Usually 80% sometimes 90

You’re welcome. Hope you love your new Ioniq!

Wonderful glad you found it helpful, and yes, 260 about what I got on average. With my winter tires, in warmer weather It was about 245

Yes I was pretty happy with this result. We can’t get the MG4 here in the US

Hey, thanks for the information, it will be interesting to see how the transition plays out over the next couple years. The trip would definitely be easier today than two years ago.

That’s interesting. What I noticed with the Ioniq 5 over the 44,000 miles I drove it, was that the rated range on a full charge was very susceptible to the efficiency you got in the last few drives. so for example, if you do a long drive up a mountain pass, and then a full charge, You might notice a significant range drop. Not positive that is what you were experiencing but it’s a possibility

@UpperWestEV after reaching out to the ionic forums, they said don't trust the onboard system as a measure. The system predicts a range based on usual driving. My wife drives 100 miles a day at mostly 75 mph. A huge relief.

Oh great nothing to worry about then, glad you got an answer. I don’t like how the auto industry and the EPA calculate range. The typical driver does not drive 50% highway and 50% city in one day.

It’s been a while so I don’t remember exactly but I believe I got about 3.3 miles per kWh I usually drove 65 to 70 mph

Hope you have a great trip

Thanks for sharing, I was happy with the results.

The way the car calculates the rated range is a little wonky, it estimates what your range will be at a full charge based on your efficiency in the last few drives. So for instance, if you’ve done a lot of hill climbing and then you charge the car to full and the rated range calculation on the car shows 210 miles of rated range but on a highway journey you would still see about 255 miles of range.

Thanks yes, I was very happy with the results. My experience with my first two Teslas was that I saw about a 5% degradation after 30,000 miles which was one of the reasons why I wanted to do this test.

@@UpperWestEV Whatever the Koreans are cooking with their batteries is really working. I'm also looking forward to what BYD can cook up, their blade LFP batteries have really been impressive to me, can't wait for further improvements with that.

I read a little article on those blade LFP batteries does sound promising. I really like the LFP battery in my model 3

@@UpperWestEV The Funny thing is all Teslas, except for ones that are manufactured in the USA, use the blade batteries for their LFP model. The USA has an import ban on Chinese batteries.

Hey, thanks for your comment. This car would be more than capable of 120 mile per day commute.

Definitely good battery chemistry. thanks for sharing this information.

Wonderful to hear!

Or charging is fine without having it?

I too noticed that the cars rated range was very sensitive to temperature. Thanks for the extra info.

Yes, it was my preference, but didn’t matter when the battery was cold as I could not achieve the higher charging speeds

Thanks for the request, but I sold my Ioniq 5.

It is a pretty well established practice for NMC batteries and is recommended by the manufacturer (at least in the case of my Kia EV6). The idea is not that you should NEVER exceed 80%, but that for normal driving conditions you should limit charge to reduce degradation. Charging to 100% is recommended about once a month to balance the battery cells, and is acceptable for a longer trip. However there is another 80% rule, and it has to do with minimising charging time. Basically, when on a fast charger, your charging rate will start to slow significantly as the battery gets above 80% or so, and will slow more as you get closer to 100%. Therefore it is often faster in terms of total time to stop fast charging at 80-90% and plan your next charging stop a little earlier. It is both easier on the battery and keeps you in a range that allows you to take advantage of the I5's super-fast charging capability.

When I was home, I would always set the battery charge level to 70 or 80% but while on road trips would set it to 95% sometimes even 100 if I really needed the extra range and even after 40,000 miles I saw very little battery degradation.

Oh great thank you for sharing the extra information.

I would, I really feel the ioniq 5 is a great car especially if you’re doing more regional driving with the occasional road trip. The reason I switched to the Tesla model 3 was because of the better charging network and better battery management for the type of travel I was doing, which was 600 to 900 miles a day.

How do I walk if my office is 57 miles away?

I do a lot of driving for my job, and I prefer to drive than fly.

Hey, thanks for the question. I did a video, doing a comparison after we bought a Tesla model 3 this last March. I really like the Ioniq 5, it makes a great electric car, especially for someone who’s moving over from a gas vehicle like a CRV or RAV4, but there are many things Tesla does better. Such as better app control, much easier and more frequent software updates, more abundant and easier to use charging net work when traveling, in car route planning, and superior battery temperature management. If you want more detail, you can watch the video. What EV could possibly be better than our beloved Ioniq 5.... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r8VdidKSx9eplGg.html

@@UpperWestEV thanks for the response! I'll take a look. It will definitely be different over the next few years as all companies are switching to NACS with the Tesla plug when it comes to charging network and access.

@@Diablo900900 good point, i’ve been wondering if customers who are aware of the coming change will put off making a purchase or buy a Tesla in order to have the charge port that will be most common. Of course, there will be adapters available but adapters are an added inconvenience.

Woah. Sitting in the car watching youtube for 25 minutes, no AC on. The dashboard shows good for 57 miles @ 27%. It just dropped 5% while parked, doing nothing for 25 minutes.

Wow this all sounds very unusual, I did not ever experience anything like that! Is this a recent development?

Could the battery be trying to cool itself while experiencing extreme temperatures?

couple things happen with this. First, your situation seems concerning. Second, if you drove the freeway, the Kw per mile will be less and through off the anticipated range. If should correct if there isnt something really wrong. But again, your post suggest a visit to your Hyundai dealer.

@Paulmetatron8 Yes, I took it back to the dealer twice. The first time, they worked on it for a week, saying sonething was wrong with "vcms". I had the same issue again, the day after they returned it to me. So I brought it back to the dealer again. They then worked on it for almost two weeks, which included their campaign (recall) for faulty "ICCU". Things got back to normal after that.

Thanks for your question, I have not heard anything about this, that seems really pricey for replacing just the fluid! I had a general service done at 40,000 miles and dealer did not recommend this. I would think the testing would be fine I never had to replace fluid in the 2 Model S cars I had. I drove each to over 70k miles.

@@UpperWestEV I just pulled up the owners manual in section 9-9 it says Low conductivity fluid - Replace every 35k miles or 36 months this is what I'm referencing.

@@bdk323 Interesting, I’m surprised the dealer/service representative did not recommend having this done.

@@UpperWestEV This is my slight hold up. Most people haven't driven their ioniq5 that much and I'm hearing multiple different stories from oh you just need to test it to 8 to 1200 for replacement. I really like the I5 and want to be prepared for this if its truly an item that needs to be addressed.

Yes, I was pleasantly surprised as well

Thanks!

Hey, thanks appreciate the feedback, that’s my goal!

Agreed my result boosted my confidence in this battery system quite a bit.
