Hyundai Ioniq 5

12V battery drain is a common issue especially if it was on the boat from Korea for a few weeks.

See this video:

There is a utility mode you can enable which will force a charge of the 12V battery.

New software released today but not listed on their site yet

I no experience myself as paid the balloon payment and sold it a few years later.

But I can't see how you'd get a decent deal from a garage on that.

Anyone share how they got on with settlement figure and what's left over.

Good to know. But my god he’s hard to listen to. Must buy one of the battery packs. Anyone know where to get one? Would I have seen them in Lidl one time?

I don't clear the settlement before trade in. The garage that takes it as a trade in does that and what's left goes towards the car your are buying off them. When it come time to collect the new car I hand them the keys and reg cert and drive off in the new car. A few days later a letter from the finance company arrives acknowledging the clearing of the finance.

Even the car buying sites will buy a car that's on pcp, from https://webuycars.ie/faq/

Viable of course means provided they are offering you more for the car than the outstanding finance.

I only see battery discharge warnings if I have the radio running or am using the menus while the car is not in 'Start' mode. This does seem to cause battery drain on the 12v system. The manual says that there is a 'Utility' setting in the menus which allows you to power all the media and systems functions directly from the main battery whilst parked, but when I tried to turn this on, I got a' Conditions not met' message, which I don't understand.

I use utility mode a reasonable amount, some say you only need to if you going to be there 30 mins plus but it only takes 10 seconds to flip on so why not use it?

The conditions required are I think, being in P, being in "ready" state and having X % of main battery charge left. Not sure of the X figure though.

Ok good to know, but also consider the state of the market at the moment. People beating down your door for 2nd hand cars. That was not the case 3 years ago when my PCP ended and added complexity and cost. I was getting bad deals and also increased PCP payments (new car same model) as the market driven equity was not there (equity and low payments is the real advantage of PCP).

Point being don't just think how things are now consider how they would be in the future, for that reason I'd never do a PCP again at least a bit of certainty on your payments etc. on HP and personal finance loans.

Has your bluelink crashed?, mine did on the 11th and again today

I am out of the country and was using the Bluelink to check on the car from time to time, I got a message today saying I can no longer use the Bluelink to check the cars status as its been more than a week since the car has been powered up.

I guess using the app a lot drains the 12 volt battery, I wonder is this a source of some of the battery drain issues!

Interesting cross country round trip from North Kerry to just south of Cork city today. 72.6 kWh battery Premium Plus.

292 kms round trip, same route both ways. Started with 100% battery. 10 degrees C, wind average around 3.7 metres per second tail wind/ 3/4 rear tail wind.

Had the heater on intermittently at 21 C passenger and 21.5 C driver with fan speed 1. Dry all the way outbound. Kept close to top end of speed limits where possible. Auto regeneration. USB MP3 on for part way. Battery use 35%.

Return vastly different. Heavy rain, wind 5 metre per second head wind, 3/4 head wind. Heating - temp as outbound but fan speed varied between 3 and 1. Wipers and headlights all the way. No MP3. 0 regeneration. Battery use 45%.

A number of observations:

The rear screen problem - by half way home visibility was very poor. However as I’m used to driving vehicles with only wing mirrors, not a problem plus I have a rear dash cam mounted high on the rear window with the screen left on. Using the rear view mirror the cam screen can be seen and with the lens being close to the glass more can be seen than through the window.

With 0 regeneration the brakes actually gave a little regeneration according to the screen but the brakes seem slower to respond than on my i40, which may be due to the extra weight.

I had hoped to compare auto regeneration wit 0 regeneration but the weather precluded that.

Just put order in for Ioniq 5. I am with energia already and was going to sign up to their EV plan and get the free charger with them. Anything against doing this? Seems straightforward enough. Is there a better option? I'm fairly certain it should be standard installation and not require extra works as charger will go right beside the meter outside and car pulls right up to it. House was built 2005 so should all should be ok I think. Should I get assessment done right away?

There's always a catch with an offer like this. I looked into it too but weighed up the cost, my Zappi V2 cost me €600 net also (still waiting on grant but confident it will be paid) and I am out of contract end of February so I am planning to move onto the cheapest night rate I can get.

Thanks all for the replies.

I put my figures into bonkers but can't see night rate plans?

Do I also need to change my meter to a night rate meter?

In your opinion. Plenty of others disagree. You felt the need to contribute this to a thread mainly filled with owners of said vehicle. Borderline trolling.
