Thanks for the video - Ioniq has such accurate guess-o-meter! This also demonstrates nicely how important *destination* charging is. All campsites should have EV chargers on site; no more fumes from cars while cooking breakfast!
I switched to an EV July '22 and am due to go on my first longish trip this week - NW London to Harrogate, which is 200 miles. My car is a Genesis Electrified G80 which has an 87 kWh battery, of which he I'm thinking about 80 kWh is useable. I am used to not having to worry about range having owned a Maserati and a number of Jaguars for getting on for thirty years. The Maserati was capable of over 500 miles between fills. My longest journey with the Genesis has been around 100-150 miles up until now, and from my experience, given the current temperatures I am guessing a total range of around 220 miles (i usually can ave 3 miles per kWh). So what I'm not used to is leaving the climate control off, and watching how I use energy, so from watching your excellent video, and some other rather less positive - MacMaster PorscheTaycan, I have to say a little apprehension is creeping in, with concerns over lengthy queues and non-working chargers! My view is, the Electrified G80 is a luxury saloon like my previous car's, and I am concerned about disappointment if the car cannot fill the brief of what a typical ICE car at that price point can achieve. I don't expect 500 mile range of course, but an 80 grand EV should not be troubled by this forthcoming journey. By the way apologies for my rambling comment, probably brought on by some of the horror stories about recharging EV's!!
Thanks for sharing this road trip, I've had my Ioniq for 2 years now and the lease runs out in 1 month but have 2000 miles left on the allowance, going from Essex to the Lake district on Sunday and never done a trip like this before so looked for vlogs and yours Was very helpful, been an absolutely fantastic car, just wish it done more miles, getting the Kona next. Thanks again for your video given me the confidence to give it a bash.
Awesome video, thanks so much for sharing, I have the 28kwh Ioniq sometimes I wish I had the 38 for the extra range, but I love my car, I'm sure you both love yours as well.
I have a 28kWh Ioniq & used Exeter Services last Thursday (26/8). Didn't check the output but it was still slow. Added what I needed and left. Amazed at how much you got in yours!
The cars done amazing, got 200 miles easily on our charges and the cat actually did do that. We did another video other week tested the range in the car going to North Wales and back ⚡🤣🔌😁 it did very well.
I have just got the same car as you so I am interested to see you get 4.8 miles per kWh on the motorway in poor weather. I was in Devon and Cornwall for our holiday at the end of July as well. Terrible traffic and lots of the narrow roads. We might go camping next year so it was interesting to see that you could squeeze it all in to the Ioniq Premium. I am looking forward to part 2.
Excellent video. Thanks. We're going from near to Warwick to Orkney in June. It's about 600 miles to the ferry at Scrabster. There are just 2 of us and our camping gear in a VW ID.3 so I don't need so many stops although the car is slightly less efficient than yours. Any reason why you chose instavolt? I find them perhaps the most expensive of them all. Ah, instavolt explained. 👍
Great video. I've been an EV driver since 2015. In the LEAF in the early days the EH was good. When I moved to my #28 Ioniq, I stopped using the EH due CCS sparsness and slow charging speeds. When Gridserve took over I got my hopes up, but, with the increase in EV's. The single unit locations are always busy. I've tried Exeter three times and always had to wait. I'm going back to planning to use off motorway sites now unless there's a Rugby style arrangement.
Thanks. That's the exact reason we pulled off the motorway and used instavolt. Knew they would be trustworthy and they wasn't busy either ⚡😁 and yes alot more rugby style services are needed with the same machines too. There more reliable than these ABB ones there installing.
@@EvClaireScott PS, I have the same tent and extension that you have, only on green. I always been able to charge on camp electrics and the Hyundai 3pin is great for being able to lower the charge speed. Although this year the campsite owner metered my 3pin and billed me £10 for charging my Ioniq ove the 8 days.
I thought at start you'd need to send removal van down to the campsite. Obviously have to be resourceful picking charging points when could be quiet. Otherwise you may as well carry on. Hope new car proves right decision. Assume had yours 18 months?!

Thanks and I'm sure u will be fine. Things have improved since we did this trip 👍

Thanks for the watch. We loved the 38kw ioniq. It has however sadly left us in September 2021 when the lease was up.

@@EvClaireScott I actually meant "how much stuff" you got in there!! But 200 miles is also very impressive.

Aww thanks. Yes we was so surprised what we fitted in car. It was jam packed though 🤣😁🚙

Hi. At the time of the video, instavolt where cheap and reliable. There is alot more options nowadays.
Enjoy and I'm sure it will be a great trip.

Ha. I know we got alot in the car actually. Ye had it just shy of 18 months. It's going back next month. Been a great car. 👍
y didnt u stay on the m5 and go to the M5 Gloucester Services GL4 0DN there r more chargers and faster chargers there
Sorry all about some of the footage. I think the video editor has tried to stabilise it but it's made some of it worse! Typical.
