Hyundai Ioniq 28kWh

If to believe manual 15k service is when they inspect everything and rotate tires. The later is the only thing I am mostly interested for even tire wear.
Also, wipers? Not sure how are yours guys, but mine leaves lines of water. Cleaned them a good few times with no visible improvements.
Tire rotation is free, wipers, however most likely will cost. Thinking maybe just replacing them myself with some Bosch or Champion

Once the warranty is out of course you can just do the brake fluid and air filter yourself

5 year full warranty on our cars

After the 5 years, if you do an annual 30k km like Mope, it would be pretty silly to replace your pollen filter and brake fluid every year imho.

And even within warranty, my main concern about a dealer service is a software update rather than anything else. The car does have bugs that hopefully will be sorted out. The most annoying of course is that drive mode settings and charging settings regularly get set back to defaults. Personally I don't even really care about map updates as the nav software is always going to be inferior / out of date compared with dedicated packages or even Google Maps.

Anyone contact their dealer yet about the recall? I believe some UK dealers have confirmed it will be done, but are waiting until sometime next month until they receive the necessary parts.

unkel, what recall?
Looks like my annual will be circa 30k defo
As for Map - do not care as well, although tweaks for Software are welcome if any. Is there any known new version of Software for a car?
btw, just a random Tip (maybe someone does not know): You can turn of Automatic Demister by holding the button for "windshield demist" for circa 5 sec.

Ouch, sounds serious... Any of our dealers talk about it?

Any news on the Plug-in Hybrid version being released in Ireland? Only 2 months left in the year and the Hyundai website still says coming in 2017. I can't find anything online here for it but apparently it is available in the UK.

Hi, In trouble again, I plugged car in for charge this morning, in rushing, i left car on, closed door, now key fob will not open door, any ideas how to unlock? thanks!

Weird. Any luck with the physical key?

I think the lock is underneath the door handle.

Hi it was at work slow charger (3kw), could not get plastic cover off lock, probably need something like needle, luckily boot opened so got in through back, charger then would not release so pulled emergency release cable in boot!

Hi, I've decided to wait till January to take delivery, for the sake of a couple of months I'll wait for the 181 reg, when can I apply for the free charger and RFID card, ESB registration site is asking for a reg number which I obviously don't have yet, does this mean I have to wait and will I qualify if the ESB stop giving out free chargers at the end of the year.

as far as I remember they require you to produce a copy of the registration certificate, a copy of the purchase contract and a copy of a recent utilities bill, so just the reg number is not enough. good luck!

Just got this email from the dealer. Does this mean I can apply when the grant is in place and I produce the dealers code which I have.

. I have just received an email from SEAI to say the free charging point will end this year. So my advice is to get onto the asap if possible. Next year will be a grant towards the cost which doesn't look like it will cover the full cost.

Later on today I will fill in the application online for you to get the SEAI grant in place for the vehicle.

All public charge points except fast chargers with CHAdeMo only

Saw an Ioniq 172D coming out of the estate opposite my own (off Griffeen Glen) in Lucan. It went to the local FCP but didn't charge. At the local FCP there was another white Ioniq 171G about to charge. Either one anyone in here?

A charging unit is fitted at your home but was told by hyundai dealer it will cost about 10 euro out here to fully charge your car and a fully hybrid car coming out next year

A car with a 28kw battery pack will cost about €4 to fill from almost empty at 16c per kwh.
On night rate that would be reduced to €2.
Im my case I commute 100km per day so I only use 50% of the available battery energy. It costs me about €2 per day, which would be €1 per day on night rate electricity.

6.65c is the cheapest night rate. So about €2 if the battery is completely empty, allowing for charging inefficiencies of about 10%

Or completely free day or night if you sign up with Just Energy

is there any chance we can start naming and shaming these idiots. Hyundai need to know that these thick dealers are doing both Hyundai and the EV community a complete disservice with this idiocy. Are these salespeople getting any kind of training at all?
