Hyundai Ioniq 28kWh

And this is kinda typical. Herself driving most of that in the last few days as I was abroad. We both always drive in sport mode and she has an even heavier foot than me. Several stretches on motorways but mostly M50 so around 120km/h mostly or a bit below in heavier traffic



I reset average consumption about 1000km ago and since then it has averaged 11.5kWh -> implicated range 245km. I don't think I've exceeded 150km/h in the last 1000km though, so no very fast driving.

42kwh should be 300km easy

That's the magic combination which would tip me into buying.

I read somewhere that it is going to be 48kWh. So if the 28kWh is a 200km (driving extremely hard or in winter) to 250km normal real life car, , the upgraded one will be a:

350-430km car in real life or up to 600km in ideal circumstances. It will do Dublin to Cork at 140km/h without charging

Maybe, maybe late next year here but I doubt it. And who knows what the price will be here. If it is not around €30k tops, the Tesla Model 3 at €39k would be a better proposition...

There is a lot of debate as to whether Hyundai has significant space in the body shell for a significantly bigger pack. There is no underfloor cavity like the Leaf or Tesla. So it remains to be seen what sort of additional energy can be provided, especially soon, as the battery density is unlikely to increase that much

The other issue as you rightly point out is the price point, pushing the Ioniq or for that matter the 2018 Leaf into 30-35K, territory is going to be a big turnoff , with the Model 3 looking a far better bet

SO I think the next Ioniq will be more then likely just incremental, rathe like the 24 to 30 kWh Leaf , I cant see it being close to 50 kWh in the near future , I suspect that will need a new body pan.

I suspect also that the 2018 Leaf will be a big decider for Hyundai

Agreed. I'm sceptical too that a 48kWh battery would fit. Can't remember where I saw that, must try dig up a link later.

If they do manage to get a real life 400km range 5 seater economy car out there for under €30k, it might be the first EV car to be accepted by the masses. A nice thought at least

^^^^ That's probably concept waporware. In real life it might look more like this, I think:

Perfect temps for Ioniq today, 27C here in Lucan. Drove at least as hard as usual and got 9.7kWh/100km

I got 10.2 for my work run, which I was delighted with. Below is my last few days, minus today.

What tyres would you be putting on one of these? Trying to get to a total running cost..

Thanks

It comes on Michelin energy saver a/s, designed for electric cars to maximise efficiency. Looks like they're about 80e a wheel.

That seems very cheap for Michelin tyres. Any linky?

Found them here: http://www.oponeo.ie/tyres-list/michelin-tyres/205-55-r16

Thanks!

What kind of price are people getting for a 172 with full leather?

I'm paying €29,450 with the leather, but hope to take it on a 171 plate if it's ready in time.

Thanks...that include keyless also? Are there any other options available? Not much info on the Hyundai site!

The "premium" spec (only one offered on the EV in Ireland), with leather fitted as an extra. Includes keyless entry, cruise control, lane assist, rear camera and all the other gubbins.

I take it that you are not taking the 4k scrappage offer?

Correct!
