Well wear, relgoog!

Any pics? Is Iron Grey the new name for Aurora Silver or is it a new colour altogether?

Thanks unkel.

It is a dark grey metallic colour. I'd upload pics, but I can't post any urls or images yet

You have a light foot

This morning at 8AM it was only just above freezing and mine showed 218km range (probably based on the warmer weather in the previous few days). Have the car 2 years this week, just gone through 30k km, and there is zero sign of any battery degradation as far as I can tell (haven't hooked it up to to any diagnostic software though)

You must have been bored sh1tless to get that sort of efficiency!

Anyone have any issues with scheduled charging since the clocks changed?

Charging always kicked in straight away at 11pm or so before but since the change I've had to go out and unlock the zappi to get it to kick in.

You don't want charging to start until after midnight. Does it fail to start then?

I have the night rate time set to start at 12:10am so I would expect it to kick in then, last night it hadn't kicked in by 12:30am. As soon as I unlocked the zappi it started charging. Same thing happened sunday night.

Before it used to kick in pretty much straight away when it hit night rate hours.

That sounds charger related not car related.
Unless you've set the car to charge at 1210 PM instead of 1210am (easy mistake, I've done it!!)

it's the car's scheduling I'm using.

I would turn off scheduling until you have the problem solved. Try taking a photo of the set up screen. There was a bug in the ioniq cars firmware that made it forget timer settings, so also take a photo of firmware version on cars screen.

I prefer to use the Zappi as this way if at a public slow charger I won't have to remember to disable the cars charge timer. It also eliminates the ioniq timer bug, but I do have newer firmware in car now.

The main upside to using the cars timer (depart timer) is that it should charge to 100% just as you depart meaning the battery may be warmer hence longer range rather than charging from say midnight to 3am and then battery cooling down before departure.

Had my first really bad range anxiety yestery coming home from work. I only have 15min journey to and from work so don't charge every night.

Got into car yesterday to go to work at i had 45km of range no problem round trip from work is only 32km. On the way home about 10k form house turtle kicked in. Put on maps to see how far exactly i was from home. 7.5km to home 7km of range. Country road so i crawled at 35-40km and free wheeled where possible. Range stayed just below distance whole way until u think around 4.7km from home range was at 5km then the range went off and just had 3 line. Now i was really panicking. Kept crawling towards home praying to every god there is to let me get in the gate. 800m from home and car would only let me go at 20km/h. When it kicked in i didn't know if i was dying or what was going on. Somehow i made it to home and plugged her in. Totally my own fault for not charging but definitely the warm weather had range higher yesterday morning and it was then affected by the wind, sleet and cold yesterday leaving me very close to being stranded. Scary stuff.

If for instance i did die 800m from home how can i get it to a charge point? Can they be towed?

Long story but much of the "efficient" driving was necessitated by
1. the dearth of rapid chargers on the route(s),
2. as@holes (locals!) hogging some rapid chargers,
3. as@holes (LOCALS!) abandoning fully charged cars at rapid chargers,
4. a brand new triple head rapid charger not working,
5. a plethora of sheep (nearly as bad as locals!) on rural roads, good EV conditions - dry & calm etc., low average speeds, again, dictated by the roads themselves.

Had no choice but to drive efficiently, but I reckon I lost only 10 or 15% more time than I would have in our 6 cyl auto petrol, overall, charging time aside.

Not really, it wasn't motorway mile munching. I've had it averaging over 22kWh/100km on a trip to & from Belfast. At that, I even had to slow down to ensure I'd make the next rapid charger.

Thing I've taken from that, almost 2k km in 4 or 5 days in the Ioniq:

LOCALS!
LOCALS!
LOCALS!
LOCALS!
LOCALS!

M1 can be nice and quiet !

M7 too, at the right time, especially after the M8 traffic peels off.



A white Leaf, showing no charging lights, pulling 0kWs, presumably fully charged, sitting connected to the rapid charger, long before I managed to reverse in to connect with CCS. It was still there after I left. Ecars app showed the charger free long before I arrived so it could have been there for quite some time.
Local reg.

Luckily someone moved from the space to the right & I managed to squeeze in across two spaces for the 15 minutes charge I needed.

Think I'll lose the head if I post in the hogging thread :D.

Why white out the reg, public place!

GDPR!!!



Usually wouldn't block it out but there's a reason I have this time :P.

I've posted before, & I'll post again, but on this occasion, they get a pass .

Is there electric car charger in Ikea Dublin?

Nope. At least not yet. We live in hope!

When I was last there I asked why they are the only Ikea in Ireland or the UK without a charger (dunno if that's true or not :P). The lady on the customer service desk made a few phone calls and couldn't come up with an answer. She did say that one guy she phoned will bring the matter higher.

Maybe if all EV drivers visiting did the same they would start to take it seriously.
