Hyundai Ioniq 5

Anyone know how much service cost is?

The pages in the manual

Thanks for the responses. We have sticker with 30k kms on it. I asked what service costs were when car was delivered and was told he wasn't sure, probably about €200. I asked what had to be done in an electric car that would cost that amount. He said it needs to be connected to computer and calibrated. He sounded like he wasn't at all sure. I had wanted to see if there was a service plan but forgot about it before buying. Was told afterwards that Hyundai have stopped their service plan as they were losing money on it. So I'm still none the wiser about what the actual cost will be for a regular service. I was always told by EV owners that their services cost very little.

Anyone getting much better range now in the warmer weather?

Anyone noticing paint chipping on the bonnet. Noticed a few not bit more than previous cars. Maybe should have went for paint protection.

I wonder does the air-con use the heat pump only to heat the car as opposed to resistive heating which uses a bit more juice?

I remember in the old Ioniq there was a way to use the heat pump only to heat the car but I just can't remember mode I used.

I have been waiting 2 months for a local detailing company to get the cut outs for vinyl wrapping the front painted panel, the mirrors and bonnet. It seems none have been designed yet - at least available to Irish detailers - and though the company can wrap and free hand cut the vinyl, they don’t want to do that for fear of nicking adjacent paint.

With matte paint and Kerry roads it can only be a matter of time before the Council start flinging tar chippings into wet potholes, tapping them with a pointed shovel and leaving them for cars to pull them out and fling them at the vehicles behind, including mine.

Hi All, Happy Monday - have been looking at a EV for a couple of years and being in a terraced house and no drive was a blocker however i have found at least two installers who can now install a charge point and have cable management so in the market and was looking at the Ioniq5. Will be using to go from Ashbourne to Parkwest 2 or three times a week and then potter around the village as needed. Current car is a 2016 Jag XF so will be a change and looking to get feedback from owners who made the jump but also hear what the quality of the car is like.

Unsure on model i will order but could be premium with 73kw option as we drive to Achill Island every so often,

Thanks in Advance

Here's one solution :)

This company has also installed a pedestal in the planted section next to parking spaces which is much nicer than an installation on the path or within the parking space itself.

I think the next few years will be messy with the council getting the finger out for on street parking installations, especially as management companies are involved in multi unit developments.

Just to note on my situation the Cul-de-sac i live is has very little foot traffic and is also not council owned or controlled and neither private management firm. So so long as i take all hazard precautions and charge at night only when needed it should be ok.

All, I have been watching and learning from this thread for the last few months (thank you!) - enough so to convince me to order and take delivery of a 58kWh Exec+ mid January. It is an amazing car and all going fantastic until a few weeks ago, I got a coolant level warning (the pink one) and an "engine" control system warning. Garage initially topped up coolant, but fault reoccurred and then diagnosed it as a water pump failure and the car has been off the road for nearly 3 weeks waiting for the part to arrive. A loaner Kona hybrid has alleviated most of the hassle, but the fault and the supply chain problems are concerning. I saw online that there were problems with the water pump when the car was launched last year, but very little failure reports I could find after that. Has anyone else seen this issue or had difficultt accessing parts?

We had posts on need for Isolator Switch on forum back at start of Jan (I had hoped to avoid installing one) but quote I got included one and installer forwarded below which I shared. As I am due to get unit installed at start of April so I contacted them again today, see their reply below. If anyone has info on new regulation that supersedes below I would be grateful if they could post.

Hi , I have not heard form any of our customers that their chargers have been stolen. It is a mandatory requirement here in Ireland to have an isolator installed within 2 meters from the charger and is easily accessible. If the charger is stolen, it could be potentially easily trackable if connected to the internet as it will have an IP address. At the same time, it could also be useless to the person who tries to use it as it will be set up on your account and locked. Keep a note of your S/N of the charger. Apart from that I am unsure what else I can say or do to reassure you. A lot of these forums could be referenced to UK standards which is different to here.

The installer challenged that for the safe certification and the reason he was given was is needed for maintenance, but the power also needs to be cut to service the isolator too so he got the safe cert without isolator apparently. Only going by what he told me unfortunately I had one of those isolators already in place.

There is also the terminology it's a rule but is it a regulation. Probably depend on the installer and getting the certification. This guy was big on the esthetics of the unit.

Theft is set to take off

It looks like the Grand Uranus car carrier is in the Suez Canal and making it’s way to Cork.
