Hyundai Ioniq 5

thats great information thank you very much!!!

With a price starting at €41,995 for the large 84kWh battery and 570km range. Is the updated IONIQ 5 from Hyundai one of the best "bang for buck" EVs available at the moment? Top trim is €48,995 and still gives you all the bits some others have removed 😉

Agreed, I have a generator (honda ei20i) feed with a changeover switch, I've had experience in the past of electronics being "fried" so you really need to be careful. 1st point is that I needed to do a neutral-earth bond at the generator plug to give me a proper 230v on live, and secondly have an earth rod. I've got the i5 v2l adaptor but as it's a car pushing live voltage I won't be connecting the i5 v2l to the house. It's fine for just running a kettle or some lights though with an extension cable (simple non electronic circuits). Caveat .. this is my own experience and not a how-to guide on earthing.

My car is at 45k km now and still a good bit of life in the tyres.

Maybe bring the car to a local tyre shop and have them have a look. The dealer may have been trying to up sell you early.

Ours has the 19" wheels and changed the rear tyres at about 50k, there was still good thread remaining; but Missus was noticing a bit of loss of grip on steep town hills. About 13k later there is still loads of thread on fronts.

I think about €380 from local tyre place for two fitted and balanced, same spec Michelins as originals.

I got them for €175 last September when I changed the 4 tires. M3 Van Center in Mulhuddard Dublin 15. Got over 70,000 on the tires. One failed the NCT so replaced them all.

Have you tried emailing this address?

Explain that you've purchased the car and you'll need to provide the registration and vin. They may ask for proof of purchase.

They are slow to reply but will come back to you.

Took about 2 weeks when I emailed them.

Have an IOniq 5 221, 88000 km on the clock

Service due and apperently the battery coolant is due to repalced which according to HY Dundrum will cost 750 + vat

If I elect not to have the coolant replaced, will it affect my battery warranty ??

which is

8-year high-voltage battery warranty.

Our high-performance high-voltage batteries are warranty protected for 8 years or 160,000 km, whichever comes first.

What exactly does the battery coolant do,

I always charge my batteries at home 3.3 kwh charger or in work 11 kwh charger, so they are never rapid charged

I assume battery overheating occurs when you rapid charge ?

I have not looked into getting the coolant replaced at a genenic EV service centre, instead of HY, but Im guessing this is a possibility , and if I do this is my warranty still intact ?

I'm guessing they're the dealer quoted prices for the tyres? Ignore them. Go to a specialist tyre shop and never, ever buy tyres from the car dealer. They'll rip you off and likely fit ditch finders. I won't even let the feckers change the wiper blades!

they quoted over 60 euro to do the cabin filter, but ill do that myself
