Hyundai Ioniq 5

Looks like authorities in the U.S getting involved in charge/Iccu issues now.

Hopefully this will kick Hyundai into a proper customer service experience when dealing with the issues unlike what they've been at up to now.

Heading to France in a few weeks with Ioniq 5. I have chargemyhyundai card. Am I right to assume this should cover most of my public charging needs or should I get Chargemap card as well?

I think the motorway estimates on this are accurate. I haven't monitored city driving too closely.

I covered Bray to Midleton turning off at Fermoy at the speed limit which is around 265k and arrived with 3% on the June back holiday. On the return journey we went via Dunkettle interchange and I had to slow down to 100k p/h from around Portlaoise to make it home.

I have done Bray to Limerick over winter a few times and think the lowest I ever arrived at was 5%.

I think the sensor for the windscreen wipers is in the middle of the windscreen behind the the rearview mirror but is open the cabin so it can fog up.

The only time I have had issues like you describe was when the windscreen wasn't fully defogged.

Make sure you keep the windscreen fully defogged.

Also clean the outside of the windscreen with glass cleaner from time to time, grime on the glass might be interfering with the sensor.

Turned on the car last night to be greeted with the “Check EV System” message and warning light. Will ring the garage today but wondering if anyone has experienced the same? I know my local garage has about 3 weeks lead time for appointments but manual says to refrain from driving…

Have you drove it and if doing so dose it decrease the power/speed. Also if your 12 volt battery goes dead over night (lights infotainment etc. not working) you will then have the ICCU warranty issue.

If you do make sure they order both the ICCU and fuse (one poster here they tried just replacing the fuse and ICCU blew then).

I had this issue don't expect a quick fix I sold my car to another dealer who was fixing it as original dealer wouldn't give me a replacement car.

I passed by the dealers service center an my car was sitting in the same location as I left it 4 weeks ago and that was 3 weeks after it originally went in (7 weeks in total).

This is becoming a more regular occurrence especially in cars between 12 to 15 months.

Iccu allows V2L charging so is a new feature in the industry so in hindsight bound to have some issues.

P.s:

The dealer you bought it from should address if warranty issue and, also contact Hyundai Ireland if they don't (they weren't much good for me to get a replacement car but at least could put pressure on the dealer to assess it if warranty issue or not).

Has been one of sorts in Korea, Hyundai say it's only effecting 2022 cars and have a Sw rollout to address this month but also will "fix" affected modules. They'll fix alright but how long will it take and how well will they look after effected customers.

I wonder if this is happening with the ev6 or indeed the new ioniq 6?

Yep, agree with mrm I just rang the AA directly they had to tick the box with assess the car if can be fixed then shipped it off to the nearest service centre, you get two days free rental (but took them 3 days to diagnose it for me).

Fun with replacement car started then 🤬

Ideally you need to send it to the dealer you bought it from (less complicated trying to pin down a replacement car). I didn't do that as dealer I bought it from was in Sligo which is a few hours away and the just weaseled out of it.

went out in the car last night and took it for a drive to deplete some of the battery. No error on the screen. Have seen it could also be related to the charging port so wanted to test it on both AC and DC. Car charged both times with no issue (didn’t charge long on either).

plugged it back in last night and the error is back this morning. Booked in for the 19th with the dealer that I got to service it. It’s not my local dealer nor the one I bought it from but I’ve found the service department in my local dealer are not up to scratch

Missus left in her car last week for software update re ongoing problems scheduled charging.

They said if in by 08:30 then should be ready in an hour or so.. Off she went walking to do a bit of shopping, they called about 10am to say would take longer, should be ready by lunch. She called back at 1 to be told still wasn't ready, eventually she picked up at 3pm. Arrived home exhausted after such a long day for something that should be simple.

Then they presented her with an invoice for €180, naturally she told them where to go.. I think the missus will be changing to Tesla next time..

The scheduled charging appears to be working again, but only charged once since. Attached pic after update..

Waterford. Many new staff there who seem to have very little EV knowledge. Sales manager wasn't there that day, he at least seems to have knowledge.

She loves her car, I agree it is a great car, just a pity such a hassle at times..

Just back from 2000km trip around UK.

Mostly Ionity (with discount) with a couple of Gridserve charges (big hub near my main destination in Norwich). Trip from Norwich down to Brands Hatch for Super Tourers event (sometimes you need that noise and smell of petrol).

Longest leg was from Stafford Ionity to Norwich. A tad over 325km. Had charged to 90% at Stafford and arrived in Norwich with 8%. Not too shabby for 58kwh battery.

Overall consumption was 16.6kwh/km.

Congratulations, what spec did you get? I'm still waiting for mine to be delivered, was told it would be this month.
