Ioniq Electric Winter Range Tests 150 miles is possible with heat at 4c

[@marktiller1383]

I've ordered an Ioniq Ev. A must have is the cooled ventilated seats as it's 42c at the moment, which wouldn't work well with the passive cooling on the new leaf. The only thing that bothered me was the torque steer in sports mode. I was thinking in the wet to just use it in Eco mode. I'm used to really fast rwd or AWD Subaru's. I loved the seat reversing when you open the door. A hard sporting and working life and an extremely tired body , I just thought wonderful. I believe that big oil is being sued in America because of health problems. That makes me happy

Steve thanks for chipping in on the livestream just now sorry I didn’t respond to all your comments the Ioniq I think is better than a Tesla model 3 and if they bring the 40kw or 64kw battery to it in the next iteration it will beat it hands down (except for 0-60 times)

I use mine in normal mode at at 0 regen all the time, great performance and economy. The heated and chilled seats plus the heated wheel are great to have

I've begun to select tall new trucks to follow, and have formed the impression that you get best fuel economy by setting follow distance to two bars. (That 'best following distance' would be an interesting experiment for a long flat stretch of road when there's nothing else to do.) Newer trucks probably cleaner engines..

can you give detail make model and prices on your dash cam and may be why you picked that model over the what seems like hundreds of different ones there are

[@antonydanby]

I recognise the start of your journey. Am I right in saying it's the Morrisons at the A630 / M18(J1) ?

150 Miles from 28 KW battery is very impressive I imagine the charging times on this battery will be impressive as supposed to waiting to charge a 40kw battery which fails to achieve the same range + suffering from rapidgate

[@evtravels2180]

niceguy60 Hi there, yes it charge at 48kw/h until it gets to 84% and then it tapers to 24% until 94% where it stops on the rapid as part of BMS (battery management system) so charging a bigger battery does take longer on present chargers in the UK and it’s extra weight as you say so an Ipace might do 2.8mi/kw and the Ioniq 4.5. With free charging of course that doesn’t matter but start paying 30p to 36p a kw then all a sudden a 90KW battery at 2.8mi/kw starts to cost as much as a petrol jag.

So you start after charging with a warm battery, then your tires warm up + 1psi (every so slightly larger) you have kept the battery warm by a fast run. But could you improve on this ( @ 3c ) by finding the sweet spot, could this be 63mph heating set to feet? so the heat flows towards battery vent. You are in the ideal position to test, will it bring down your average by much? Have you noticed a drop-of in mileage when @ 25% ? Your videos are thought-provoking.

Ian Cox so Wednesday next week in the morning the weather looks similar in its forecast for 3c , not sure about any wind though, so let’s try exactly as you describe. As for 25% and drop off not yet
