Its // parking on right as you drive in, first bay is normal parking, next two are marked for EV.

ICED quite often by the limo type cars waiting for clients and regularly during the day by an employee of the DAA who drives a Leaf and is often plugged in there for 2 or 3 hours

Should a note perhaps be left on the said car, asking the owner to leave the RFID card in the flap, so someone who needs a charge can disconnect the car? This would be my course of action if I seen an EV regularly block a CP.

If a car is fully charged, can ecars not remotely disconnect it?

then they said they were charging earlier and when I asked them how they can fast charge a van that can't fast charge the got in and drove off......I also made the point that the chargers are not even compatible with the van because it has no fast charge capability.

I could never get my head round how Renault thought it would be a good idea to manufacture a small van with a small Electric battery without the ability to fast-charge. It beggars belief. I appreciate they have an option on the 40kW (car - not van) that just slow charges - which is fine given the range available via that battery but on the Kangoo?...ridiculous.

Well wear Unkel + Mope

We drive with regen zero. Pulse and glide is great for city driving.

+1

Personally I'm finding 0 regen to be the best for efficiency, even on longer suburban and rural spins. I keep it at 0 and dial in the regen accordingly to slow down or brake to a stop. Only discovered last week that you can hold the regen paddles for a second to give you full or 0 regen, saves tapping 3 times

Got 12.0kWh/100km yesterday on a 110km trip via the N71 from Schull to Cork city. Normal driving, 100km/h when possible and a few bursts in sports mode for overtaking. Fairly happy as this is probably the longest route (roundtrip) I would do on a semi-regular basis.

So I know there are at least 2 new owners on here (Unkel, Mope).
How are ye getting on?
I know the point and squirtability of the EV probably has ye driving a bit more uneconomically than ye normally would, but what sort of "real world" range are ye getting? Are ye comfortably over the 200km per charge range?
Any weird rattle/squeaks/niggles?
Glad ye took the plunge?

I'm still getting used to driving economically particularly when it comes to traffic lights Does that ever get old? :pac: But yeah delighted with EV ownership so far, don't even have the home CP installed yet - I could definitely live with just the granny cable.

Based on my initial findings in terms of efficiency and my driving style I would conservatively use the following estimates when planning a journey in the Ioniq. These allow for having ~20km left in the tank to hopefully get me out of any potential trouble if depending on a public CP or FCP at my destination.

Motorway (~120km/h): 150km
National routes (~100km/h): ~200km
Suburban/rural (~50-60km/h): ~220km

5 owners who are regulars on boards. Not bad going at all! We must keep our register up, so please fill in below, thelikelylad and liamog:

1. Mope - Ioniq BEV - Platinum Silver - 171D
2. unkel - Ioniq BEV - Platinum Silver - 171D
3. liamog - Ioniq BEV - Polar White - 171
4. Fiery mutant - Ioniq BEV - polar White - 171 WH
5. thelikelylad Ioniq BEV - 171

I'd say you're in the ballpark there with conservative estimates. Have a trip coming up in the summer where I will not have a FCP until Waterford which is 160km from my home (except the one in Naas, but I'm still almost fully charged passing that one). I normally cruise well above 120km/h on empty good quality motorways, but I don't think that will be wise this time, with no alternative fast charging possible. Car will be full of people and luggage, and aircon will be blasting ice cold (for at least the driver )

What would be the speed you'd recommend for me to make it for sure to the FCP 160km away? Final destination is 225km away, I could probably make it without charging, but I wouldn't like to depend on granny charging and arriving dead empty and taking a big risk with the whole family in the car and driving at Miss Daisy speeds

I haven't done any long motorway spins with 5 in the car so not 100% sure but I would stick to 110km/h max to start with. I love adaptive cruise but I think it hurts efficiency on a long motorway run so that's another thing to consider. I could be wrong but I think adaptive cruise uses regen level 1 by default? So you
won't really save any juice by coasting. Personally I would have a backup CP in Killkenny in mind and then make a call on whether a stop is needed when you near the M9 exit. Shouldn't be too hard to kill some time there if needs be.

Rush hour is an excellent way to stretch your range :P

Actually... one way to do it is to go via ballacolla or urlingford rapid and then down through kilkenny. it's a bout 20 minutes on to the journey but it works.
Or ESB could have solved the whole issue by replacing the Junction 14 and Carlow rapids (both of which were replaced in the last 12 months) with triple heads...but noooo... they wanted to do it on the cheap.... despite it being blindingly obvious to everyone and their next door neighbors dog that chademo was on the way out in europe.

This could be an option actually. Manor Stone is a nice place to stop, normally not too busy either and you could grab a Taco fries or have a nose at the Tesla Supercharger

The thing is that you need to leave 20-30 Kms to get to a charge point.

At least if there are issues with Waterford FCP then there seems to be a few CP's quite close by to get you out of trouble. So you only need to have about 5km left on arrival in Waterford to get you out of any trouble.

Dowtcha boy!

Corcaigh Abú!

Yes, I do have Android Phone (HTC M8s), I usually plug the cable, wait for Android Auto logo appear on Dash (I've added it to My Menu) and that is it. But sometimes Phone calls just won't work due to previously described issues.
As for rear window - visibility in that thing is terrible, almost non existing. I have Juventus scarf on there just to cover it even more

I saw someone calculating his range by using this kWh/100km, but I don't understand it :] My avg is 13.7 give or take 0.2kWh
Is it counted as 28 kWh in total so if I do 13kWh on Avg I should get 28 - 13.5 (100KM) - 13.5 (100KM) and then I have 1kWh left after driving 200km with my given avg? Is this how it's calculated? Sorry if I am being stupid here

That is awesome :-) I feel so much more up to speed with the car (the joy is in little things!)

So can anyone comment on two things I noticed with the car so far?
Doors handles and Phone Bluetooth when using Android Auto?

How do you guys exactly calculate what potential range can you do with the style you drive? I have to write this down somewhere.

I haven't noticed anything to be honest with the handles, but I'll keep an eye out for it.

The Android auto I have only used a little bit, but when I have used it, it has worked fine, much better than the Bluetooth on my previous cars.

Actually... one way to do it is to go via portlaoise, ballacolla or urlingford rapid

This will increase the trip by 20km to 240km, but the beautiful thing is that Urlingford rapid is at the half way point and I presume I will have destination charging (rented holiday home), so I only need to worry about having 120km range. This can easily be done in the Ioniq V-max

So thanks for the tip!

Almost 1000km done so far. And spent a total of €0.40 in electricity...

0.40 , a gallon of petrol must be 6.50
There is 16.25 0.40's in 6.50
So 16.25 x 1000 is 16250
So basically you are getting 16250 MPG .

I guess you drive with a face like this
