Hyundai Ioniq 5

Before grant its 1099 for untethered and 1199 tethered (5m cable).

To be honest I haven't done a huge amount of research on whether there's better options out there and at a cheaper price but I quite liked that the charger itself is quite small.

People in this thread or the EV charger thread would know if there's better out there.

Just looking at the brochure and I may have missed it but are memory seats only available on the premium plus?

Kn do the install and it's the red yellow in my experience although you could buy the one you want and ask the fitter if he will use ,most of the lads are sound.

Has anyone had the free charger from Hyundai fitted ? Any idea which model it is? I'm already with energia so not sure if ill be eligible for it.

Can we call them directly? I provided the latest utility bill to dealer and said he would contact and come back? I guess no harm in calling the customer care directly!

Magic Bjorn, looks like he has solved the rapidgate enigma in the Ioniq5/EV6!

Dealer called yesterday to confirm Eircode as he was doing the grant paperwork and prepping documents for registration. Car due in next week and on track for second week of Jan. Ordered in August

Missus ordered the Executive in early Sept. Due into country Mid to late Dec for Jan collection

Having awful hassle with energia trying to avail of the free charger offer. Next to impossible to get speaking with someone on the phone, either directly calling the EV team number or sales, then it's we've passed your number to the EV team who will call you back yet never do.

Am I right in saying you've to wait 2 weeks (cooling off period) after switching before they'll install?

Absolute nightmare trying to get to speak to anyone in any company on the phone nowadays.

Pushed the button and ordered an Exec 58kWh (i.e. the cheapest!) Ioniq 5. Dealer has Est. deliver date of 31/1/22, fingers crossed it meets that. We weren't fussed on colour too much which helped get a pretty good delivery date.

I hope the fact that the door handles not auto presenting isn’t the same issue as in the UK. Basically it was on all the demo cars and when people ordered they arrived without despite being on spec list

Most dealers have taken delivery of Exec Plus 53kWh stock over the past day or so, from what I gather

Excellent video.

Have to say other than the seats there was nothing on the Hyundai website to say that the interiors would be different. So I'm defo not delighted with the plastic panels in the rear and the plastic under panel on front seats.

The Handles thing is weird, and will be annoying. Tbh it would be more annoying than just regular old normal door handles, so again that will probably annoy the **** outta me.

The rear lights being darker and not having the pixelated feel across the back is also not mentioned, but I don't think either or looks any better or worse.

The half leather perforated front seats look shite in all honesty. Might be one of those things that looks better in the flesh but I reckon those little dimples will just make the seats a nightmare to vacuum.

Other than that everything pretty much looks as expected.

Dont think it will make me switch, but annoying that Hyundai Ireland really didn't even seem to fully know what cars were going to land.

Nope it was basically a “oh well… the doors still open don’t they?”

I’ve a premium due and it’ll be the first thing I’m checking as in the UK basically no spec is arriving with the auto handles

I’m just so confused by how they can’t figure out the details of the options that get delivered. Seems very unprofessional.

After seeing this video, happy I ordered the premium. Much prefer the look.

Good news though - dealer confirmed he has a VIN number and that means it’s a ship. Arrival still planned mid December.
