    Hyundai are switching to a new platform (e-GMP) that will underpin next-gen EVs from Hyundai and Kia. Hyundai are also switching Ioniq to be an EV subbrand, similar to I.D. by Volkswagen.

    One of the first cars will be the Ioniq 5. The Ioniq 5 is an electric crossover whose size is roughly the same as the current Hyundai Tucson. According to a spec sheet linked to an Austrian pre-order, the first edition will have an AWD system with 230kW of motor power, and acceleration of 5.2s 0-100km/h. The on-board AC charger is capable of 11kW. Notably the car comes with 800V DC charging, and will reportedly allow a 20% to 80% charge in 15 mins when charged via a capable DC charger (think Ionity). Range is expected to be 450km WLTP.

    A formal reveal is expected in February.

    That's a BEV I might actually buy that might make me consider ditching the Rex if the charge times are true and there's no major slow down in the Cold. In reality I have the Diesel Outlander but I never like driving a manual diesel after the i3.

    Ireland's Public charging network needs to seriously improve.

    Is the ESB 150 Kw chargers even capable of 800v ?

    It does look quite small in that pic though ?

    Probably take orders end of Q4 2021 ?

    Bjorn did show there wasn't much of a difference in charge times between the Porsche Taycan electric 800v and I think it was the Model s at higher current.

    800 volts will be more efficient and the Tesla ramps power down fast where as the Hyundai 800v system might be able to sustain this for much longer and it obviously does if those specs are to be believed and because there is less current the battery shouldn't heat up as much, the high current causes the Tesla battery to heat up fast.

    Reports indicate June/July for the first deliveries in Europe, so wouldn't be surprised to see it as a late '21/Jan '22 car here.
    It's 4,640mm long, 1,600mm tall and 1,890mm wide. For ref, the new Tucson is 4,475 x 1,645 x 1,850.

    I'm definitely adding it to the list for our Ioniq replacement, I think 800V DC charger will be required for mainstream adoption, even if we don't see a broad network for a few years.

    Given the Tucson pricing, if expect it to be €40k+.

    Sadly it'd mean having kearys as my service dealer, and they've been useless at every opportunity with my Ioniq.
    If, when spec'd up against the likes of the id4, it was significantly cheaper I might consider it. But I feel I'd regret it (because of the dealer, not the car)

    I'm expecting it to come in between 40k and 45k too, have you considered using a non local dealer?

    It's crossed my mind, though the next 2 nearest dealer are both kearys. Not sure if they're all equally poor, but that ship has sailed for me.

    Clonmel or Waterford city are the next 2. I bought my Ioniq from Boland's in Waterford, and while I've not dealt with them since (side from getting an email proving my 3rd service - done on the car before I bought it but not in the service book) they seemed more concerned for me and my satisfaction than kearys ever were. The range on the ioniq always meant they were never an option for servicing or warranty issues.

    Edit:
    I've taken this thread off topic already. We can leave it at that. When the time comes, we'll see what I do.


  • Moderators, Motoring & Transport Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 7,721 Mod ✭✭✭✭liamog


    Let's hope Hyundai don't stick with the 15,000km servicing interval on the Ioniq 5.


  • Registered Users Posts: 822 ✭✭✭Round Cable

    The Ioniq 5 uses the electric motor to upgrade the voltage from 400V chargers to 800V to charge the battery. If it's a 800V charger then it goes straight to the battery.

    Yeah but you lose the advantage of the higher power an 800v charger offers. For example an Ionity charger will supply 350kW at 800V but 175kW at 400V

    I'm very excited for this car, if I didn't have my heart set on the ID.4 then I'd be seriously considering this one

    A couple of the things which I'm looking forward to

    - 800V charging, faster charging and also potentially less battery heating issues
    - Efficiency, the Kona, Ioniq and E-Niro are some of the most efficient EVs around, so Hyundai know how to make an efficient car
    - Big battery, should be good for 400km range
    - V2H/V2L, having a socket with a decent power output is really handy for camping, charging a laptop on the go or if there's a power outage

    Some things which I'm a bit of a wait and see mode about are

    - Tech, I think Hyundai tend to play it safe with the technology in their cars so I'm not expecting cutting edge
    - Boot space, I feel the Kona in particular has a rubbish boot for the size of the car, hopefully this car has a decent bit of room
    - Battery heating, Hyundai have had issues with cold battery charging in the past where the battery heater doesn't switch on when it probably should

    I think this is gonna be a great car overall, maybe I'll try and convince the missus to get one :)

    I'd say availability is going to be a major issue, particularly in 2021. If Austria got 150 first editions then I'd say Ireland will get more like 15 for this year. The E-Niro has so much demand that the prices keep going up rather than down.

    So I imagine only a lucky few we'll be able to get one this year

    It just possibly might be on my list 2nd hand for 2023 or 2024, I'll wait and see how the charging works out, long time I'd say before we have 350 Kw chargers. One thing for sure, unless there is a major change to infrastructure and charging times I won't be changing any time soon.

    I did read somewhere where it starts at 50K USD which will be 55K Euro's here after VAT, whatever VRT extra and of course any import duty. Could see it cost a lot here.


  • Registered Users Posts: 64,548 ✭✭✭✭unkel


    That looks like a formidable candidate, would tick a lot of boxes for a lot of people. I fear €40k in Ireland is very optimistic though, that's barely more than a Kona. I expect it to be at least €45k, probably more like €50k. Which is fair enough for what you get. Tucson starts at €33k for comparison.

    @cruisey1987 - agree with most of your post, but:
    - Tech, I think Hyundai tend to play it safe with the technology in their cars so I'm not expecting cutting edge

    Really? What technology? As an example, the original 2016 Ioniq had a very well working autonomous driving level 2 system (ACC / LKAS / AEB) that was not a million miles off Tesla Autopilot. Standard on all cars, including the one I bought for €25k on the road. The vast majority of cars for sale for 2, 3 even 4 times that money did not have this (as standard) at the time.
    - Battery heating, Hyundai have had issues with cold battery charging in the past where the battery heater doesn't switch on when it probably should

    In owning an Ioniq for 3 years, I have never noticed any issues. I didn't even notice it fast charging any slower in cold weather (or hot weather)

    The cold charging issues were after the ioniq28. The Kona/niro/soul and the new (ugh) ioniq38 all coldgate awfully. They changed chemistry.

    My concerns would more be around the connectivity and infotainment side of things. As I recall, the E-Niro only just got the ability to check charge and preheat remotely, something the Leaf could do since 2012.

    And the interface is good but it's not exactly what you'd call cutting edge

    But certainly as you mentioned the assistance systems are excellent for cars in that price bracket

    I just remember watching Bjorn testing the E-Niro in winter and the battery heater didn't seem to switch on even when it was selected. The Ioniq38 he was testing also cold gated pretty badly

    That's exactly how to do it - let the missus have the battery car & the boss then gets a proper, old school, petrol V8 :D.

    Is that €50k after the €10k taxpayer subsidy?
    That would make it a €60k Hyundai :eek:.

    If it's comparable to the Tuscon at €33k, charging an extra €27k would be shocking :pac:.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,818 ✭✭✭Silent Running


    I haven't even taken delivery of my ID.3 yet and this is turning my head for my next car. :D

    Maybe a January 2023 purchase, depending what's on offer then.

    The big problem is that, historically, Hyundai Ireland have had a very bad habit of stripping a lot of the goodies out of their cars for the Irish market. That would turn me off completely!

    No. That makes it a €50k Hyundai ;)

    As long as we are keeping the current subsidies though of course. They should really have been phased out already by now as they go straight into the manufacturers pockets. Hopefully with more competition this year, the government will decide to remove them (well, at least the €5k grant) and use that tax payers money in a more cost effective way. I'd say free motor tax for EVs will work wonders. Chape tax is a major bragging point in Ireland. I remember years ago a BMW520 from 2008 was worth €20k and the exact same model from 2007 was worth just €10k - no chape tax on that one :p

    I thought that was the advantage of this system that Hyundai were claiming. A max of 232kW charging from an 800V charger straight into the battery. While it can also take full power from a 400V charger, by using the electric motor as a DC step-up converter (while reducing the amps). So it should be able to take the full 150kW from a 400V charger.

    It's an advantage compared to the Taycan approach where the car had a separate 400V DC charging system. There will be a rating on the DC DC convertor and some losses. I'd hope that it was capable of at least 100kW with a 400V input, but time will tell.

    Not exactly, the limitation is on how much current the charger can supply. A 150kW charger at 400V will supply 375A of current. If the car converts this to 800V then the current will drop by 50%, so it's still 150kW. The charger can't supply additional current because that's all it's rated for

    In terms of converting the 400V to 800V, they actually have to do that anyway. You charge a battery by connecting it to a higher voltage source, so you need 800V to charge an 800V battery.

    Connecting directly to a 400V source would cause the battery to discharge. It's a bit like water pressure, you can't put water into a high pressure pipe from an lower pressure one

    Using the motor to do the conversion is smart, it reuses existing components and saves cost and weight

    agree about the second part


    However, did you see Bjorn's video about the truck EV connected to a 150kW post that drew 250+ kW over a long period of time? That had an 800v system

    The charger was also 800V even though it wasn't labeled as such, in theory it can supply 300kW.

    The reason they called it a 150kW charger is because 2 plugs share the same charger, if another car plugs into the next outlet then it'll supply 150kW to each plug

  • Registered Users Posts: 21,224 ✭✭✭✭ELM327


    So it's an amperage limit to 150KW that can output the same amount of amps but double the volts and give 300kW depending on load.
    The reason I mention it is that it's possible that others are set up the same.

    Yeah I think Bjorn did a video on this and he noticed a few chargers were rated for 800V even though they didn't advertise it.

    I think the problem is there's no way to be sure without looking at the spec sheet on the charger. A few manufacturers seem to offer the 800V as an upgrade, so it's up to the charging network as to whether they'll spend the money on it

    Ultimately, it's not really an 800v battery though, just a lot of single lithium cells, in series, at 4.2v each. Any supply voltage, AC or DC, from 1v to 10,000v, can conceivably be inverted/converted/transformed to get that 4.2v to each cell.

    Cabling/efficiency/cost would probably favour 800v going forward though - imagine the cable required to carry almost 1,000 amps (350kW @ 400v) from a DC charger :eek:.

    True, I could even see higher voltages for long range electric trucks. There's a reason the power grid operates at tens of thousands of volts

    I wonder if an 800V battery is better from a manufacturing view. I remember an article a while ago about choosing battery modules for boats and it said never to use modules over 200Ah because they were physically large and heavy enough that they'd basically get wrecked from the boat rocking

    An 800V EV battery needs more cells in series, but the cells can be smaller and probably easier to manufacture

    You keep saying that. Any link? :p

    Nobody is going to buy it at €60k. It will not be anywhere near that price (provided we will still have the same subsidies as today). You can quote me on that

    Interesting.

    https://cleantechnica.com/2020/12/22/1st-edition-hyundai-ioniq-5-now-open-for-reservation-450-km-and-80-charge-in-18-minutes/

    Entry versions will have 58 kWh usable capacity and 450 km WLTP

    Optional (later?) variants offer 72 kWh usable capacity and 550 km WLTP

    A dual motor version will be available with ~230 kW power and 5.1 seconds 0-100 km/h

    https://www.caranddriver.com/hyundai/ioniq-5

    This site Says 45 USD = 55 Euro's here probably more of course that's all estimated.

    I did see on another site 50 USD so who knows.
