That looks like the ICCU issue. The fuse blows on the HV battery and you shouldn't drive it afterwards.

Strange that the house tripped though. Wonder was there a power surge that blew the car and tripped the house?

There's an active recall for the ICCU in Europe since earlier this week.

I drove mine to the dealer (4 mile journey) after ringing them first for their confirmation that it would be Ok to drive.

AC went on my car last week, works fine on DC. Wait of over 4 weeks for the part to come from Korea.

@niall.. I drove mine for about 10km in order to get home after ICCU warning. If you are at home I'd advise not driving. The fact it won't charge on either Zappi or granny would suggest a car issue to me. Is Zappi tripping mains when you try charge? Hopefully it's not damaged.

Call your dealer, they will collect your car but before you arrange that make sure you get a loaner agreed.

The dealer is not obliged to provide you with one and may suggest that you must ask the AA for this (the AA provide cover and collection). AA will do this but the policy is very temporary, as in couple of days only, whereas dealer loan will be for as long as you need. Sounds like they can fix this issue quicker now but I was 5 months waiting on mine and grateful the dealer I had covered us for a loan car.

Update: car picked up by AA and taken to garage. Confirmed needs a replacement ICC unit. Waiting to hear from Hyundai Ireland when part will be available. Hire car for two days but going on holidays on Thursday for two weeks. Dealer has agreed to give me a loan car on my return if not sorted.

Abel Magwitch · 02-10-2023 8:31pm

Well timed holidays. Also a great time of year to go. Hope is sorted when you get back

It seems Hyundai have really upped their game dealing with the iccu issue, giving away free holidays now 🤣

Hi

thinking off buying my first electric can and I am looking at a Hyundai Ionic 5 what are the thoughts on this model is there anything I need to look out for

According to my dealer, this "Service Action" is to do with AC charging not DC, And it's DC that is causing some cars to brick.

He was trying to get me to leave it until next service, but after a bit of pushback its now booked it for the update in 3 weeks. No Loaner car, and estimated to take "the morning".

Abel Magwitch · 04-10-2023 10:22am

Trying to understand what he means there. If the fix is for the ac how can using a dc charger brick it? I presume I am missing something obvious here

Abel Magwitch · 04-10-2023 10:26am

I have mine since Feb. No issues whatsoever. Lovely to drive. We looked at all models in the class from other brands. We have oftentimes noted how we are happy we didn’t go with another brand.

The only issue is the iccu which you can read about if you scroll up. It seems to be on older cars, or is only showing up on them now anyway. If you are buying a new car it really shouldn’t be an issue as would imagine the problem has been engineered out in the factory

I can’t talk highly enough about it the only problems I have are small ones which would have with any car. Eg if I plug in a usb with music then there is no other port to get apple connect with my phone (i never use wireless) so small stuff really

No just that there are 2 different problems. There's a DC issue that could Brick it (and need new parts). But separately, there is an AC issue that can be fixed via software only. And the service action refers to the latter.

Abel Magwitch · 04-10-2023 1:14pm

That makes sense then thanks

Are these run flat tyres? I think that's what the Ioniq 5 comes with as there's no spare wheel in the boot.

We are being quoted 255 for Pirelli and I think they're run flat.

A lot of places saying you need EV specific tyres, is that true?

oscarBravo · 04-10-2023 3:24pm

I don't think it comes with runflats, there's a bodge repair kit in the boot instead.

You ideally want low rolling resistance tyres to optimise efficiency, but they're not actually required.

denismc · 04-10-2023 4:30pm

No, they are tubeless tyres, run flat would be even more expensive.

There are no specific EV tyres but consideration should be given to things like noise, grip and efficiency depending on your preference.

hooch-85 · 05-10-2023 12:36pm

Has anyone priced trading up to a 224 plate? We have a 221 executive with close to 50k on it, was wondering if it would make sense to change in 2024 or keep another year. I know the prices have gone up nearly 5k since so that probably won't help things.

D_D · 09-10-2023 2:03pm

Got my ICCU software update done, hopefully it'll help prevent any issues...

If you’re changing for the sake of a number plate, it could cost you €20K. Doesn’t make much sense unless the 241 model has significant improvements over your existing car.

Watched a video over the weekend (the Ioniq guy in the U S now) but he was saying that Hyundai are removing spec items for 2024 to improve profit!

Hyundai started down the penny pinching route a long time ago.

Dealer was telling me that they are starting to renege on warranty issues if the service intervals are gone over by a few 100 km's and they dont offer the 5 year service plan anymore.

Even the specs of the Ioniq 5's were cut when the recent grant reduction was announced.

Only a couple of hours, about half a day

Ouch! Think we were over by like 1,000km on last service.

I've considered whether to get a new car in January, we are on PCP since Jan 2022.

I guess depending on what our car is worth it might not cost a huge amount to upgrade but I haven't looked into it properly.

A guy on the Irish EV facebook page was mentioning 23k to change to 241 from a 221 73kw Premium Plus.

is that on a PCP agreement?

hooch-85 · 10-10-2023 10:58pm

Your not too far wrong, equivalent model is now €47k OTR, we paid €40k for ours. The trade in offer was €30k, bit disappointing which equates to €135 monthly uplift in repayments..

Needless to say we'll be keeping what we have.
