An extension lead through the letter box worked for my first few weeks. If you need extension get one with a waterproof socket and connect car end last and disconnect car end first when full. You must fully unroll extension lead or it WILL catch fire. Note on the ioniq the best way to release car end is to unlock the car a second before you try to unplug. This stops the charging and unlocks the cable. Just charge from when you get home all night. The car will display the hours until full a few seconds after charging starts.

Quite the opposite, it's actually theoretically better for the battery to charge it slowly (doesn't make any difference in real life)

As long as you do is safely as per zg3409's post

Thanks to everyone here for the info and advice, wouldn't have picked up an EV today without it!

Lovely to drive, delighted with it, will report back once I get a few more KMs under my belt.

Get the grill wrapped in glossy black. Now is your chance to do it when it is still in perfect condition! And maybe the roof too?

Well wear, now go drive the bejaysus out of it

Dont be at yourself

New Years Eve, I ran out of juice, 1km from home (thanks to an unscheduled trip to out-of-hours doc).

I've been in turtle mode before, but before long power dramatically reduced -- topping out at 20km/h, before stopping altogether. Once emptied, you can't even turn the 'engine' on, or put the car in drive.

I know you're not supposed to, but stuck it in neutral and got towed home the 1km by my brother in his Navarra. Fully charged and motoring away ever since.

unkel

Glad you got sorted

Are you not supposed to? I can't see it do any harm to the car.

I think the manual recommends lifting the front wheels if being towed, I guess to prevent the battery over-charging from regen, though if it's in neutral I suppose it makes no odds.

unkel

Gently towing at low speeds with all fours on the road for 1km in N won't make any difference I don't think. Just don't tell Hyundai that just in case

You are aware that we are all covered by the AA for recovery (to our home or to a garage) for free? And most people with comp insurance have free recovery included as well. AA is a superior service though, within Dublin they'd usually be with you within the hour.

Exactly my calculation!

Yep, covered for recovery on the insurance but so close to home, after a long day, didn't fancy calling it in.

Good advice... if you are going to wrap get it done immediately. Otherwise any imperfections in in the grill (eg stone chips etc) will also appear in the wrap.THis is what happened with mine. A tiny little bump/chip, which drove the wrapper totally mad, although to be honest although he showed me exactly where it was I've been unable to find it since.

Mine still ain't registered. Waiting for seai folks to open....
But I did get it wrapped! So I concur on the above!

Car looks great.

Hope the SEAI gets sorted quickly

Dealer needs a kick up his hole. Grant should have been requested by the dealer before the car was even on the boat in South Korea. (just needs VIN). Unless the SEAI were extremely slow responding.

To be fair I only got my loan approved on the 22nd December so couldn't actually confirm till then. They've held the car for me for a few weeks and have been great to deal with. Xmas hols and busy times, no hassles really.

When does dealer know a car is been allocated to them.

Also does a specific car need a customer name to apply.

My impression of recent Ioniq arrivals is that the cars were on a ship long before the new owners knew they would be even able to buy these cars.

Fairly sure the Ioniq order book status for much of 2018 in Ireland was "closed - don't have a clue when cars will arrive".

Or have I got that totally wrong

cloughy

agree car loks great, just wondering the black on the bumper and the roof, was that an extra cost?
