Hyundai Ioniq 5

Picked up my premium plus phantom black. Ill take some pics tomorrow . Very impressed and it even comes with the v2l adapter for outside. Happy out .

Yeah been noticing this. Will figure out some easy fix.

Probably worth reading this discussion on whether water repellant coatings are worth it; jury seems to be out without some hard evidence, but some saying that it won’t help without airflow to move the beaded droplets.

Prob too early to say as I keep putting it in sport and regen off to accelerate on dualer and motorways haha.

I will say on ipedal mode around the suburbs I'm getting like 7km per kWh which would mean like 406km range for 58kw.

But with mixed use and driving more so at night (so near freezing temperatures) when the Baba goes to bed I'm averaging 5.6kwh total, which is a range of 325kmish. That's pretty good imo for how I've been driving it.

Thanks, spec seems as specified, all good so far. 🤗. App seems good, notified her that car was unlocked outside house. Also charging door opens and closes with key fob which is handy. Otherwise everything seems to be there and working. She will be out later so looking forward to a report on quality of lights and auto dipping etc. Will report back..

Yes saw that before, will be careful. And she always carries a booster pack after all the 12V reported problems in the classic Ioniq. (She never had any problems)

Yes, this is the 3rd time I've applied for it as the previous two EV I ordered fell through. I cancelled the charger applications against those.

Will wait until I have the car to do it this time 😊

To those of you that have collected your new cars - any issues with getting your current insurer to cover the car?

I’m just after working to get a quote but I can only pick Ioniq and no option for Ioniq 5 even in the trim selection. Reg number doesn’t come up yet either

I had to ring them up directly think was 70/80 euro more on top of my current policy.

I'll shop around again when it up in June.

My wife tried to change yesterday on line with Aviva, but as mentioned above the car was not included yet. had to wait about 20 mins for call to be answered and got through to a very pleasant lady from India who called out about 50 different names for different specced Ioniqs worldwide! I think the last one was Executive 58kWh..😊

No price increase over her previous Ioniq 28kWh.

Quite a few Ioniq 5 on carzone, but haven't looked at specific models.

I bet if you ring round you'd find one.

I do remember when I was changing my mind and trying to get a 73 premium or premium plus there were more of those about than the 58s (back in Nov).

But I reckon you'd find one.

I thought they cancelled all orders for smaller battery version?

I had an ID4 order supposed to be of August delivery but when sept came around they said they didn't know when.

Got my deposit back. Ring Hyundai dealers out the country and see if they have 58kwh maybe less demand and dealers will get an allocation.

My 73 kWh seems to be getting about 380 km to a full charge. That’s with heating and motorway driving.

Tends to go up a tad when driving in town. I’m hoping that will get to over 400 in the summer, maybe 420-430 without the heater on but that might just be wishful thinking.

I did try our the IONITY chargers - just to see. Worked perfectly but I didn’t manage to get it more than 90 kW.

That said I did charge it to 100% last night from about 25%. The charger app tells me that cost 5 Euro! 😇

Are you doing a trade in, they kept dropping the value of my trade in too.

You are talking about the EV home charger grant?

I recently applied and got approved. I don't have the car or any of it's details. I just filled in the online form and it was approved in 2 working days via email. The approval email has the letter of approval and the request form attached together.

However looking at the payment request form that was attached it looks like it needs a copy of log book, picture of vehicle of reg plate. So does that mean I have to have the car before I get the grant money if I go ahead with my installation? Anyone knows how the grant process work?

We have also had it once on our new car (New yesterday), also happened a few times previously on our other cars. I reckon it's the new wax and paint treatment on the sensors and cameras. The beading on our new i5 is spectacular..😊

 that it is, getting to appreciate that a lot in the first two days of ownership 😂

Unfortunately so, seems to be due to chip shortages

Ask yourself is it worth 5k to not have to stop for an hour and charge 4 times a year.

For me it is not worth 5k so I bought the 58kw. If I was going down to Kerry once a month I'd have got the 73kw. But I go maybe twice over to westcoast a year. Hence stopping 4 times.

Save the 5k and upgrade the 2nd car.
