i have it... it's exceptional, especially the ultra fast charging

[@JohnSmith-uz3dt]

What have you been getting for range?

[@francisdebriey3609]

@@JohnSmith-uz3dt with the 73 kWh battery, I can make up to 330 km / 205 miles in winter and 430 km / 270 miles in summer, which is the announced WLTP. I drive 75% on highway at 60 miles/h or so... Charging from 10 to 80% in about 30-40 min with preconditioning in winter, and less than 20min in summer

Just got my 2024 ultimate Friday...still trying to understand how stuff works...the car is amazing...i only miss the connected rear view miror i have on my rav4 limited... and well they say snow will be back shortly in laval... we'll see what that no rear whiper situation... Was anyone able to make 360° view work in the bluelink app???

[@FHB71]

I was looking into buying an Ioniq 5, but I really didn't like this SUVish dimensions. In the end I bought the Ioniq 6 and I must say, what a wonderful car ... which underneath is the same platform.

[@simplygregsterev]

I had the same impressions. I much prefer the Ioniq 6

[@nikevi08]

@SimplyGregsterEV did you precondition the battery using the onboard POI Nav section to your chargers?

[@simplygregsterev]

Yes and it’s one of the worst systems I’ve used. Watch the Ioniq 6 charge test

[@stefangabler3469]

Simply Gregster, Lol! Love the name, love the channel, keep it up!

[@simplygregsterev]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@thrillhousecycling7260]

Even seeing them in person, they never seem that big to me! But coming from a Polestar or Model 3, might feel chunky. Still tops my list for currently available EVs. Where would you rank it for “fun score” vs other EVs you’ve driven? Now do an EV6!

[@simplygregsterev]

I’d rank it a 7.5/10 for fun score. I really enjoyed how quick it was, the steering feels great and there is a ton of space in back. You could fit a bike back there no issues (if you remove the wheels, as is the style) and still keep the seats up. Or fit the entire thing with the seats down

[@stefangabler3469]

How does this compare to the "fat Beaver" IX from BMW?

[@simplygregsterev]

Ive not driven one yet!

[@jimscheltens2647]

Wish EV reviewers would mention how the cars compare to other EV, what is the difference between the experience of driving this car and driving a Model Y.

[@simplygregsterev]

It gets boring comparing everything to Tesla

[@pioneer7777777]

​@@simplygregsterevCounterpoint would be that most drivers of EV's have driven at least one Tesla in their lives, so it can be a good frame of reference.

[@MattDiSalvo]

Maybe if the charging stations have to follow rules like traditional gas pumps need to follow? This would hopefully weed out false advertised charging speeds and ensure maintenance is top of mind for locations such as the one you visited.

[@simplygregsterev]

That’s a good point and I also like to see a sign for price for kWh

[@ForkTheSpoonWrecker]

Charging speed has a lot to do with battery temperature. I own one of these and have often reached 210-220 kWh charging speeds, during the summer. Have not been able to get those speeds during winter though.

[@ForkTheSpoonWrecker]

@@simplygregsterev It'll be coming soon with Electrify Canada and sadly it'll be more expensive than using the current pricing format. 2x-3x as much, specially during summer.

[@simplygregsterev]

@@ForkTheSpoonWrecker I know :( I had a great charging session today with them with n Ioniq6 and mentioned “I’ll miss the per min billing”

[@simplygregsterev]

@@ForkTheSpoonWrecker I had a great session today. Hit 200-210 for a few mins. You really need OPTIMAL conditions. Still did 10-80% in about 25 mins. The preconditioning is really stupid but still hit some good speeds. I’ll post that video soon of the Ionic 6

[@jimneidert571]

here can you find a 24?

Missing the W, Where...

[@tails300]

I’ve seen the SEL trim got a huge downgrade in cabin interior materials. Hard touch plastic everywhere there used to be soft padded material. No rear vents, no center arm rest, basic cloth seats (not really all that worried about that one), rear doors are all hard touch even the arm rest. 59k is way over priced, the 2024 SEL should be no more than 30k.

[@simplygregsterev]

I have to agree. It should be sold at what the rebate price is here which would be around 42k. It does not feel like a 60k car should…

[@stefangabler3469]

How can these Cars be so good when everybody is saying either only Tesla or Fossil works!?

[@stefangabler3469]

I thought only the EA chargers here in the US are either non-functional or not performing as they should, but I guess the same is true for Canada as well...

[@simplygregsterev]

I just used 2 EA sites in USA and they worked great

[@michaellippmann4474]

I use Electrify here in Canada and extensively when we travel and other than the odd speed issue (throttling) we always get a charge. Did a 14,648 KM road trip last fall, 43 days, 77 charge stops and out of those stops 62 where Electrify...no issue. Just did 4400km to Florida and home again no charging issues other than wait times in Orlando. Did a Mercedes charging stop at a Bucees and that was great! In any case we love our 2022 Ioniq5 Ultimate, awesome car, 52,000km, 0 problems just goes and drives well. Cheers Mike and Ally 🇨🇦

[@simplygregsterev]

@@michaellippmann4474 they have really improved recently. We were just in Florida as well and the EA stations worked great!

Cars fantastic, just don’t fancy a £60k bill for a new battery when it fails or gets damaged and Hyundai won’t cover under warranty

[@simplygregsterev]

Why should Hyundai cover damage ?

[@stut9150]

@@simplygregsterev damage could relate to “poor” design of the vehicle which may not be under control of the owner ie water damage or individual cell failure, early degradation, the cost of battery replacement is still prohibitively expensive which ends up in an insurance write off where the costs to the insurance companies is passed on to everyone that needs to insure vehicles. Did you read the first to words of my previous post, technology is amazing some times it’s just not ready for forced adoption though I’m sure we will get there which really isn’t a bad thing

[@michaellippmann4474]

​@stut9150 that story is BS first of all, the battery cost is actually about 23,000 installed (direct from Hyundai) yes that is still stupid expensive but so is a new engine in any car. 2nd if a battery is physically damaged by road debris that is an insurance issue not a warranty issue...the $60k BS was determined to be an idiotic dealer, even Hyundai Canada couldn't believe the quoted repair (insurance company wrote the guy a cheque for the car) All that is reported is not always fact based.

[@richardfernandes8012]

All good until you dent the battery protection cover. Think about the lifecycle of an EV before you buy it. Would you but a house you need to rebuild in 5-10 years? kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqOWnnmwnZV-ic0

[@BioniqBob]

LOL

[@planesandbikes7353]

Terrible car company. A man in Vancouver just suffered a slight scuff on the underside of the car. Dealer says it makes the battery a write-off. The bill for the battery replacement for his Ioniq5 by Hyundai is listed on the invoice at $66,000 cdn or $45,000 Euros. This is more than the car costs new. This company does not take EVs seriously, cannot make a profit on them and is not committed to sell enough of them to deliver them at an appropriate price. The only EV available today with all its ducks in a row sold in North America is the Tesla cars - with appropriate availability, appropriate service costs, and most importantly seamless charging support, while the company makes large profit on their efficient business model.

[@simplygregsterev]

I found an article that stated the battery pack was impacted and deformed by 15mm. I’m driving the entire EGMP line up in the coming weeks and I feel they are taking it very seriously. More seriously than what the “big 3 are doing”

[@PenkoAngelov]

That's quite a fabricated story... It's more of a trick played by the dealer, than anything else. The sorry goes as follows (interview with the owner): The owner felt the car behaving "strange" and brought it to the dealer for inspection. After a while the dealer reported "scratches" on the underside of the protective shield. The dealer didn't have the capability of opening and checking the battery quoted around $30,000 CAD as that was the easiest (and most profitable option for them) option. After some time the dealer called back and demanded double - $60,000 CAD. Out of nowhere they made up issues that were completely made up. After calling his insurance company, they denied to pay because there were "external damages" not covered by the insurance and decided to write off the car. Pretty normal for all insurance companies. The only real issue with this battery was a minor coolest leak which is relatively easy to repair, but dealers often are lazy enough to refuse. *Hyundai were NOT informed prior or during the issue. The dealer is the one to blame and the one playing games with their customers. In my experience Hyundai and Toyota dealers are the WORST out there and full of scams and shady business practices.
