An icon showing ADS Off should blink to confirm that it's turned off. If you manually select the vents when ADS is detecting fogging it overrides your decision. I've not noticed any issues with the heating system, it's been quick enough to heat the car when needed.

New Leaf isn't amazing or anyting, but it holds well in comparison to current Ioniq, especially range, suggested price and dare I say it looks nice too? Ioniq of course is more efficient with smaller battery pack, quicker to charge, and more practical shape with a more practical boot especially with rear seats folded. I wonder how Hyundai is going to respond - since there's no new news on larger battery pack Ioniq for 2018, I am guessing they are bettin on other models like Kona to take shine away from new Leaf?

I guess we'll see how we're doing on the way to stop at either Portlaoise or Roscrea and then fully charge at Limerick for the final leg. If we make it in time for the ferry across to the island we'll cut a few kms off the distance For the list - it's 172 D in Marina Blue.

ELM327 wrote: » Hmm. I've never been to carnmore cross so if so perhaps there was another similar meeting I find EV owners to be a friendly group (generally) so I have no problems at all conversing with fellow owners at chargers whether I'm queueing or they are. Especially if I see someone is new and perhaps struggling to use the fcp/scp due to lack of dealer advice.

Lol, maybe we were talking to different people! You are right, almmost always a friendly bunch and some chats to be had at a charger.

However when I plugged it in (with almost empty battery), it showed the charging time of almost 4 hours, so this would mean the rate of only approx 7kW? Anybody can explain this a bit? Thanks,

cros13 wrote: » Afraid it's 7.2kW... both the i3 (2013-2016) and Ioniq pull more amps than the 6.6kW Leaf from single phase. The later i3 draws 3.6kW on single phase and 11kW on three-phase (3 x 16A).

bp_me wrote: » No? The charge unit at home only tells the car's onboard charger what it's allowed to draw. Its the charger that will dictate what rate it actually charges at not the chargepoint (assuming the chargepoint isn't the limiting factor). Obviously it's a bit of a pain if you need the higher charge rate....
