Thank you for this video. My ioniq from 2018 with 33.000 km had exactly the same problem. My dealer says it will cost €3300 to fix because the part is so expensive. When I listen to your video I hear a different amount. Is it true that the sensor is €3300?

What are your thoughts on jacking up the whole side of the car using a single jacking point? E.g to swap wheels front to back etc. I know the chassis is stiff enough to be able to do it, but is it harmful to the battery at all?

I worked in a tire shop. You need to give it a smack with a rubber mallet in the center

Quick question, can you programme a button to change driving mode onto the steering wheel?

This video is totally uneducated. Lithium in batteries cannot be commercially recycled presently. The requirement on hydrogen tanks in the USA is that they cannot leak anything for 30 years. "Difficult" doesn't mean anything. Cost of design and manufacturing means something real. Batteries are not green and won't be any time some. Meanwhile here in California, I've been driving on 100% green hydrogen for 3 years.

Another super comprehensive video Matt, well done! I've seen mid-80's kW regen when decelerating at level 3 from motorway speeds on long downhill off-ramps; I think it would make sense if the motor were to be able to regenerate an amount near or equal to its rated power output.

Whats the maximum weight it can carry

It's good to know where the jacking points are, but where do you put the axle stands!

These features are ok are long as they are optional to use. Hate switching things off every time I get in a car.

sounds like the snowflake is gonna cry... not sure what the point is as there is no cue to worry about in the first place.

My 2020 ionic limited just popped this code. I'll be bringing it in today to have the job performed. I obviously panicked at first as I was 120 miles from home when it showed, but your video, combined with a diagnostic run clip showing this issue does not cause battery overheating, I was confident to drive it home. Charges fine, drives fine, discharge/recharge rates unchanged. Just this stupid annoying warning notification that you can't clear from the wonderful display these vehicles have. I absolutely love the car and I hope this issue doesn't force me to make the decision to trade it in.

Great explanation and demonstration.

❤😊thank you 👍 most interesting, especially as I'm thinking of getting an electric van for as a camping van I've been driving electric cars for over 10 years

I’m so over Teslas. It’s musk that annoys me mostly, but also no stocks. That’s the devils work.

I have a little tear to my eye every time you mention your old green model S. 🥹 RIP Green Beast

Ioniq is legend, both Classic and Facelift are phantastic cars, incredibly efficient, extremely good driving impression for this price, can't get better than this, it's a shame that they do not produce it anymore, newer EVs are having a tendency to going backwards sadly. Too high consumption in new cars, and too much useless expensive stuff, too high, like insane cameras instead of mirros that have spare part prices where you would go crazy if you have some damage and need repairs. If you have a Ioniq, do not give it away, you will regret it!

Do you think there' s anywhere underneath the Ioniq to mount a dieselheater to warm up the cabin. I live I Sweden and the battery suffers both from lover efficiency for the tracksion and from warming the cabin up in hard winter conditions. A dieselheater to warm up the cabin would help in those conditions. For one hour drive (ca 60 miles) the fuel consumption would be around 0,2 liter. That's very low compared to ICE.

Can I use the USB-C port to play music from a memory stick, like I can on my current 19 reg C4 Cactus ? There are some who say you can't or it's difficult to set up.

Thank you I thought something was wrong aswell

Thank you. This has motivated me to get round to checking the jacking points on my small EV after 30 months of ownership!

They used the Paid as a testbed to see how many morons would still buy the LHD version and if they could get away with not bothering to make a RHD version for the UK - hey presto the morons did gud now you will start seeing the complete phasing out of RHD on all teslas. Congrats plaid morons you fell for it hook line and sinker!!

You’ll be happy to know that if a tyre place leaves a puck in you can easily remove it by going over a speed hump. Shears it off quite nicely.

Great resource thank you I’d like a similar video on the BYD ATTO3 Cheers

Great video as always, hopefully you'll consider doing a similar video on the hyundai ioniq, with emphasis on home jacking for tire change. Much appreciated

Great explanation, thank you.

Are you winding-up GGA? You've only got three vehicles for sale on your website, including this transporter.

I recently was getting very excited to watch my range going UP by a couple of miles as i was decending some long hills, was surprised to see how much potential energy there actually is it was adding another mile every 30 seconds or so. Mind blowing really,, you wouldn't see that in a combustion engine!

Another great video. I actually bought a 38kw Ioniq after watching your videos and I LOVE it. It's interesting, only this last week I've noticed it adds range v slowly on that top right 0.5mile bar graph, so it is still regen-ing when you have 0 on the regen. However if you long pull the right flap to manually take it off, you do feel every so slightly that the regen is fully off. It's ever so slight ineach mode, even though they both say 0

Just ditch the unnecessary front motor?

Thank you for the video. It's really very informative. It also makes me a lot less anxious about battery degradation the fact you still have very good battery health after 6 years and 102,000 miles clocked. It is obvious as well that you take care of the battery and so, I am really interested to know what your usage and charging habits are like? And what are the habits that you feel might have contributed to the protection of your car's battery health? Big thank you for sharing.

I'm looking to buy one sorry if this has been asked before and going off topic but can the keyless entry be turned off this model ? If it can is it worth a video as I cannot find the answer anywhere Thanks in advance

You gave me the confidence to purchase one of these. Coming friday ill be an EV owner with a 2021 38kwh IONIQ.

It's a good start; So far I'm liking it. It has to improve it's memory greatly to be fully useful.

Brilliant car - why oh why did Hyundai stop making them!!

Very informative and currently looking to buy one. On average, how much would standard servicing cost? Thanks

Is using cruise control massibely less efficient than this? I do tend to use it a fair but, but when not using, I will adapt this method of setting regen to 3 and using accelerator. For some reason I was thinking this might cause extra wear on the motor. I don't know why I thought that!

how much do you regen on the 28 kWh? If 38 kWh one regens 0.5 mile in like 2 seconds?

Great advice thank you

Many thanks. I have one concern regarding EV gearbox design. I live in Canberra and when I go Batemans Bay on the way back from the ocean we have a very long a steep road. When I drive uphill on my Kia Sorento 2009 Diesel I suspect my gearbox gets hot and the electronics drops down the speed to 20-30km/h and I can't drive any faster for the last 0.5-1km. My question is that I feel that 1 speed gearbox will be a very bad if you have prolonged uphill roads especially if you have high load or towing something. The motor will have to pull hard on low rpms instead of having a decent reduction like 30x1 instead of what you were saying 7.4:1. Is my understanding correct?

Two things, using the left paddle to come to a complete stop, hold the paddle toward the steering wheel for Max regen and complete stop. Have you noticed regen is only about 50% efficient compared to use climbing the same hill. Tested in my ionic 38 Kw in Australian.

Do you hear any noise from the motor when regen braking or accelerating at low speeds? Mine makes a slight tick tick tick noise but it's not very noticeable. I don't know if this is normal. Thanks!

Is there a way with the Ioniq, or EVs in general, to force the car to use the friction brakes? Just thinking that giving them a decent workout from time to time would stop them rusting or siezing up, as I understand can happen with EVs

Looking to get one of these Matt, you've convinced me that they're better than the eC4 in terms of tech and efficiency! Thanks for the info, very relevant for new-to-EV drivers.

This is a great tutorial for new EV drivers, or those unfamiliar with the benefits of regen. I have only ever driven my small EV in one pedal mode because it makes driving a pleasure, even in busy towns.

I recently got one of those cars, have the setting on maximum re gen..and brake only with the left hand paddle it holds the car as well. One paddle driving!

Why can't the rear wheels be used as a dynamo putting energy into the battery as you drive all the time

This is a great channel.

Hello Simon. In any regen mode, if you pull and 'hold' the left regen paddle it will apply even more regen and bring the car to a complete halt without using the brakes! If however you have already started to brake with the break pedal the paddle is ignored. Have a play...

🙋‍♂️ THANKS SIMON ,FOR THE ACCURATE EDUCATION 🧐💚💚💚

my Renault Zoe (2013) has LV (low Voltage/12V DC) PTC heaters in it at a maximum of 1800w - suppose to supplement the heat pump system in cold weather , but when my heatpump packed up once I enabled the PTC heater to run and at least it gave me some heat in the car which was better than none at all
