Hyundai Ioniq 28kWh - thread 2.0

That's probably the cheapest you'll get from any dealer right now.

Will do that commute no problem all year round.

I have a 2019 with 97,000 km on the clock and I'm getting up to 220 km from a full charge right now - mainly regional roads with some motorway.

Fantastic car. My plan is to keep it indefinitely! 🙂

Yes, had car set at 22C on a recent hot interior car, made driving very comfortable without sitting in a fridge..😊

It's a great car. Since I bought mine in 2018 I've had a BMS 530e, a Kia soul 64kW and am about collect a Tesla Model Y LR.

"Pound for pound" the ioniq 28 was the best

Just did what is likely my last long drive in my 191 Ioniq 28, getting the Ioniq 5 Executive in July. Drove Wicklow-Dundalk-Wicklow. Started with 213km, filled up in Castlebellingham southbound to 100% at the ESB charger - I was having Burger King and notified charge complete as I was walking back to the car 32 mins later. Covered 306km with 13.6Kwh effeciency 70% Motorway driving at 110km cruise control, got home 20% battery remaining. Filling up now on sunshine.

I'm going to miss this car and it's efficiency, but looking forward to the sligtly longer range in my new spaceship. Figured on the worst day in Winter the new Ioniq would cover the same distance but with a quicker top up.

These cars love the warm weather, don't they?!

Mine is currently sitting with 178km on the trip meter, with a remaining range of 62km.

********EPCU Failure Update*

Thought i'd give you an update of the EPCU failure I had in case anyone else gets one. 8 weeks ago my car stopped charging and gave an EV fault. Car wouldn't move and I had to get a flat bed tow to the nearest Hyundai dealer. Dealer had the car for a week and called me to say the EPCU had failed and it would cost 6800 Euro to replace. I contacted Hyundai Ireland as this part was replaced as part of a recall in 2018. Hyundai said your warranty is up so they won't entertain any liability on their part. The dealer submitted a request to Hyundai for a good gesture repair which was rejected. The dealer then offered me a 10% discount to do the repair. I explored the option of trading the car in as is with the dealer but they wouldn't offer me any price on it without the repair. Thankfully I did a search here and John Earls motors came up a few time. I ran them and explained what I was dealing with. They were fairly honest and said if you send it down they will see what they can do but it may take months to get the part. Luckily I had a second car so I had the luxury of time to see what they would come back with. Local dealer charged 200 euro for diagnostic and wouldn't release the car until paid. I had to pay another 375 to get the car transported to Arklow. Two week later JE Motors contacted me and said they have the problem diagnosed and are on the search for a part and they'd contact me when they have further information. JE Motors had the car for a little over 5 weeks in total but got the job done...Charge was 1900!!. To add to it the dealer had told me the break pads needed replacing so I'd said it to JE to change them out when they had the car..When they looked the pads had little to no wear and he told me they didn't need to be changed....full disclosure, I don't work for them and wouldn't of had a clue they existed only for this forum...saved myself a small fortune....many thanks and full recommendation for the Arklow lads.

Thanks for sharing. Good to know. I hate dealing with main dealers of any brand and wouldn't trust a word of what they say... As you have found out. Glad you saved yourself a packet.

You should name and shame that dealer, ‘cause that’s only bolloxology of the highest order.

Almost at 147k here.

Time to move on i think, just getting caught for range too often now with the jlkids getting bigger and being driven here there and yonder.

Trying to decide what to next. We have 2x ioniq 28 so will be keeping the second one for sure.

For 5 years that car has been great, still excellent battery etc.

Looking at trading in the dealers are having palpitations over the mileage. I dont think mileage is as big an issue as in an ICE tbh but old thinking dominates still.

Folks am I right in thinking that the 28KW is a two year service schedule? Anyone have one serviced recently so I can get an idea of cost? I'll be ringing a few dealers this week for quotes.
