Hyundai Ioniq 5

Out of interest which Ioniq 5 version?

Hi all

Enyaq 60iv was due in July having been ordered in October and now put back at least 12 weeks and likely that’s likely to grow. Can get a Ioniq 5 Executive plus in 4 weeks. Would you wait for a highly possible 2023 Enyaq or go with the Ioniq. Currently do 800kms a week - 3 young kids and 2 dogs.

Thanks

Just completed my longest trip today, Co.Cork to Co. Tyrone ,468 km most of which was on motorway

I managed to do it with a single 30 minute charge stop at junction 14 , arriving at my destination with 9% remaining .

This is a trip I do a couple of times a year so it was great to be able to complete it with just a single stop.

How did you find the charging infrastructure when you got to Tyrone? On my last visit I found a surprising number of the 22kw (i.e. 11kw) AC chargers in use so had to go late at night to get a top up

Received my grant of €600 from SEAI today, 36 days after posting off the forms. A great deal faster than the 42-56 days they state is the expected turnaround from receipt of the forms.

Sent my documents in on February 11th. Got all the paperwork back on 4th March cos the electrician forgot to fill in the installation date on one part of the cert 3, even though every other form in the pack was dated correctly. Very frustrating to be back at the bottom of the pile again over something so small.

Interior colour is fixed based on exterior colour. Darker paints gets white grey leather in Premium.

No custom orders AFAIK, Hyundai Ireland get allocated stock at fixed trim spec and that's it!

My PCP is up in July on my Skoda Kodiaq and seriously considering making the jump to full electric. Had a test drive in the Ionic 5 last week and was impressed. Dealer said there should be no problem getting stock for July in any colour or spec. Drove the Enyaq also but was told next January realistically before stock is available. Pound for pound though the Ionic seems the better deal.

Impressive how well Hyundai are servicing the Irish market. Over 800 in two months this year. Twice as many as any other EV.

Even better when compared to other countries, 989 cars sold in the registered in U.S in January and over 400 in Ireland in Jan. Australia seems to be getting small numbers. We seem to be getting similar allocations as scandanavian countries which have massive ev sales.

There seems also to be continued deliveries march and April also.

Hyundai has a very good record in Ireland in SUV's where Ioniq 5 fits. VW kinda dose it more on the no. of models they sell. Also ioniq 5 has won award after award so is bound to sell.

VW have big exposure in relation wiring connectors supplied from Ukraine now. I would think Hyundai would be less effected with suppliers from Asia (of course not immune especially if COVID lockdowns start kicking off there again).

Can only hope that the war will stop in Ukraine firstly for the Ukrainians. But again what happened again on petrol and diesel prices I think will accelerate EV adoption even more (if the economy doesn't tank).

According to Facebook Ioniq 5 group, well known dealer in Kildare says Premium & Plus models are expected May/June.

It looks like the April shipment will only have Premium LE spec & lower available.

I also have Premium Plus on order since January.

Hi all, looking into picking up one of these as they look great and come well recommended.

two questions..

1. how much would it cost to get the proper charging setup in place at home and is that covered partly under the €600 grant I saw mentioned on this thread?
2. the various charging points you’d see at petrol stations, would these work for all EVs for only specific ones? In other words, can Ionic 5 use these

thanks!

I've been experimenting with different methods of heating and ventilation in my Premium Plus. Using the voice commands to access both heating and air conditioning I've found it easier to access the systems hat way when on the move and, interestingly, using air conditioning not only gives a more pleasant and balanced delivery of heating, and I presume cooling as it hasn't yet got above 13 degrees in Kerry, but the drop in range when heating the car using air conditioning is significantly less.

Using the heating system on the fresh air setting to a temperature of 21.5 degrees with the fan on speed setting 1 would show a drop of between 7 and 12 kms depending on the base temperature. This might improve by a kilometre or so as the car warmed. Using the air conditioning to the same settings has consistently showed a drop in range of only 3 kms with no change as the car warmed.

I've no idea why this should be and will continue to monitor the situation.
