    Yes. Definitely informative. I'm so happy with my Ioniq 5, and people like you keep giving me even more reasons to be happy. I live in a southern state (Oklahoma), so never have to change the tires for seasons. I subscribed to your channel for even more informative videos on Ioniq 5. Thanks so much.

    I bought my Ioniq 5 SE in 2022 , already put 34k on it ..For the first year I was doing 215miles on 80% charge ...this year the temperatures dropped ..so less AC and I have changed my workplace so it is mostly city and highway with traffic and boom ...my range skyrocketed to 250miles at 80% of charge and about 317miles at 100% charge. Not sure what the battery degradition I have ..but this car loves more city than highway ..and more traffic than an empty highway.

      I just posted something similar and thought it was my imagination until I read your post. Im getting better Kw per mile this summer than last. We will see how winter goes but at 34k miles Im not seeing any problems, just the opposite. There was a software upgrade for RWD. That could have helped.

      2022 RWD no software updates, 75 mile trip, 65 mph, cruise control, AC, on Interstate flat and hilly, reported 4.2 miles per kWh. The higher efficiency= close to 50 additional miles. In my experience, 65 mph allows more consistency as to speed (changing speeds is less efficient) on the road. I used AUTO Regen middle level. Thanks.

    Awesome! On the Freeway, estimate is 256 so right there. City much more. Avg 303. At 34k miles (18 mths), my car seems to actually get better miles per Kw this month than I've experienced before. I didnt expect that. Im very conscious to use regen braking in cold or hot weather since engineering reports say this increases battery life in EVs. Thats in general, not necessarily the Ioniq but physics are physics. Something to do with how the electricity is captured. I am always at 0 on the freeway and I use the paddles religiously in the city.

    Honestly, a 1% change in the range can just be chalked up to the margin of error. Like a test a few years apart with a sample size of 1, there is no way all variables were exactly the same. If it was 5% or higher then it would be really concerning, because all things considered 40k miles is not that much mileage. Also, I'm really impressed with how accurate the predicted range was, it was within 4 miles, which is really good esp compared to something like a Tesla which can be over 10-12 miles off.

    Hello- Nice video. I have a GV60. I have less than 2k miles right now. Question. Do you normally charge the car to 100% each time? Do you think I should only have an 80% charge each time? There is a lot of talk on the interest that charging anymore than 80% will degrade the battery over the life of the car? Your thoughts? Thank you.

    • @UpperWestEV
      @UpperWestEV  Год назад +1

      Hey, thanks for the encouragement! I don’t do a lot of driving when I’m home, so I set my car to charge to only 70% when at home and when on road trips I set it to DC fast charge to 90%. I know Hyundai recommends charging to 100% once a month. I believe it would be fine to charge the car to 80% on a regular basis and if you do charge to 100% be sure to start driving shortly after it reaches full charge, I read this helps reduce wear on the batteries.

  • @tanamorgan3039
    @tanamorgan3039 10 месяцев назад +2

    Thank you! What’s your take on limiting your battery charge to only 80%. Some people think this helps the battery to last longer.

    • @amperformance7998
      @amperformance7998 8 месяцев назад

      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.

    • @UpperWestEV
      @UpperWestEV  6 месяцев назад

      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.

      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.

On the driver door it is right behind my ear and when i push on the top of the plastic door panel the noise goes away. Annoying and made worse when playing thumping music. The lack of a rear wiper really has not bothered me so much, I can see just enough. I also tinted the rear window really dark so that reduced visibility, I use my side mirrors more.

Last winter was a disaster as the software wasnt up to date for the RWD. As a result it charged very very slow. But so far this year has been amazing in all ways. Crossing my fingers for winter lol.

    Thanks for this great video and hello from France. Having owned a Kia e-Niro since March 2019 I can attest to how good the Hyundai/Kia EVs are. We are now on 80,000 km and have just done a 1,750 km round trip to see family near Zurich, Switzerland. I have some videos of that on my channel 'Kia e-Niro Diaries Encore'. Our average winter/summer efficiency is 14.1 kWh/100 km..so about 4.4 miles/kWh but on a long haul at >100 km/h on autoroute this drops to just under 4 in summer and 3.5 in winter. Most of my charging is at home so only use DC rapids on long hauls to UK, Switzerland and around France. No discernible loss of range as yet and of course the e-Niro uses the old 400v system not E-GMP. Is the Ioniq 5 a long termer for you? We're retired so our e-Niro certainly is.

      Hello and thank you for reaching out. I will look up your videos. I have loved the ioniq 5, it’s been a great car but I don’t think we will keep it long term. We recently bought a Tesla model 3, in order to be able to use the Supercharger network. Non-tesla charging still has a lot of development to undergo in the United States.

      250 that was the highway range I was getting on my SE last year ...this year with less AC and new route to workplace with way more traffic on it I am getting absolutely crazy results. My average is now 3.9 with a lot of routes being even around 4.3 ....this year I am getting over 250 but on a 80% charge....my conclusion is ...this car loves City and loves Traffic ...the more empty the highway ..the less range I get.

      @UpperWestEV  Год назад

      Yes, I think so. The car is very efficient at city traffic speeds. The 303 is based on 50% city 50% highway but I wonder if you drove for 100 miles in town would you have enough left in the batteries to do 200 miles on the highway?

    • @Paulmetatron8
      @Paulmetatron8 11 месяцев назад

      The range is accurate BUT the one thing people dont understand w EV is wind and cold. This happens w Gas as well but we just find a station and fill up. With EV you become painfully aware of wind. I've drafted a few Semi trucks over time. At 34k miles now but trips to Seattle from Spokane can be brutal bcs of wind. But I suspect that can happen anywhere in the country. Single biggest factor in white knuckle EV driving for me.

  • @howardscho3809
    @howardscho3809 Год назад +1

    Not sure if this really tells us anything as the temperature and wind could be the entire loss or they may be covering up a lot of loss. Without this information have no idea what the results are telling us.

    • @UpperWestEV
      @UpperWestEV  Год назад +3

      I understand where you are coming from but.... the efficiency, or rate of consumption, 3.5 mi./ kWh, was the same in both tests, but I was not able to go as many miles. If there had been a difference from wind or temperature the consumption rate would have been different. This was not a difference in efficiency but a difference in capacity.

      @howardschoenberger3526 Год назад +2

      @@UpperWestEV While I don't totally disagree, I don't think you have enough accuracy from the measurement of 3.5 miles/ kwh to make the claim. You would need a car scanner app to get that, as the car does not report enough significant figures. 250 miles at 3.54 kwh per mile would be 70.6214 kwh while at 3.46 miles per kwh it would have been 72.254 kwh. Both of those measurements from the car display would have been shown as 3.5 miles per kwh yet there is a difference 1.633 kwh between the two. That alone at roughly 3.5 miles per kwh could represent 5.7 miles difference. I also though you mentioned something about winter tires, which could also have impacted the first test. I am not saying what you are measuring is wrong, but I don't think it is accurate enough to draw any conclusions. The other factor is how much if energy was used in either test by the car heating or cooling the battery pack of the car itself.

For example, I charge to 81% and dashboard says I'm good for 200 miles. Its parked for 8 hours while I'm at work, weather is about 70 degrees. Before driving home, dashboard says 183 miles @ 74% - a 7% decline just parked for 8 hours? Then I drive 63 miles home, now dashboard shows good for 70 miles @ 32%. I was going about 70 miles/hr on the highway. Holy crap! A 42% drop for driving 63 miles. Isn't that like 1.5 mi/kwh? But dashboard shows that drive being 2.7 mi/kwh. The numbers are so off.

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.
