Got them fitted by Electric Autos, figured I'd support an EV business, was 23 a corner including disposal.

23... That’s quite low for a tire. Unless you put a wheel barrow ones

that was just a rumour around 2017/18 which was never confirmed or denied by Hyundai. so far there is no planned upgrade

It was made available in the US but surprisingly low uptake. We will see. The space for update is in the boot.

Posted a few pages back,

Continental AllSeason Contacts, they were €88 each from EireTyre. Then ElectricAutos to fit, balance etc and dispose of the old ones for €23 each.

Mainly picked them for performance reasons on wet roads and to cover for a couple of weeks of snowy weather.

And you posted test results too, which were pretty impressive. I'll most likely go for them too. I'll get my local place to quote me. I only need 2 though, I wonder is it a bad idea to have 2 summers and 2 all seasons?

It wouldn't be ideal but you would be aware they are there.

New tyres on the rear as they say....

Fiery mutant · 08-12-2018 6:37pm

I need 2 new on the rear now as well, just under the 80,000km mark, so remarkable use out of the initial pair that came on it. Changed the front ones a few months ago.

Surely the fronts were the second pair?

Well the pair that’s on it now are the second pair. Think I posted about it at the time. Be going in for a service after Christmas so probably get them all done then.

Yes, is the answer to that!

I guess 2 winter and 2 all-season isnt quite as bad as two winter and 2 summer but I'd imagine the theory is the same... dont mix.

Yes, the car in your link is the Premium SE. That spec isn’t available on the Ioniqs sold in Ireland, but am guessing that you’re interested in buying in the UK.
I have one, and am very happy with it.

Not sure about that! I bought mine from an Irish Hyundai dealer who had imported it from the UK.

He has the winters on the front (driven wheels)*, which is probably a lot worse than the other way around. But yeah, grip imbalance is probably not a great idea. I'll check how far all tyres are gone before I make a decision...

*yuk a FWD BMW

but that's the stuff for another thread

Hi All,

Appreciate some feedback on the likely experience here.

My ICE is nearing end of life. I have been trying to hold out for some better range electric vehicles but my hand may be forced soon.

I really like the Ioniq but realise it may not be suitable for my commute. Would love to hear what the likely experience would be.

115km each way, consisting of :

80km motorway speed no traffic, 35km 60-80kmph or often bumper to bumper. Same again on way home in the evening.

Awkward possibility of a granny charger at work. 4 X public chargers short drive away.

In people's experience what would you expect my charging needs to be? Would it be too optimistic to rely on the nearby public chargers? Would a lunch time charge on these get me home? 22kw chargers.

TIA

OK...
My issue is that i'm leasing a business van under contract for couple of years and i can change the van to any other car i like but ...it has to be supplied in Ireland. So, you are saying that if i approach an Irish dealer he can "import" that car for me then my leasing company can "buy it " of them !?

Loads of Irish garages are importing UK cars.

They then vrt them usually when sold.

Not sure about others here but myself without a personal / private charger at home will not have "survived" the presence of my wife today.
Until we got the home charger approved and installed,i had to freeze in the car,almost every night, at every possible public chargers around my home.

I could say that without a home charger you are leaving openly exposed to elements,out of your control and possible,making the whole EV experience a cold offline chase chargers challenge ...

I was probably baking in a home charger into the equation. The work charger / mid commute is the main problem.

You need a longer range EV like Kona EV or eNiro that can do the return trip without a stop. You're looking at €38k there though!

or
Get work to install a proper charge point for you and then you could buy an Ioniq, Leaf (30 or 40kWh) or Zoe or eGolf.
or
Stick with ICE

Dont buy an EV to then rely on public chargers. Bad idea.

You won't be able to do that in Ioniq in winter. Or in any other EV either, except the Teslas and the Kona 64kWh (and the upcoming eNiro 64kWh)

I'd strongly advice against having to rely on public charging on a daily basis, unless there is an Ionity charger on your route (these don't exist yet, planning permission is granted for the first one)

Can your employer not install a charger? Even pay for it yourself? Your fuel savings will be enormous with a commute like that.

If you can granny charge during the day while in work, then an ioniq will be perfect.
Forget about relying on public charge points, it will get tired and annoying real quick and they will be charging for the use by next year.

Any forecasts of how many hours granny charging I would need?
