Hyundai Ioniq 28kWh

I don’t get you here. If you reverse in, is it not relatively easy.

No, the cable won't reach the charge port on the passenger side. I've been a victim of this many times in the Ioniq. The cable is just too short.

If the leaf wasn't there I presume there would be no problem reversing in.


In Waterford at Ballybrickan there is a type 2 with similar angled parking; easy to drive in but I had to reverse in which could be a problem, as it's in the middle of a sort of large roundabout which is normally very busy with traffic.

That’s a really awkward spot. It’s on a bend on a one way street, but with two side roads in close proximity too. A lot of work to get the Ioniq in backwards against the angle!

You can just barely make the charge point going in forward on the right bay, but you really need someone with you to get out and watch in front. With the standard type 2 cable there needs to be about an inch between you and the kerb which is just at a nice height to damage your front skirt.
They certainly didn't make it easy..:)

I think the GOM is limited to always show under 300km. It'll still show 290km or 294km once underway as the SOC drops so could show 294km remaining at 96% but won't apparently, then show 300km+ when fully charged.

Hyundai never bargained on Mrs. Kramer's hypermiling skills & quiet roads due to the virus .

I am married to a very skillful lady as well:D
She claims 10kWh/100km is possible with her rural driving at the moment.
Just to agree with her (Beat her) I managed an indicated 9.1kWh on a rural run this morning over 49km, max speed limit 80kmh. I did try a little bit....:)

What's the secret of the high GOM figures Kramer?
I presume the figure reflects your past driving style.


Ours is slowly creeping up, showed 248km this morning full. In the cooler weather was around 220km. Haven't filled it much since getting car, 80% has been doing us nicely.
While some days we get great economy, other days not so great, but rarely more than 13kWh/100km. Our son is also now driving the car under supervision but he only believes in Sport mode and the accelerator pedal is an on/off switch!

That shows you have 26.97kWh of usable energy, so ~1kWh of deg from new.

No it doesn't.

That 9.3 consumption figure was after a reset not long before charging it. It is not a historical figure.

I could reset it, coast down a hill for a few kms & it'd show 6kWh/100km. Wouldn't mean I've a 50kWh battery though .

Oh the GOM and efficiency meter are not related.
I finally charged my car to 100% the other night. GOM showed 226km (highest i've ever seen it on mine) yet my efficiency meter said 14.1kW/100km. Do I have a 31.8kWh battery? :P

Oh. I thought they were related like in other cars.


Never mind, carry on in that case

Does anyone have personal experience of a Hyundai garage in the South East that actually knows what they’re talking about when it comes to servicing an Ioniq?
I had a very poor experience last year - dealer couldn’t even do updates for firmware or maps. Promised they’d get back to me about it & never did. I really don’t want to line their pockets again this year (181 Ioniq).

I've found Lyng's in KK to be pretty good. They were certainly capable of updating the firmware and maps, although I had to be quite clear that that was what I wanted. It doesn't come naturally to a lot of people in the legacy car industry, and let's face it, most Hyundai garages just want to get you into a daysul Tucson.

I had my Ioniq serviced in Boland's of Wexford. Would not recommend. They couldn't update the software, I just did it myself after the service. My dash cam was running throughout. The most technical thing they did was top off the washer fluid.

My wife wasted half a day there last week. When we bought car there in Spring the salesman Brian was very helpful and knew his stuff fairly well. Arranged with him for the few warranty bits and updates to be done when we were able to get to garage again. (We live about 40km away)

Booked in last week (Unfortunately Brian no longer there). Main thing was to fit emergency release in left of boot for fuel door (No sign of it). Not cable release which is there under boot floor as should be.
They tried to tell my wife that this door release was there and eventually on her request they phoned me. Had already explained all this clearly to them previously.

Eventually they admitted we were correct and said they would fit one but would have to take photos and get one from Hyundai. What a waste of time. Also they said that our updates were the latest (2018). When we said others had 2019 updates they said again they would have to check with Hyundai.
At least they sorted a small rattle from wheel which was just a stone.

Out of interest did you ring a few Hyundai dealers for a quote?

Personally I never paid the Hyundai dealer a cent for servicing, I just asked them nicely to do it for free

But I guess we are lucky here in Dublin too with a handful of dealers in the area, all independent of each other

Ioniq electric needs a service every 15k km or 1 year, which ever comes first. Odd services (first service, third service, etc.) are just an inspection and even services (second service, fourth service, etc.) are inspection + brake fluid + cabin filter
