I switched to octopus fixes with the intelligent drive pack as it works out cheaper for me with no charger change (intelligent drive pack is new.
well I am going to change my charger, I am on ovo because of my std day rate of 22p kw is fixed for 18 more months, i use 15kw a day (medical equipment) I can either spend the extra 350 to 500 pound out ever 12 months, switching to another energy provider or pay for a charger and a hour of electirtions time, which seems to be the cheaper option for me.
The worst thing about this is that with octopus now offering a bolt on and moving forward other energy companies are looking at this too we will soon be in a situation were the schemes charger partner wont work with any.
(the reason this is happening is because the ohme has no way of detecting if a charge came from solar or home) so basically people have been getting energy credit even when charging from solar.
Oh I am not looking at this likely, the main issue is Hyundai have restricted the amount a device can api check the car, because of 12v issues (you just have to search ioniq 5 12v issues) as my charger handled talking to ovo I never had to worry.. the beta for my car with ovo is just the car talking to it and giving hyundais restriction on this its a scary prospect.
on the 12v this is hyundais response (after about 8 so called fixes for owners globaly that clearly have not worked as I have had issue since last update).
Blue Link Usage:
Hyundai has identified that some third-party apps accessing the Ioniq 5’s Blue Link system too frequently can drain the 12V battery. (examples of which have been energy, companies, dongles, and other software accessing the api)ICCU:
blown fuse or faulty ICCU
Car sitting for too long:
there is quite a list they blame, basically rule of the thumb with this car is if you own it carry a battery jump pack with you). which luckily I did.
So I have had to comment here (after a while) Ioniq 5 ultimate 4×4 my second ioniq in as many years, my first one had a serious battery issue were sometimes you would charge to 80% (car and dash etc will say 80%, electricty bill would say you took a lot of kw, you would drive a few miles and be down to 40%) so it was terminated, I went for another one this 5 and hassle free motoring, until the 12v died :(, luckily it was just the 12v and nothing else.
Now my energy company ovo are saying the ohme charger I have wont be supported from next month and the car is beta at the moment (which means if it does not register the control I get charged full amount…
Now a lot of people are saying just change energy company but looking at octopus/ eon etc, their daily rate is extornate on their ev tarrifs, I do about 15 to 18kw a day without charging due to medical equipment and smart home stuff that aids me. that extra 4 pence per kw over 1 year is going to equait to a extra £300 a yer….
Motabilty have told me to try bp, but that will be more than charging at 24p a kw… ffs I love this car so much (comfortable) but its starting to feel like am doomed.
It is harling over brick. Just sent an email to see if they have contacted someone to repair before it falls off. I have had to leave my cable in, which makes it vulnerable to be stolen as it can only be locked when connected to car. , ,
option in ohme app to lock the cable in permantly.
lets be real those of you that have a order in might not see the cars until december, launch is in september with only a few handfull of cars touring the uk… stock expected to hit anytime after that.
The good thing you have going for you is you will have HDA 2.0,, new entertainment system (same as kona and ioniq 5 n) bigger battery (same as in n version).. if you have a ultimate you will get smart parking 2.0, heat pumps are standard on all models. slightly different steering wheel (simular to the 6) so its not all bad and why the wait was not worth it for me as I got offered a awd with tech pack and heatpump was free plus cashback :). in your position I would not be upset.
Were do I get my facts from, dealers have had orders since april that have not got a build date for and as the factory in korea has already changed over to new model and usa factory is ready to open ahead of schendule I cant see any non facelifts being built and only facelift models pushed out.
Your big mistake was ordering a car, until a grant is fully approved and finalised (which it is not when you got sent this list) the grant becomes null and void.
you should of appealed, wrote to motability and been patient you might have had a argument with him expecting you to charge away from home with the argument who is going to look after my wife why I do this and are motability paying for these costly charging away from home which in some cases is more than fuel.
I am with ovo as it suits me better, I get 6.8p a kw just for the car (they control the ohme charger) when ever grid is low to medium (you get slots) but they will still charge you in the last hour even if grid goes high as they have commited to that time slot.
it is also a addon and not a tarrif so you can go on any of their tarrifs you want.
works out fine for me, I also get £10 credit every month for powermove and keeping use low during peak times.
to be honest the renault megane is a great car apart from issues with it so bad it got mechanically terminated, faulty motor, wait 3 months to replace, Faulty headlight, we dont know when would be able to replace that, when the car got to the dealer their were 3 in pieces, they may have fixed them by now… The worse thing was the motorway range, a weekly 160 mile round trip (145 of those at motorway speeds, car claimed it was getting 3.5kw/mile) but at the end of the 80 miles one way you would have 45 tol 51% depending on time of year , it did not add up (and the efficency is not just questioned by me, others had issues. How ever the ioniq 5 with 80% charge (62 kw left so only 2kw more than the megane) that is heavier, does about 3.2 to 3.3 kw/mile at motoway speeds can do the same journey from 80% and still get back with 26% battery.. for me the numbers just do not add up correct with the megane. I know the knew scenic though does have a different motor (same one but redesigned with nissans help) maybe they know the older motors efficency is awfal but dont want to admit it.
If a parking space was so tight that I had to get out of the car and park it remotely, I’m afraid that I would avoid that space like the plague. The cars either side won’t have that feature and there’s a fair chance that you’d end up with a dent in the side of your car as they try to squeeze back in to their car with their body weight against their door, pressing against the side of your car.
but in normal bays sometimes, they have not left enough room to get into your boot either this has great advantages.
The ioniq 5 ultimate with tech pack has this, but with a really great feature, when you push the button, it asks you if you want to do it in car or remotely (covers both bay types) and you get out, hold the fob button down and it parks with noone in the car
@KamKam not sure how much help this’ll be to you but I’d tweeted Hyundai direct so I recommend trying that. I think the boat carrying mines docked at Tilbury on the 13th (Grand Uranus) but another boat (Morning Cornelia) docked today, the 21st. Not sure what boat yours would have been on? According to Hyundai my car should be at Gateshead in 5 working days, I got that reply yesterday so that’d be Thurs. So about 2 or 3 weeks from port arrival to the dealer depending on how many cars need to be delivered to dealers… 🤷♂️ I’m also in Scotland but ordered from Gateshead as I was getting a better deal, hopefully we’ll start seeing more on the roads soon with these boats arriving… 🤞 I’ve already decided I won’t collect mines until July in the vain hope the AP drops 😂😂😂
Mines was the Cornelia. If anything changes next Q and it’s in stock I’d be tempted to travel for it!!
give hyundai ashford a call, they will check their system to see if any of the main dealers have one and if they can steal it, or even better if the awd version of 6 comes on I saw a list of about 12 of them sitting in a dealers.
my last 4 cars have been a week from choosing to collecting, because i search for model and spec on autotrader, then contact the dealer to see if they will let it go to a motab customer, then pop in show licence and collect 5 days later .
This is why I tell people try to order roughly at the end of the month, it used to be quaters, but now its monthly… basically I dealer will fall head over feet for a motability customer if it makes up their monthly numbers, why they only might make a set amount from you, the fact your sale could mean the difference between hitting a target and not.. for a dealer that means the difference between a 5% discount and a 8% discount on the following months orders… so they would obviously make money from you as 3% extra off what they pay for all of the following months orders equates to a lot more than the set fee..
This is why you see some dealers offering cash back etc.
Hi, do you mean December 2023 onwards?, (my Namsan build date February 2024)
yes, December 2023 onwards iccu has a different part number and is the revised version.
I have had so many issues with my 5, flat 12v, drastic battery loss (main traction battery) but we loved the car so much we are going with another one, I have done the research and it seems its all related to the iccu, basically they know their is a issue as all their have been 5 in total iccu software updates, with the last one being a govt involved thing due to safety concerns.. apparently all the december 2024 onward cars have the newer version of the iccu which has a different part number.
Is there a reason for charging to only 80% anyway, despite what some manufactures say it’s ok to charge these if your gong to use it next day on home charger to charger to 100%
sign reading tech in cars is not in a good place to do this yet, and some dont even read it by road signs and rather maps, which is well and good until road works are in place, or you go down the a2 to dover a 70 road and every junction has a 30 sign that the car picks up as speed for a mile or too, there will be cars jack rabbiting on 70 roads like crazy lol.
I am with OVO because it works better for me without solar, I went with them because the start the charge when the grid use is med to low, so you get some hours during the day and the full nights worth. So I can plug my car in at 7pm (77kwh) and it will be charged by the morning. at under 7p a kwh.
#
Forgot to add you do go with ovo, to start plugging in at 5pm, they will only start the charge like norbut you will get a text after a month asking if you want to join their power move programe, they will ask you to shift use away from 4 to 7pmn which as you have been charging from 4 (you might only charge for 30 minutes or so during this period, but they will look at them months use during them hours only and then credit you 10 a month for hitting the power move

- Indeed, they have plenty of new stock available for quick delivery too but Volvo UK have decreed that Motability orders cannot be made for them & all orders have to be new build only & a 3-6 month wait currently. ☹️
that’s a dealer quote not a Volvo quote, if you don’t believe me ring round you will find dealers more than happy to sell you one
Tried the Ionic5 Ultimate last Thursday and the EV6 AWD on Friday. Both excellent cars and imo both worth their £50k price tag. The Ionic5 was comfortable and both wife and daughter loved the looks and colour (Matt grey) and it has pretty much all of the bells and whistles you could want. Very comfortable ride and although a few scratchy plastic trims a very pleasant environment. Indeed it impressed so much I nearly cancelled the EV6 except that the salesman had gone to collect the car especially from another dealer. I’m glad I didn’t cancel as I was seriously impressed by the AWD version. As with all EVs the power is immediate and smoothly delivered and I was looking forward to opening it up on the nearby dual carriageway which has an initial 50 then national speed limit. Did about 60 miles of mixed urban and dual carriageway and averaged 4.0ml/kWh giving a range of 309 miles, pretty close to what it says on the tin. At one point I clicked on the drive mode button to “sport mode” and it just flew up the road. It felt comfortable and although not as well equipped as the I5, none the less it’s much more of a drivers car. Really pleased with the quality of EVs on the scheme, just wondering whether to hang on until next quarter in the hope of reduced ap’s or biting the bullet and ordering now.
it is a dilema, do you or dont you, I had to car i was currently in was failing hard, also you have to hope that that its still on there. if its a factory order, just ask the salesman to confirm that if ap goes down they will redo the order for you.
Does the Ultimate get those reclining front seats to relax after you have made yourself a cuppa from the V2L adaptor or rear socket lol. I followed one yesterday on French plates for around 150 miles and must admit it grew on me, although I couldn’t figure out why they were driving exactly 10mph below whatever speed limit the road commanded – wierd lol. Anyway enjoy ?
thats part of the tech pack (only standard on the nasman edition) which includes
Remote Smart Park Assist, Parking Collision Avoidance Assist – Reverse, Front Relaxation Seats, Driver Memory Seats, Auto Flush Door Handles) for a extra £900 (smart park assist is forwards and backwards out of a space using car key fob).
Nice one @Rico. It is a great looking car with performance to match I am sure. Personally, I would be saving up for a public charge on a 350kW rapid to see the amazing charge speeds!
Oh on the way back from holiday we stopped at 20% went into gregs grabbed a coffee and got back to the car at 82 percent after about 18 minutes… on a gridserve 350kw charger :O
So back to give a update, for some questions and after covering 1000 miles with holiday trip and various normal tedious hospital trips..
Very nice, which trim did you opt for ?
Ultimate because the extras for 500 more on the ultimate over premium are worth it (surround view, bose system, HUD, and the nifty in dash blind spot cameras that pop up when you indicate and show the side view looking back of that side)
Given most I5 colours are grey tones, they make it easy not to be too fussy. It’s a lovely car and the 800v thing will be useful as soon as you charge away from home. I’m still bouncing between the Ultimate and the Ariya evolve in Aurora Green.
its a complete joy tbh in the ioniq, so comfortable has loads of legroom and you get with the car, type 2 cable as normal, 3 pin 10A domestic plug charger and the V2L adaptor (that turns your type 2 port into a 3 pin plug (I have seen a DJ in a field running decks, speakers and amps from his car from this adaptor)
may I ask what the wait times are. if I get my PIP renewal confirmed, its either an EV6, Nissan Aryia or the ioniq5 I will get
my ioniq 5 took from deciesion to driving away one week so I dont know how long the wait times are, if you do decide on one and want it quicker, be prepaired to travel and ring round, but hurry on this as you have a limited time (say until end middle of sept) when car sales lul slows down. (summer holidays is quitest time for dealers as most people are more thinking about holidays than buying a car) so dealers are more willing to let in stock cars go to us.
To be honest he treated me with contempt and A complete A Hole and I would say that to his face he may have treated you OK but he was such a coward would not even have the courtesy to talk to me as most of the so called top people I am old school and he will be judged at some point and yes he was ruthless and lied lets hope my legal team sort him out.
why I dont doubt your meeting and time with him was great, I wonder (I am a vet too) if in fairness of people who are not would a freedom of infomation request on grants to vets and non vets ratio look like, this needs to change with how rude the responses some people get are. it would stop the people thinking their is biased and maybe some of us vets should contact him asking him to look at this in a military way of thinking with the way it should be run.
Well great news my iconic Megan E Tec is in the country Should get to dealers anytime within the next 3 weeks Handover 5 weeks from now (fingers crossed) If so thats only 17 weeks total wait All good as factory ordered 3 months before end of 3yr lease and before the £700 AP increase this quarter I contacted my dealer a week ago and mentioned the batch of 42 ceramic grey/black roof were on its way over ( heard about it on the grapevine) and if poss could they grab one for me. Pics will follow as will my honest user reviews
you will love it, make sure they do the alarm fix before delivery or you will have not happy neighbours!… my first advice is to download vivaldi browser from the play store, it will allow you to browse and watch you tube when stationary as well as login to prime and disney plus and watch those. abrp is able to install, so is waze direct to the car. just dont forget to set up your phone as a hot spot for the car to connect to, the 3gb of data wont last long using those services.
