Hyundai Ioniq 28kWh - thread 2.0

I have a 2019 Ioniq which I bought 2nd hand in 2019.

Shortly after I bought it there was a smell (not sweet, more like a dead animal!) which invaded the cabin every now and again.

Took it back to the dealer and turned out it was a bad 12V battery which was duly replaced.

Great tip. I've actually been meaning to post a comment about an issue/annoyance with my heating which may be related to this. I tend to set the heating to auto, and adjust the temperature typically to about 22 degrees. What I've found is that the heat does a good job initially, and gets the car to what seems to be the correct temp, but then after a while it seems to switch to AC, making it noticeably cooler. In order to get it to stay on heat, I either have to disable auto, or turn the temperature way up (to 25 or 26) to make it switch back to heat. I'm not one of those people who want heat blasting the whole time, and I get that in an EV you don't want to be wasting energy, which is why I find it particularly odd that the car seems to go from heating, to proactively cooling with AC. Is it just me?! I'm going to try disabling the auto demist, because I'm thinking that might be related.

Thanks for the reply. I suppose that makes sense!

If it charges at other chargers and not at home then it's the charger not the car. Have you a timer set or anything?

Looks like there is a new release available

Can I get some recommendations for tyres please.

I would like low noise tyres. I live in the south of the country & coastal so never really awful weather.

Budget wise I dont mind spending on good quality low noise tyres

Thank you for the recommendations, I will get an order in soon, just had nct and threads are at 3mm

Great thread (and the 1.0), thanks to everyone who's posted info. Will be getting a 2nd car next year and would like to get an EV.

Main criteria is that it needs to be able to do a trip down the country without charging, I've got destination charging.

The trip is 142km long: 73km of which is motorway, and almost all the rest on N roads (100kph)

For 3 minutes longer, the trip can be shortened to 138km: 56km on motorway, 20km at 80kph and the rest at 100kph.

From reading this thread, for most of the year, it seems the 28kwh Ioniq can do the 142 km route and do 120 on the motorway, worry free (> 10% remaining)?

On single digit or headwind days, for the sake of a few minutes more, I can do the 138km version worry free ?

Are most 2017 Ioniqs on sale here Irish Ioniqs (not imports)? I hate having to resurrect the mile part of my brain.

Does the Paddy Spec have basic cruise control and heated seats?

I've been so impressed on the motorway with the ioniq. I did 120 gps & it was so efficient.

If you get one take the next road & you can always slow down a little

Yea, we are very happy with ours also, will be a five year old car in a few weeks.. (Though technically not till June). It's Swimbo's car and has also been trouble free for her apart from a few timed charging/heating errors. Hasn't cost a penny in her two years of ownership except for leccy and very small depreciation. I think she will miss it when she gets her new 5 in a few weeks..

Called the Ioniq 3 now https://hyundai.ie/ioniq3/

Hyundai dont appear to have addressed the charging speed yet

"... its powerful new lithium-ion polymer battery needs less than an hour to charge to 80% state of charge when using a 100 kW direct current (DC) fast-charger station"

"less than an hour" isnt exactly fast unless they mean 30mins less!

Yeah, "less than an hour" is similar to the ioniq38 now.

It's pathetic what they did to the nameplate. The 28, and the Ioniq5 are brilliant at fast charging, the peak of their era, nearly 3C. Yet inbetween we have this idioticly slow 38.
