The Ioniq 5 is a very capable car. I put on 8200 miles in June over a three week trip from Maine to Nebraska, Santa Fe-NM, Bluff-UT, Olema-CA, Seattle, then back to Maine through Salt Lake. Love miles. 59 charges mostly with EA and used their app because of the Hyundai deal with EA. Cost me under $17 for electron fuel. No trouble with the car, some finicky chargers now and then, average charge time 18 minutes, charging to 80-85%, only down to 10% once. Saw others charging at most chargers, but never had to wait in line. Used lane keep and dynamic cruise control on interstates made for a relaxing drive IF you avoid one danger, nodding off. Caffeine helps.
Just finished up my first road trip in my rwd sel ioniq 5 last month. 950 miles each way from the Tampa Bay area to Baltimore. Great experience with EA charging and loving the car and your videos. Keep up the good work.
I have experienced this as well with the HDA. On long stretches without traffic, it is fine. With traffic, the acceleration and failure to see the car in front is real.
We just came back to Norway after driving through Sweden, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Germany and Denmark. The Ioniq 5 was flawless on the trip. Comfortable seats after thousands of kilometers driven. Stable at 190 km/h on the Autobahn. Charging was no issues at all and no thermal issues even on the Autobahn. Slept two nights in the car just for the experience, Utility Mode along with the Lively Forest sound effects, slept like a baby. Being 6.1 I had no issues stretching my legs. One thing that was annoying, a new highway in Poland was not in the navigation system even after updating prior to the trip. Usually went down to around 5% SOC and charged to 90% mostly using the Ionity network. HDA really takes the stress out of driving and less tiring on those long stretches. Happy campers!
Whoa you really put in the miles/time. Driving for over 4 hours straight between charging is a helpful perspective. You're right about doing things while the Ioniq 5 is charging. It makes sense and is healthier to walk around, get something at a market, and kinda recharge yourself. I always feel refreshed and glad I took the break. I never took those kind of breaks driving a gas car. When you tested the car running the battery to empty seemed to help encourage confidence when taking the Ioniq 5 below 10%. It's still strange to hear your charge level when you arrived at the EA stations. But I'm glad you shared that info. Long road trips are really no big deal as long as fast charging is available.
I will say it was nice to take a few extra stops for a personal "recharge." Yes, knowing that I was going to have 7 or 8 solid miles past zero really made me feel more relaxed about pushing down into the single digits for arrival at EA stations.
Glad your trip went well and you had a great time here in Richmond (I live about 4 miles from the Richmond EA station). Your videos are leaning me towards buying an Ioniq 5 soon.
Good information. Checked out the Electrify America app for my state, North Dakota. There are no EA locations shown for here, which is exactly what my dealer told me. Shame about the 2 years of no cost charging. The best local charger and best on route across state is 62 kw. It will improve but will take time.
This is a great benchmark for some summer road tripping. I'm almost a month away from my road trip and can't be more excited. I would love to do some further driving but I have a 1300 mile road trip from NY to Ohio coming in November too. All these details and quirks I will surely take into account on my trip too. Thanks again for the video!
"eating a sandwich". lol. Thanks for taking us along on the trip. Also, thanks for explaining A Better Route Planner. I'll avoid it whenever I get an EV. Be well.
Glad everything went well! When I did my trip to Florida, it was also very hot and humid when charging. While I never experienced the vibration in the steering wheel like you noticed, I heard the cooling system working overtime. It would usually quiet down once the battery hit about 39°C max. It’s also interesting how much power it would use in the process of dropping the temp down from 45-50°C. Killed about 2-3% after certain hot charges.
I noticed the battery cooling kick on in the Ioniq 5 I rented with temps in the upper 90’s here in Portland. I think Teslas are the same. When the battery cooling fan kicks on you can really hear it.
19:40 I think the drop to around 30 kW might have been an EA station issue. Usually when the cable cooling sensor fails it limits to 30-37 kW. However you said that it came back up again, usually the cable cooling issue doesn't resolve on its own so it could have been your car's battery as you initially said.
Doing our 1st road trip next month in our I5, Maryland to Tennessee. Plan is to use ABRP and Waze. Can’t wait. Glad you had good EA experiences which is my main concern especially as we go more south.
Thanks for the video and info - Just FYI - your experience locating and using the plethora of charging stations in the Northeast Corridor is not typical of other parts of the country. I am planning a roadtrip in late Spetember to drive our newly purchased Ioniq5 from New York State to the McAllen, TX area. Charging stations of any kind (except Tesla Superchargers) are few and far between in south Texas. ABRP, as sucky as it is, is the only route planner I've found that attempts to route us the entire trip. After seeing all of our current charging choices, we'll probably need to spend an extra night at a hotel in Corpus Christi with a destination charger to make the trip. Unless Tesla opens up their network by September. Thanks again.
Right, I really wish I could experience what the network is like outside of the populated northeast corridor. Hopefully they begin to focus on these other swaths of the country
Haven’t road tripped yet in our SEL, but want to. I have experienced as you say some trouble with “driving assist 2” on an elevated expressway where it suddenly stops working briefly, then reactivates with several occurrences . It’s annoying. The road surface is new white cement with good paint on the shoulders. It’s a head scratcher for sure. Otherwise it has worked as expected.
I also had that same sort of thing happen on an elevated section of I 695- Baltimore Beltway near the Key Bridge. Kind of unsettling when it happens. Otherwise my trip was good, 172 miles with 4.3 miles per kWh. Had a good recharge at Electrify America near Rosedale- charged at 150kW with no problems although two of the four chargers at that station were out of service with an electrician there working on them.
I’m wondering if your lack of air conditioning at home when you were trying to precondition the cabin was due to only being on your level 1 charger versus level 2? If you get an answer from Hyundai, please post it. Thanks!
Great video. You relieved a bit of my anxiety about taking long road trips with our recently purchased I5 SEL. Did you get the cruise control issue fixed? When we drove, the speed control was detecting exit speed limit signs positioned close to the highway and in some cases abruptly slowed the car down to the exit sign limit on the highway. I turned off the speed limit sign monitoring functionality thinking this could be a serious issue. I wasn't a fan of it anyway.
Here in the Midwest there aren’t as many EA stations. I want to take the car this Christmas from Chicago to Sturgeon Bay WI. I checked and I’ll arrive with 10 miles to go. There’s only one EA station en route and that’s in Milwaukee. Which is under halfway. But how do I get back home? Suggestions?
Thank you for all your videos, they are very helpful! A question about the HDA issue: Is that different from adaptive cruise control? On my current car (I'm on the wait list for I5 at 2 dealers here in Baltimore area), the ACC will adjust perfectly to the vehicles in front. Can the I5 use ACC without HDA? Thanks!
Coming in late on this killer road trip and have a question. Doesn't battery conditioning cool the battery for optimal charging also? I have a 2015 i3 but am considering between an Ioniq 5 and a Ioniq 6. Can't decide(!)
I haven’t DC charged in hot temps in two years but I’m pretty sure it does. You’ll hear the fans and pumps really ramping up when charging when it’s hot
In my site, limited version removed off the HUD, indoor V2L, bluelink, don’t know what local dealer strategy is? I guess there is no major competitor in same class could have in Taiwan. (Model Y not launched yet)
You may have answered this before, but…is there still a federal tax refund for Ioniq 5’s bought before the new bill was passed negating credit to foreign built cars?
If you bought before the day the bill was sign (august 18 or 19) you qualify. If you bought after and you didn’t have a signed purchase agreement from a dealer prior to that date, you get nothing
Hey, great video. I'm going to buy an EV. Deciding between the Model Y, Mach-e, and Ionic 5. My only major concern with Hyundai (and Kia) is the build quality. I know it was eons ago, but I owned a 2002 Sedona and felt it fell apart quicker than other vehicles I've owned. How has been your experience with fit, finish, and build quality?
I own an Ioniq 5 for 7 months now and couldn't be more happy with the quality. My son owns a Tesla model 3, while the technology is superior, the ride and comfort is not. On my first trip to an EA station I met a guy who owned 2 Mach-e's that he was going to trade in. So take my experience for what it's worth and good luck.
I have a 2022 Ioniq 5 and I watch your videos, You advertise that the panel to the left of the steering wheel is magnetic. Mine does not seem to be magnetic. I've tried multiple magnetic devices and nothing works. Is this something that changed because mine does not work with magnetic anything. would love your comment thanks
@@TheIoniqGuy got it thanks so you need a magnetic device. That makes sense. Hey question for you since you are well versed and updated in the vehicle. I had my vehicle into the dealer because my vehicle will not charge on Maximun with a 40amp charger. It’s turns off after about 40 minutes sometimes longer. So they only way I can get it to charge is using the minimum setting with the 40amp level 2 charger. When I got to EA it charges fine no issues. Hyundai did some testing and they said it works fine. Turns out they use a charge point charger at 32 amp. So that was a worthless exercise. Kind of frustrated it will not charge on maximum setting on a 40amp device. I have a juicebox 40 level 2 charger. Have you heard of this before?
Hyundai is aware that there is something going on. I spoke with one of their engineers last week and he said that their R&D division here in the US is investigating. It certainly is very frustrating though. I've reset my ChargePoint homeflex several times because I had something similar happen but after resetting it it went back to 50A. So my guess was it was the EVSE not the car itself.
That AI failure stuff is unsettlingm EVs really need to get as reliable as gas stations. You should not have to troubleshoot daily your EV commute at all, Evs sort of suck

ABRP has always worked for me so I'm surprised you had those issues. Plus I'm in the DC area and has worked great for longer trips like to FL.
You probably took the high traffic east coast highway I95. Looks like an avg speed of 60mph & efficiency of 3.6mi/kwh which is just awesome. TY.
For the most part but I bypassed I95 in Philadelphia by way of NJ turnpike
Hahahhaha props to your friend for trying to, not necessarily succeeding, keep it together while filming lol
I had to keep it in lol
ABRP you can set the charging network to only plan Electrified America chargers, that should resolve your issues.
It was set to EA only. It just poorly chose EA stations not on my route
Thanks for a great video! Would be nice to see more what’s going during the drive!
Doing our 1st road trip next month in our I5, Maryland to Tennessee. Plan is to use ABRP and Waze. Can’t wait. Glad you had good EA experiences which is my main concern especially as we go more south.

I was actually on level 2 because I needed to top off quick. I emailed one of their lead engineers but haven't gotten a response back yet.
It’s a bug in your latest software update. The same was with Kia and there was a fix for it just a couple of days ago. In Europe that is btw
thnx for adding the metric details

migo-that is interesting recording~see you later- 🖐
Any word on the no AC while being plugged in? I too tried to cool my car down in the garage while plugged in and got nowhere.
I emailed Hyundai's engineers but haven't gotten a response
