Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

If in doubt, replace the 12v battery.
The lower half of the battery will feel like less range than the upper half.
I think I actually posted a list of things about the ioniq only recently.
Ioniq ownership is pretty hassle free. I still have a glitch in mine where the scheduled charging blanks itself, but I've noticed, it only blanks itself if I look at it (to change it perhaps). It's like Schrödinger's quantum cat. The schedule is both set and unset, but looking at the settings might alter the value of the setting.
Doesn't bother me really. I know once it's set it works, and if I'm editing it in editing it anyways so it's just a little extra few taps.
From the ioniq thread 3 weeks ago.Black_Knight wrote: »208km is fine. All depends what type driving you're doing, but for me, half the time i'm driving like I stole it (hills involved), and getting around 15.5kWh/100km, and an indicated range of 190km with the heating on auto these cold mornings. It was up around 230km or more during the summer, while I was being a bit more gentle with it.
Tips? Not much.
Style
You can wrap the front and rear bumper if you don't like the look. Under €200 I think when I did it (I tinted windows too).
Servicing
Shop around for servicing when the time comes. Some dealers can have quite inflated prices for very little work involved.
Brakes seem to wear very lightly, since most the braking is done by regen.
If your charge port stops locking the cable in place (and thus not charging) get onto Hyundai. You'll likely need a "modified charge port actuator" to replace your current one. There was an official recall which many have had done, but it didn't work and I and others have had to get this modified part to replace it.
Storage
The boot floor can come out if you need some extra storage.
There's no unofficial frunk as far as I know.
Charging
Fast charging will slow down to around 25kW at 80%, so it's mostly a waste of time charging after than unless you need it.
Fast charging at high powered charge stations (ionity or the few high powered ESB ones) will charge at somewhere between 62-69kW up to 80%. Worth about 6 minutes compared to the ESB 50kW units when charging from very low %.
Fast charging will stop the session at 94%.
There's a button at your right knee which overrides the scheduled AC charging settings. Very useful if you're topping up during the day (I didn't know about it for months)
Aside from that, do the maths on switching to a night rate. It's most likely worth your while switching, even with low mileage.0 -

Don't mix up the go pedal and the stop pedal
Your left leg isn't needed, stop trying to press the clutch
That bang you heard was something rolling around in the boot
Always P when you're stopped
Regen is good
Charge the car when the battery is low, don't charge above 80% unless you need it
The range anxiety will fade after a few weeks

No need for that. Sounds like your car is your first automatic?

It is, manual Auris before the Leaf, I was never a fan of sitting on the brake. It does my head in when someone keeps creeping forward at lights. Often if I'm beside them I'll floor it from standing just to show them they aren't going any faster by creeping
The first time the missus took the Leaf for a spin she nearly ploughed into a tree because she forgot the car creeps when you release the brake (took over a year to get her to drive it a second time)

Or just pull the handbrake.. or auto hold..
I don't even put the niro in P, I just turn it off. Although I don't deal with much traffic.0 -

Nah, never P
You'll get used to it. With one pedal driving that some EVs have these days you don't even need to touch the brake pedal, just lift off the accelerator. And after the car has come to a stop and eventually the light turns green, just stamp down your foot again :cool:My ads on adverts.ie

What is it? All the low end cheap Leafs that I posted in the bargain thread recently have sold. They were €3.5-4.5k cars though
I'll be in the market for one of these or a battery owned Fluence in a while though, but not until next summer
2016 Leaf 24 Acenta, 12/12 bars, good condition inside & out, just under 59,000km on the clock
Includes granny lead, Type2-Type1 charging cable and a 7kW EO Mini wall charger
I'm hoping for €9.9k, so not exactly bargain basement. I might post it on Facebook where it'll be considered a bargain "The internet never fails to misremember" - Sebastian Ruiz, aka Frost

Very ambitious, in that price range you will be competing with 30kWh Leafs. I'd forget about DD and adverts and go straight to Facebook alright. Best of luck My ads on adverts.ie

Well part of the reason I picked a number that high is because you tend to get people ringing up and just throwing out a lower amount. Might as well let them argue me down to a number I'll still be happy with "The internet never fails to misremember" - Sebastian Ruiz, aka Frost

Would you consider selling the EO Mini separately?0 -

DrPhilG likes belting up motorways (as do I). I think he got no more than 80km out of his Leaf in winter My ads on adverts.ie

Anyone got a home charge point to sell?I think Gumbo has a basic one for sale? You could PM him
Cheers but I sold all mine.
Now I’m on the hunt to buy another for the parents
Here’s the thing, they have gone up in value over recent years. I paid €200 for my ABL h it and sold for €300 3 years later. I paid €225 for the bmw wallbox and sold for just under €300 this year too.
There’s a good 32a (7kw) one being sold by evonestop in the Uk for £229 plus £15 postage and I’m gona get that for the parents. It works out cheaper that what people are now looking for chargers online and with a warranty.
