#33 Winter test of Hyundai Ioniq part 1

[@osdias]

I love these real world trips. They are more honest and in depth reviews than regular auto-shows.

[@MildTonic]

Because of this video I bought electric Ioniq.

[@danieslov]

[@danieslov]

Maeguk I Really love it. It’s a wonderful car. I commute about 80 km/day and charge it for free at my work. The range is up to 250 km in summertime and about 170-180 in wintertime, maybe less according to temperature. Thanks to TeslaBjorn and his thoroughly reallife-tests i got this car. I strongly recommend it

Love that you also test other EV's!

[@bram315]

finally a real-world test! i was waiting for a realistic review. Thanks!

[@coastalcrown8421]

I bought the Ioniq because of this! Really helpful:)

[@nemanjareljic]

"As an Asian I must say, size does matter". Lol You crazy man! :-D

[@jurofox]

i watched this video like 5 times know and it is still one of my most favorite...

[@karla6999]

I did consider to get an IONIQ electric 3 years ago partly because of your reports and did not regret it. Even if it‘s not a perfect car, especially if it comes to snowcovered mountain roads for it‘s light front. I enjoy driving it every day. I really thank you for your videos, not just the ones about Ioniq.

[@Torbjoern76]

Thank you! That is your christmas-present to us all. Merry Christmas. Have a nice journey to Thailand with Ammery. I really was curious about that test. 👍

[@robertpopek6063]

Thanks for your great videos on electric cars! You inspired me to buy an Ioniq 28 kW, though it's 2021. The car is very efficient and nice to drive. The last summer I kept the consumption around 100 Wh/km ( in Sweden we got plenty of 80 km/h highways), with a range around 230-250 km. Now in winter however the range has dropped dramatically. This week, with temperature around -10°C, the range is between 130 km ( with the heater on and 21°C in the cabin) and 190 km ( without heater on, though that gets unbearable cold). Still, the car gets the job done taking me to work and back home, a trip of 100 km in total.

[@ghostindamachine]

Thank you very much for making these videos. They really show real life usage of EVs .

[@georgehanson5406]

Hi Bjorn , enjoyed the video . I live in London , and had my Ioniq a week now . I have officially achieved with a mixture of motorway , A & B roads and City driving 135 miles / 217 km with approximately 15% of charge remaining in each instance . the recharge time is approximately 3.5 to 4 hours from a 7.2 KW home charger . This car is absolutely brilliant and will not disappoint . I thoroughly recommend any other interested parties to test drive and see for yourself . Keep up the blogs

[@Trades46]

The inefficient packaging is because of space for gas engine for the other Ioniq models. Still with this pricing is nice & I like how Hyundai is giving buyers a choice of Hybrid, Plug in & EV. I can't wait to test one in North America.

[@leaflover9625]

Trades46 Are these coming to the U.S?

[@pinkyb27983]

I was just looking at the Hyundai US website and they say it is coming this winter. Will be interesting to see!

[@RubenKelevra]

Yeah, but they could easily pack it more and add a plastic box in the free space where you can store stuff like cables or more wiper fluid :)

[@JohnDoe-vx3z]

How is the packaging inefficient ? It has more cargo space than a model S with folded rear seats.

[@therealctoo4183]

They're not "giving buyers a choice." They're doing what they can to slow walk the adoption of EVs so they keep making profits off of maintenance. By giving 3 options they can trick lots of buyers into thinking that the EV is more expensive based on the sticker price. Many buyers won't factor in the higher cost of gas and maintenance on ICE vehicles.

[@MountainApedog]

Best car for it's price range. With upgraded battery i would prefer this over the Tesla model 3.

[@SylverWWA]

I just LOVE how excited you are about the Ioniq, Bjorn :) Honestly, it IS a pretty nifty car and if I had to buy a vehicle now, my instant choice would be an Ioniq... and then I would put a sticker on it that says: "I want to be a Model X when I grow up." :D

[@real_Sandman]

Thank you so much for this review, I was desperately waiting for something like this! The Ioniq might be my next car, and my first EV. I´m looking forward to part 2, keep filming Bjorn!

[@zaneverovati]

A bit late to the party, but I had to write a comment. Thank You very much for the video. I was at a car dealer today and tested Ioniq Electric with a 1000km on the odometer. As I've driven only sluggish diesels last 4 years, driving in eco mode sure gave it that diesel engine whiplash effect. Put it into sport mode and the car jumps like someone hit it with a whip! I think I'm gonna go and pick it up tomorrow. Mostly thanks to Your real life review of the car. I mean, You show us mortals how it works to travel with an electric car. You demistify the entire concept and it brings the owning of an electric car so much closer and more "normal". Thank You once again.

[@jurofox]

omg, you reviewing a ioniq electric is like a dream come true!!

[@GenericGerman]

The "wasted space" is maintainance area. I like it! :)

[@KeskitaloS]

That car is awesome! I have to say about that feature which moves driver seat back and forward when you open and close driver door. Old models of Mercedes and BMW has it also as optional equipmet and it's called Easy Entry. They move steering wheel up and forward.

[@TeslaCamper92]

brilliant video, informative and entertaining, love it :) i think u could surely reach 200km of range with this car in summer conditions

[@bjornnyland]

Several Norwegians with Ioniq have done 200 km in winter. They drive slower than me and probably had better weather conditions. This test was more or less worst case. In summer, 250-300 km can be done easily.

[@TeslaCamper92]

wow, only imagine a 60 or 80 kw battery pack on this car

[@khan-hg6em]

yes a 60kw on this will put other EVs on fire lol, but as ioniq is on budget i guess so they put a smaller battery in it, price will increase if its a 60kw pack, but it shall surely improve with time as batteries are getting cheaper, 1 v important thing the car has addressed is the efficiency.which is important for evs too, as now most are eyeing on range ,some years later then efficiency will be addressed so they made it efficient right from day 1,, well done ioniq/.

[@khan-hg6em]

It must be tested in the summers too, this car will surely give a real tough time to its competitors esp leaf n others.

[@bjornnyland]

Jelle Teubner kW = power kWh = energy/capacity

[@rm97ag]

Your videos are excellent. Someone at work just took delivery of an Ioniq. It will almost certainly be my next car. Keep up the great work.

[@monsterchannel24]

Große Bratwurst mit Brot... Man, you are too cool! Love your videos! :D Greetings from Northern Germany

[@muhammadivan1522]

instablaster

[@kensherwood4866]

Loving the videos, mix of information, demonstration of the features and practical real world use. I must say I'm impressed by the Ioniq and would expect that the resources of Hyundai will ensure that it is well sorted for everyday use and will be developed in the future to be even more capable. Look forward to following your future adventures. Cheers from the UK

[@hugorhodano8428]

Thanks a lot for the video Bjorn. I think the lack of usage of motor trunk is because Ioniq is a platform for 3 versions: electric, hybrid and plug-in hybrid. So you have more space in electric version, because the car don't need so much space for stuffs like motor cooler, starter, pumps for cooling water etc.

[@The8BitGuy]

Sad part is.. if the streets looked all icy like that here in Texas, I wouldn't even drive 2 miles down the road, much less take a cross-country trip.

[@Timpanogos5]

The 8-Bit Guy Yeah the 8 bit guy watches Bjorn!

[@thespector8587]

The 8-Bit Guy why not? I'm curious.

[@Timpanogos5]

TheSpector because the weather is always so hot and nobody is used to snow!

[@Joiedevivredesilives]

Sam Quinn at least the snow would melt in that heat😀

[@digfir7543]

The 8-Bit

[@FFVoyager]

Fabulous review of a fabulous car. I can't wait for the 200 mile/320km version 'by 2018' as Hyundai have already said. I think that will be my car.

[@airliners88]

the reason why the layout under the hood looks like that is, it shares platforms with hybrid version of ioniq, which makes sense but there's still need to be redesigned for more practical space.

[@logipilot]

Transporting stuff during test drive - I like that

[@fr.jamesjohnson1567]

Bjørn, you are nuts!!! Love your vids, man! Informative, entertaining, and funny as all get out!

[@jeales895]

This video changed my opinion on the Ioniq I knew it was super efficient But I don't know how good the interior and the touchscreen was, really nice car to own and drive It should have a bigger battery, but its efficiency makes up for it

[@Chilukar]

2:30 my first charge will be.... I don't know where yet. So much for "range anxiety". Looks like once you are used to EV's you get blasè about it all. Can't wait to get one.

[@torbjornbuttler7160]

Hi Björn just wanted to say a million thanks for you videos where you test other EVs than Tesla and in particular winter tests. I have watched all of them several times, first for information but later also as I enjoyed them so much. This one in particular finally made me decide to swap my Volvo XC70 for a Ioniq Electric about a week ago. So far I am very happy with the car, and as you point out it is very efficient. I have a consumption of about 12.5 kWh/100km although about 2/3 of my daily 135km driving is on motorway at 110 km/h, amazing. Please keep testing new EVs if possible! Best regards from your friends in Sweden!

[@dava00007]

You sold me on the ioniq, I'm receiving mine in a couple of days... I hope it works as well as you say it is!

[@bittewarten3783]

The charging speed and general performance to money ratio of this car is just amazing

[@khan-hg6em]

bjorn u r the best,, i love ioniq the only concern i had of its range was in winters but in this u have addressed that to the best also.. please review all electric cars as many are there now,, ioniq is a v good effort and it would surely market leaders in this category of cars, as u pointed out that space wasnt used much wisely in the under bonnet area, i guess they went in a general design way as all 3 variants on ioniq have same design, so a boot etc couldnt be made esp for electric version, still i praise and appreciate ioniq electric, this would be the car ill surely buy, do tell us if u have a referral etc on this lol ever,, i totally trust ur reviews, u do real tests,, appreciate ur work alot,, would love to meet u one day soon if possible,,

[@bjornnyland]

People in Norway have been reporting doing 200 km in winter. But their right foot is not as heavy as mine :P

[@MrKroolboy]

So time of Bjørns adventure road trips is back! Nice concept of doing road trips with other EVs. Please keep up filming this kind of content! Tank you!

[@dejangjurin4608]

Hello Bjørn. I really like your videos. They are very good with a lot of interesting details and fun to watch. I must say that THX to this video I ordered my HYUNDAI IONIQ and I will get it these days. It's already waiting me at the Hyundai dealer. I hope I receive it tommorow, just some little paperwork and I am GOOD TO GO! :)

[@bujin1977]

The Ioniq is currently topping the list of my next choice of car. I'm stuck with an ICE car for the next 20 months but at the very least, my next will be a PHEV. Depends on what the local charging capabilities are like in 20 months time as to whether I go for the PHEV or the full EV version. But in 20 months time, there will hopefully be even better EVs on the road to choose from!

[@p_eople6789]

Any updates?

[@toddflach7725]

Brilliant video, Brjørn! Very enjoyable and I have to agree this EV is really best value for the price for 2017.

[@Chrisb8s]

I think the use of space up front is due to the phev model. They need to stick a dinojuice motor in there too

[@thespector8587]

Chris Bates but still, with some adaptors they could have just pushed everything to the side to make atleast a little bit of space for charging cables.

[@Chrisb8s]

TheSpector that is true, but it is really the only car that comes in 3 engine configs.

[@YaoiMastah]

I'm just watching this video to learn more about the car I'm (finally) picking up next week.

[@bjornnyland]

YaoiMastah Awesome!

[@monsterchannel24]

What do you think about the LED headlights compared to your Tesla and the Golf you tested?

[@HorizonimagingCoUkPhotography]

Great review, really good to see details of all the features of this 'mini Tesla'. I currently have a 24kWh Leaf which I will be returning in June this year (after the 2 year PCP expires), and I have my sights firmly fixed on the Ioniq Electric. I test drove one a few months ago and was blown away by how many features the car has compared to the Leaf! I think there will be many Leaf -> Ioniq converts this year before Nissan release their facelifted Leaf later this year / in 2018 ...

[@KalleKilponen]

Looking at the door handle it does seem to have keyless access, but it's the older type where you have to push the little black button on the door handle to unlock.

[@tongsli]

I wouldn't have considered a Hyundai before but I will after watching your videos

[@sastianp]

There's one thing that I think would be beneficial to add to your videos: a summary of how many stops you did for charging, time spent at each spot, total time spent on charging compared to total driving time and comparison to ICE in terms of time, i.e. how much more time consuming is to drive an EV. Other than that I really enjoy your videos, they are very comprehensive and to the point. Good work 👍

[@strangepecos04]

Boy! This guy sure has a lot of cameras to leave behind when he drives away. 🤣

[@sandancer5382]

Love the Classic Ioniq series

[@13partnership]

Your German speaking is very good, Prof. Nydal. "Achtung, schnell, Elektroauto from Korea..." Says everything. Well said! Well done!

[@grevenski]

Hey Bjørn thanks for the good review. Do you know if hyundai plans to put a trailer hook/towbar on the car? I DK it is aprox. 50% of the car park that has a trailer hook and it is to me unbelievable why the electric car manufactures doesn't support this!?

[@svesom]

I Love your German Words in your Videos ;) It makes me grin;-) Why do you do that? Did you lived a Time in Germany? Or why is that? Nice that you test another EV Cars, like Tesla.. I now drive a Tesla 3 Weeks and it ist great! I never had so much fun with a car! In the 80s I build the first E Cars in a German School. And from this time I always looked for a Car that is Fully Electric and Fulfill my Needs. A car that can transport my Paraglider, now my Hangglider and took me to the Places, where i can fly. Now I reached my Goal and I'm so happy with that! I Think I saw almost every Video from you! Now I will start to make Videos, from my Trips with Tesla to Hanggliding Spots! You will see! The Ionic could be a car that can carry my Hangglider to this Places, so I was Intrested to see your Video..

[@petercarlsen9890]

Just bought one partly based on your recommendation.. Got to say it's an amazing car..

[@bjornnyland]

Awesome! Good choice :)

[@petercarlsen9890]

You should get a kickback from Hyundai, think you have convinced quite a few danes to get it ;-)

[@bjornnyland]

I'd love to have a Hyundai Ioniq as a second car ;)

[@ErikBiskopst]

I decided to buy the Ioniq instead of Nissan Leaf after watching your vidoes, and I love it. Now winter is coming. Which winter tires can you recommend for the Ioniq?

[@high1voltage1rules]

awesome video mate. thank you for sharing. very detailed video of the hybrid. cant wait to pick mine up in 3 days ;-) *****THUMBS UP*****

[@SvenSchmolke]

Hello Björn, Have you ever driven a Kia Soul EV. The Ioniq has its technique yes of the soul. Just keep the newer development stage. Kia belongs to Hyundai. The menu operation of the two is approximately the same. The soul is in my opinion even more a car than the Ioniq. The Soul is indicated with a range of 212 km and is actually between 180 and 200 km far. Depending on the weather. Thank you for your great videos and Merry Christmas.

[@aholestol]

I think the Ioniq should have lower consumption as it has better drag CW numbers , 0.24 vs .34 on the Soul

[@SvenSchmolke]

Yes that's right. I only find the seat position in the soul as tailor-made.

[@jacklinchey8478]

Great review Bjorn, very entertaining.

[@stephenrobinson8600]

Your long distance winter drive gave a useful view of the Hyundai electric to get a view of the real cost it would be useful to know the cost of supercharging and fast charging. As a reference what is the cost of electricity at home? Thank you for a valuable programme. Best regards, Steve.

[@bjornnyland]

Stephen Robinson The electricity at home would be 1/5 of fast charging.

[@francisgaliegue6645]

Just one thing about the energy consumption... It is in fact better to talk about kWh/100 km vs Wh/km, it is only a factor of 10. For instance, 200 Wh/km is 20 kWh/100 km. And in the EU in general we are used to talking xxx/100 km. What is more, if you take into account that basically a litre of petrol/diesel is more or less 10 kWh, you can make a quick parallel: if your ICE car consumes 6 l/100 km (which is quite a nice feat for an ICE vehicule) it is in fact equivalent to 60 kWh/100 km... And there you start to see how much more efficient an EV is, even a fully loaded Tesla Model X P90D towing a 1+ ton charge :)

[@bjornnyland]

Tesla uses Wh/km. Most of my followers are used to this number. It's far easier to use when calculating energy usage. For example: You have a consumption of 200 Wh/km and drive 80 km. What is your total consumption? Answer: 200 Wh/km * 80 km = 16 kWh Now the more complicated: 20 kWh/100 km * 80 km / 100 = 16 kWh The EU general is based on fossil car usage. Why stick to the old and outdated measurement?

[@francisgaliegue6645]

Bjørn Nyland this is not a question of old or outdated; and you'll have noticed with the EVs you have driven that every single one of them is using kWh/100 km to display their energy usage. Plus, conversion to Wh/km is really easy, it's just a factor of 10... And a factor of 10 the other way to get a roughly equivalent l/100 km of fossil fuels. Plus, humans have trouble with big numbers, otherwise we would probably be using joules per meter :p

[@bjornnyland]

Francis Galiegue I disagree. An integer number is easier to use than a float number with a weird unit. 169 Wh/km 16.9 kWh/100 km You tell me what's easiest and most intuitive.

[@francisgaliegue6645]

Bjørn Nyland it's not a "weird unit", it's a direct transposition of what is used in the automotive world to quantify the energy usage of vehicles! Plus, as I said, since a litre of fossil fuel is basically 10 kWh, it gives a pretty direct parallel to fossil cars.

[@bjornnyland]

Francis Galiegue What is clear here is that we don't agree. Let me remind you again that my viewers are mainly Tesla followers. So I will stick to Wh/km.

[@DigitalYojimbo]

your "better packaging" leads to higher dev costs and repair time cost. the easy entry feature is available when you press the black button on the door handle.

[@jemclenachan]

Hi Bjorn. My wife and I really enjoy your videos. We need more Dolly updates. Anyways, I feel if you didn’t have the Model X, you would get the Ioniq. Although your delivery job would have to go. Keep up the great work.

[@eerikhm]

Kia and Hyundai specify usable battery capacity in their documentation. Unlike the Japanese manufacturers who specify total battery capacity. So both the Kia Soul EV and Hyundai Ioniq have 28 kWh usable battery capacity. The new Nissan Leaf with 30 kWh battery has a usable capacity of around 28 kWh according to owners.

[@dogphlap6749]

Good to know, thank you for that.

[@royoberollei6864]

Bjorn, please go over the paddle shifters in detail. I think this is the "fun" secret of this car as it allows ad hoc shifting of regen. No other EV can do this. You have to reveal this awesome feature. Does the left "down shift" it to zero and the right is for "up shifting", so to speak?

[@nazarkryher5539]

Thanks for such informative videos! VERY useful! I have 1 question though - is there any difference between the 2017 and 2019 model in terms of performance?

[@mauroscimone8584]

Wow beautiful car!! High efficiency, but small battery; great car and video!

[@Lumpiluk]

One minor thing at 6:24 "#SaltzSchmutzFest": If it's supposed to be German (not sure if there's another language with these three words) it should be #SalzSchmutzFest. (Perhaps even #Salzschmutzfest, but since it's a hashtag I don't care.)

[@bjornnyland]

Sorry, it was a typo. Correct is of course "Salz".

[@fredrikjonsson1503]

Really interesting video and car. But if the car should fit my use I need a few more KWh in the battery. Love your videos.

[@Ecoenergy]

I test drove one a month ago and the dealer said going to flat when tested it was going past 28kwh by a couple of minutes. The capacity is according to the dealer is 31.1kwh.

[@swongstandard8011]

40:54 "as an Asian, I'm saying, size actually matters". Are you referring to something Bjorn?

[@popololo321]

I Love your video, good job ! Very informative and funny. Thank you.

[@carloslemos3678]

For city daily commute or taxi like usage, would you expect the energy consumption to be much higher than in highway? thank you

[@benfarmer-webb1016]

It's not auto steer. It's lane keep assist. You have to keep you're hands on the well at all times.

[@mibars]

I wonder... Is it worth to preheat your car while charging at full power, warm all the interior so that when you start going and set temperature to regular level the heater would not have to work for a while? How much range one could get? 1km extra?

[@thespector8587]

mibars a few kms. Heaters use a lot of energy.

[@faustoreduto2415]

Hyundai states that the Ioniq Electric has 28kWh USABLE battery. So the battery pack nominal capacity is bigger than that (around 30kWh).

[@StrombockNino]

Love it, Björn speaking german! 😀

[@AwwwPishhh]

Bjorn you actually hit on a very safe idea using the seat attachment poitsto lash your straps to as they are load rated. Where possible with dunnage to protect the I USE THE SEATBELTS AS THEY ARE THE HIGHEST LOAD RATED POINTS IN THE BACK OF AN AVERAGE CAR

[@LostInIce4]

Well done Bjørn, give em hell when they park without charging. I do! :)

[@ad.6472]

Nice car and useful video :D. Greetings from Australia!

[@funkydunky1671]

Add more kWh and you get as much Model 3 as you can now. With more kWh even better than Bolt/Ampera E. Nice video, Bjørn!

[@crazwood6827]

[@nagasava8439]

(Cruiser mode) It will help me time to time while I'm doing something else, saying while driving :D Future of cars right there haha.

[@thorsteinssonh]

Hi Björn, Thank you for sharing your load testing of the Ioniq ev. I'm absolutely convinced this is the best electric car buy today. Unfortunately they haven't imported these to Iceland yet and they don't seem to be able to answer any questions about time and price, so I'm hoping I could just go over Norway and buy one ASAP. I wonder if you could give me some advice about buying in Norway, Do you know any websites I could search for one on sale in Norway, or any car dealers that may still stock this model? Like Norway, Iceland has 0% VAT and 0% import tax on fully electrics, so Norway seems to be the easies place for me to buy.

[@jhindson88]

Do you have an explanation for the long winter claimed range of the Hyundai Ioniq? At 18:07 the range is 179 km at 92 % charge in winter Typical range for Kia Soul EV is predicted range of 120 km at 100% at 0 C with 27kWh battery (160 - 180 km in summer) Leaf is similarly 25% less in winter Both are before losses due to cabin heat Does Ioniq have liquid battery management or some other tech that i sthe explanation for much longer cold weather range?

[@bjornnyland]

All the electric cars except for Tesla uses the last X km to estimate range left. If the last leg had low consumption, a high range will show. If the last leg had high consumption, a low range will show. Ioniq has liquid cooled battery similar to Tesla. And just like Tesla, excessive heat from the battery (and motor too, I believe) is diverted to heat up the cabin. Nissan Leaf doesn't have this. Leaf only has a passive heating. That's why the battery overheated during my test: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJeTgX2tg9iZnKc

[@jhindson88]

In spite of previous trip efficiency, I have never seen or heard of a Kia predicted range above 120 km at 0 C. And a similar 25-30% loss with Leaf. If the Ioniq (or any EV with liquid battery management) can get 170 km plus with a 28 kWh battery then it appears to be a no-brainer for climates like ours (British Columbia)

[@bjornnyland]

Jim Gord Ioniq's CdA is outstanding compared to SoulEV an Leaf. That in combination of better thermal management and utilization is probably why Ioniq does it so well in winter.

[@albinb.g.gulich9818]

Hey Björn, can you renew the links to the Music? Thank you so much.

[@Digi20]

There is so much empty space under the hood because the car is also offered as a hybrid and plug-in hybrid. so they need the space to fit in the combustion engine. same like the e-golf. the i3 on the other hand is only offered as a electric car, so they could package the whole thing more efficient.

[@schinsky6833]

Hyundai ioniq is supposedly getting a battery upgrade in 2018 which lets it drive over 300 km in normal conditions (not that NEFC bullshit). Then it is really hard to resist a buy.

[@37Zbig]

very informative and entertaining at the same time, thanx bjorn

[@hoschie2261]

Dein Deutsch ist richtig gut :-). The next car will be the Hyundai... it looks nice and the efficiency seems to be better than the Leaf.

[@etmax1]

coasting is actually detrimental to your total eco level unless the battery is fully charged. A clever charging system will be putting that back into your battery and holding you to the cruise control speed, all the while also reducing break pad wear.

[@etmax1]

Jean-Pierre White I agree regen is not 100% efficient, probably 40-60% depending on charge level but with coasting down hill you will have to ride the brakes (sorry for earlier misspelling) (at a cost) and regen saves the brakes as well as topping up charge. The on-board electronics is always using so you can at least recover that. BMW did research into drive economics on petrol (ICE) cars and found that coasting was worse than not. I have looked at it and if I down shift (ICE) and stay in gear my fuel consumption falls to zero (and I save brakes) where as if I coast I use 1.2lphr (and use brakes). I don't own a hybrid yet but hope to later in the year and I will post my experience.

[@etmax1]

Jean-Pierre White I think you've misread what I'm saying. You ride the brakes when you are going faster than legal and the lesser gear doesn't help. As I mentioned I don't have a hybrid, and I occasionally have the choice of going down in 3rd gear at 80kph (6 spd gear box) or 60kph in 2nd with the engine revving like crazy where the speed limit is 70kph. I choose 3rd gear and hit the breaks for a couple of seconds every 10 or so in those situations. On the electronics losses in a hybrid, sure they're parasitic, but if you have a full battery and are coasting down hill not using regen will give you a drain of battery when the petrol motor is off, where as regen will avoid that parasitic loss. That's what I was saying.

[@Ambroos]

etmax1 Even in coast mode, gently applying the brakes will use full regen braking anyway. If you brake harder than the car can do through regen braking, only then will the real brakes kick in! It's not like ICE cars where any braking engages the brakes.

[@etmax1]

Thanks for that, not not having one limits what I know. My definition of coasting is somewhat different.

[@13soxs]

Very good real world test, makes a change!!.........

[@MrBageren]

Hey Bjørn. what is the name of the app you use in the movie. Mikkel

Is it possible to calculate accumulated elevation increase and decrease separately, not just the direerence of start and end in elevation? For example, if you go up on the hill and then down and end up on the same elevation, the height of the hill would add both to the increase and decrease. Regen does not recuperate all of the energy, unfortunately.

Hey Bjørn, does the Hyundai Ioniq electric have preconditioning/preheating ? Via an app or some other way? Thanks keep up the good work.

[@bjornnyland]

icedaddy1011 It has preheating via schedule. The app is not ready for Europe yet.

[@icedaddy1011]

Thank you! Preheating was the only feature missing in my eyes, the car looks great otherwise. And would make a fantastic upgrade to my dino-diesel power Hyundai i30.

I can see some crossover with the Kia Soul EV which I have just ordered on our company lease scheme. The nav seems to in the same. I wish I had the money to buy outright but I just can't afford it. Perhaps I'll win the lottery when the Jaguar iPace comes out.

A very nice car, looks very similar to the Volt Gen1.
