Hyundai Ioniq 5, EV6, GV60 - How To Get Better Range & Efficiency (3 Key Tips)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 มิ.ย. 2024
- Have you never broken 300 miles of estimated range? Have you struggled to reach the epa rating for your model and trim for your Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6 or Genesis GV60?
I managed to hit 367 miles of estimated range on my AWD Limited Hyundai Ioniq 5 and am routinely seeing over 300 miles of estimated range. With the recent warmer weather, the estimate has been consistently over 350 miles of estimated range so I'm guessing I'm doing something right? In this video I provide 3 key tips that should help increase your range and get better efficiency. I also provide a couple other range saving tips for when you need those extra few miles.
Do you have any tips or tricks to increase range and maximize efficiency?

These cars have incredible coasting ability on 0 regen. I find setting regen to 0, coasting on highways, then holiding the left lever to induce regen braking manually works best.
Ya that does work really well. Some people don't like the jarring brake feel from Max Regen though. I don't mind it when it's just me in the car.
Otherwise I have to use the accelerator pedal to smooth out max regen but that means my rear brake lights won't be on.
I find that the Driver only setting is only efficient once the cabin temp has been reached. I have an hour drive to work then an hour drive home. Once the temps reached over 100 I found that the Driver Only AC was having to run at over 1 kW often times running at 1.4 range for most of my drive home. However, when I started with all the vent on then switched to Driver Only AC once the car cooled I was getting much better usage, with all vents open is was only running at .8 kW and when I switched to driver only it would go down to the .4-.5 kW range. At milder temps there isn't much difference between driver only and all vents open.
Oooh wow very interesting, I never really tested in depth. I only toggled it on and off and saw the dips in estimated range. But what you are saying makes a lot of sense. On hot days the car will just keep the system running for longer if it's not reaching the preset temp vs letting it hit the preset temp asap and then using driver only mode to keep it there. Very helpful tip!
Terrific video! You have a great sense of how to present information, both your speaking voice and howand when you use the camera. Thank you for taking the time to 1) learn this, which is not easy and 2) sharing it with the public.
Much appreciated and glad to hear you enjoyed it!
Great tips as usual… Just bought a new Ionic 5 so I’ll be trying them out
Thanks, hope you enjoy the new car!
love all your ioniq 5 videos, they're well made and very detailed. I'm a bit jealous you've got the genesis and the iq5.I've put ina deposit for ev6 2 years min wait and iq5 for 3-4 years wait in my area. Hope it comes sooner, going to watch a few more of your videos now
Thanks!
I'm very fortunate/blessed to be in this situation. We have access to more allocations out here otherwise I doubt I would have been able to get either.
Hoping you get something sooner than that!
3-4 years? Good grief!
I’ve had 420 miles range , no highway driving though all back roads , took a bit longer but hey I had fun on the new roads .
thank you so much, Excellent video, good advise
You are welcome!
THANKS SO MUCH. What a revelation. I got my Ioniq 5 last month and I was wondering why my car was so damn thirsty on the highway "despite" the fact I used i-pedal mode all the time because I figured that was how to get the maximum amount of regen and therefore the maximum amount of range. I've been handicapping myself the whole time!
You're welcome! Hope your range and efficiency increase! Very common mistake, I thought the same thing for awhile too :)
That was my understanding as well. Glad I came across this video and will stop using i-pedal exclusively. Thank you!
Thanks for this video!! I'm really trying to learn how to maximize range but just enjoy my car as well. I'll try these tips and see. I'd be happy with 300 miles for sure. I'm mostly getting 240 on an 80% charge.
Looking forward to your auto regen video!
Sure thing! Hope you hit that 300 mile range!
240 / 0.8 = 300 So really you are there already- I also charge to just 80% routinely and sometimes see 270 miles range at 80%- only charge to 100% before longer (172 mile) trips.
@@roger6246 I'd love 270! Hope I see that too!
Thanks for these tips! Had my 2023 AWD SEL for ~600 miles, just filled up and got an estimated 355 mi!
Wow very nice! You're welcome!
Good Video, I bought a EV6 GT and knew I wasn't getting the greatest range with that beast but adopting many similar methods in driving and learning a few more watching this the GT is not too bad. I do live in Australia so its perfect battery weather 6 months of the year, our winters are mild and summers hot so range here is good. In America this car gets a 206 mile rating but in Australia its more like 250 mile (400Km). I do easily get upwards of 400km range with sensible driving / regen, this is with the 580BHP, 21"wheels and Michelin Pilot Sport rubber. I just recently did a 265km run to a family get together which involved a lot of highway and some hills and had around 36% Battery when I got there. I have zero range anxiety with this car and it's the least efficient model out of all the siblings (not sure about the IQ5 N). Was super sceptical about EV until recently getting this Kia, I will never go back to Petrol / Diesel.
Glad to hear the video has helped! Ya 200 miles is plenty for most occasions, my gv60 performance is pretty close in range to the ev6 gt and it's been fine for me for what I need.
I don't think I'll be going back to petrol either :)
Yes nice, the GV60 is a very good bit of kit.
I ordered Limited Trim AWD in Japan on mid May and now wating for delivery. I’m always keep watching your great instructions about how to be more effective drivig with fun. Amazing that you can show the Paddle and Pedal control at the same time which is really helpful to learn even my IONIQ5 has not delivered yet.
Glad to hear my videos have been helpful! How long before delivery in Japan?
My wife and I visited Japan a few years ago and can't wait to go back!
@@CarsJubilee Hyundai said waiting 2~4 months delivery time in Japan ‘cause Hyundai stopped sales in Japan about 10 years ago and they re-started with IONIQ5 and NEXO which they have cinfidence their performance at this time in Japan market.
I know other countris are waiting more time so as KIA EV6.
Hopefully, you and your wife can see many IONIQ5 in Japan at the time you guys visit Japan next time😄
Oh wow I had no idea they weren't selling in Japan until recently! Glad they decided sell the ioniq 5 there.
Yes, really hoping to come back and see a bunch of Ioniq 5s! Are they selling the Kia ev6 or Genesis GV60 there?
@@CarsJubilee Unfortunately they are not in 2022. Maybe starts from 2023? Still Japan is not EV friendly? market compared with U.S., Europe and China.🤣
I also have a Limited AWD. I only have 1000 miles so far. I have always been a conservative driver. I have never gone from 100% to 0 percent, but estimating from the various charging cycles, I am getting about 300 miles of range, so your 367 miles is super impressive. I have no way to charge the car, so I use the local EA stations.
300 miles of range is still way above epa rating so you must be doing it right :)
I have level 1 charging at home but I don't use it, I've been charging at EA since we have 2 years of free charging. The manual says to charge to 100% about once per month, this was actually my first time charging to 100% but I guess it would be tough for you without level 1 charging.
On Regen 2 and drive reasonable I gain 10 to 20 miles increase. Also, I use the quick response from electric motor to move forward from lights I avoid all the cars piled up behind me. This allows me to avoid unsafe drivers moving around in lanes behind me.
Again, some more good info. I pretty much follow all your three operating tips too. It seems to work for me as well.
My biggest concern right now, is driving through mountain roads because in August we will be driving from Houston to Denver. So, I really don't know what to expect regarding the eff. and how it will affect my range. I know it will be lower, but not sure by how much.
Keep up the good work!
Ah that's awesome we must have similar driving habits :)
I live in a pretty hilly area of the city so lots of elevation changes. At least for my commute, it ends up evening out. Excellent efficiency on the downhill elevation commute into work and then so so efficiency on the uphill elevation commute back home. So you might get really bad efficiency on the way up but it should hopefully balance out on the way down and hopefully your efficiency numbers fall close to what you normally see by the end of it.
I see high 2s and low 3s (mi/kWh) when I'm going up long stretches of uphill climbs but then the sky is the limit for downhills. I've seen stretches of 999 mi/kWh over about 2 miles of flat or steady declines.
I have not found driving mountain roads here in Colorado to have that much impact on overall range. Driving speed is the biggest hit on range. Most of our mountain roads have speed limits less than 65 mph which favors better range.
367 miles GOM with a Ltd AWD? That is one charmed car... 🙂
This video resolved for me a conundrum: when to coast. I was under the mistaken impression that anytime I were to release the accelerator, I wanted to be regen-ing. But releasing the accelerator does not always mean I intend to slow down, and coasting at Level 0 definitely has its place in smart driving. I will start doing that more often.
Haha charmed car that never gets to go very fast thanks to city living and traffic.
Especially in hilly areas, level 0 regen coasting can take you pretty far up the next hill. The only issue there is making sure you regen early enough for when you need to stop.
Best regen setting is auto regen, as it will change regen setting including up to just coasting depending on the driving situation. Going down the highway with not other car in front? It will decrease regen as keeping your momentum is more efficient etc. or increase regen when downhill or other cars in front .
Ya I agree, auto regen is amazing. In the right conditions it's one pedal driving at its finest.
I reviewed the video and took alot of notes. Just picked up a Ioniq 5 limited AWD. i am leasing it for 2 years 24 months 12k miles a year. I got 2 years free charging using electrify America. I only paid about 7250 down no payments after. This is great information and appreciate the findings and will try to implement these techniques when traveling the next 2 years out of state. However since I have a 350kw charger only 8 miles away that is free for 2 years , i will be driving in sport mode most of the time on level 0 . I do not plan on keeping the 2024 ioniq 5 as the 2025 will be significantly improved . I guess to get the best launch do you turn traction control off , go to sport , turn off AC/heat and level 0 ?
Thanks😁
Good info😮
Thanks!
Thanks!
Thank you, very much appreciated!
I have an EV6 - it’s my first EV - and what I’ve found is that Lvl 2 is a great transition point for anyone coming over from an ICE car; it has an appropriate amount of resistance that feels like an ICE slowing the car down, and gives a decent level of regen. A good set-and-forget option!
Nice! Ioniq 5 was my first EV as well, definitely a learning curve.
I agree level 2 is a very good starting point for set it and forget it. My wife is typically in level 2 or level 3 Regen and she's not the type to want to play around with Regen settings.
@@CarsJubilee I totally understand that; it can be overwhelming with all the choices!
Great vid as usual I have a RWD Therefore I am thinking that I pedal will still be efficient with constant use as I have no front motor to engage.
Thanks! Ya I'm really curious how the levels compare between AWD and RWD (your ipedal vs AWD ipedal) and I think you are right that ipedal should be good for you in pretty much all conditions without a front motor.
I’ve had my Awd ev6 for a year. I drive a 90 mile route on the regular. The first 30 miles is 70 mph expressway way the rest is suburban Chicago surface roads. When it’s 55-65° I use 25% of the battery in normal mode, auto setting 3 no ac or heat. Keeping the same road mix and pace = 360 miles or so. No need to drive slow just smooth, no hurry up and stop.
Hmm interesting why auto regen level 3? That's essentially the same as manual level 3. You aren't letting it dip into the lower levels in auto. If you switch to the lowest level in auto it will let the system choose between level 1 through level 3 based on traffic ahead.
Very nice efficiency, driving smooth is very important like you said. I say to drive slow because a lot of people are driving 80mph and confused why their efficiency is low. At higher speeds, even if you are driving smoothly your efficiency drops substantially.
@@CarsJubilee I mainly like the braking feel of the level 3, especially in areas with more stop lights. It is easier to roll to almost a stop, then tap the brakes. I’ve been playing more with auto with level 1 , on expressway and more rural roads. I like the lighter throttle feel . In the city, top speed is 35 mph, I just go i pedal and sport mode and still get 4.3 m/kWh. With all the torque we have light throttle inputs still reap good pull from stop.
Ioniq 6 RWD 420 miles
Thank you for video
Wow that's awesome range! You're welcome!
iPedal is fine for RWD and can be very efficient, sometimes more so than any other, especially in stop- go traffic.
On hwy in traffic it's most efficient to turn on HDA on eco and leave the car to follow.
Ah yes that's correct, for RWD there is no efficiency penalty for using iPedal like there is with the AWD models. I've heard RWD owners get some crazy range numbers.
Thanks for the tips, as part of the vehicle's stability feature (aka anti sideskid or anti front wheel skid) does the all wheel drive kick in to help regain stability? 4 wheel drive is useful at higher speeds on dirt or slippery roads to regain control in an emergency as well as to aid an emergency avoidance (aka the elk test) on dry roads. Most cars have an indicator light when stability programs is activated, perhaps this can be tested in an appropriate location?
That's my understanding that it will kick back on if it detects wheelspin even in eco mode. Haven't tried that out, maybe come winter time in the snow.
I don’t often charge to 100% but recently did just before a 187 mile road trip. The I5 range estimate showed 402 miles. That reflected the previous weeks of mostly town driving. Our road trip was primarily on mountain highways with speed limits 55-65 mph. The estimated range remaining after 187 miles showed 146 miles. SE AWD
Whoaaa, that's the highest I've heard yet! And even the 330ish of actual/projected miles at the end is still excellent.
It's wild to see some of our Ioniq 5s getting almost double of what some other owners are getting. I've heard of people getting only 200 miles estimated range on full charge. They must be driving in sport mode or ipedal regen and going 90mph?
@@CarsJubilee I am not sure how realistic that estimate was.
Our overall efficiency after 4,300 miles shows 4.3 mi/kWh. That suggests over 300-330 miles of range depending on how much of the 77.4 kWh battery pack is actually useable. The take away for me is that actual range varies widely depending upon the conditions the car experiences.
That's excellent overall efficiency! Seems like an EV is perfect for your usage with that kind of efficiency. Definitely agree about conditions playing such a big role in range and efficiency.
@@COSolar6419 Our overall efficiency after 6,050 miles is 3.9 miles/kWh. About 50% highway driving. It would be even better if I went 55 but I usually go 60 on trips. Around town driving gives tremendous range- so if I was ever running low on battery I would just switch to 40 mph roads to extend the range.
I never drive above the speed limit. Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's. No need to be the first off the blocks at a stoplight, but then I also drive a Toyota Dolphin Motorhome...
Bought mine in Feb also it's an se awd and I'm seeing about 240 ish at 80%. Went to 100 3 times on trips and last time I believe was showing like 280 ish. I keep in ipedal all time time but i use the hda generaly any time im on the hwy. But almost 12,000 miles and still going strong. My cross traffic sensors aren't working but other then that all good
That's great to hear that all is good 12,000 miles in!
Interesting about the cross traffic alerts, have you booked it for service?
@@CarsJubilee yeah Aug 29 there looking at it its the back up sensors and cross traffic. But other then the message when I start the car still drives like the day I bought it
Glad to hear, hope the dealer gets it resolved quickly.
Great video! Didn't know that the car used both engines at lower speeds, I'll definitely take note of that. I'll also start using the pedals more often, and do lower speeds. The added benefit of not getting a speeding ticket is of course welcome! Right now our car estimates 195 miles at 80%, but I like to believe that's because of the cold-ish weather.
I think it's important to mention that one shouldn't exclusively use the regen though. Our dealer said that they've had to change the brakes on 1-year-old EV's because of corrosion, which builds up if the brakes aren't used at all. So I try to use the regen as much as possible, occasionally switching to level 0 and doing some harder braking to clean the brakes. I don't know if this is an issue in all areas though. But I do see the danger here in Norway with snow and salt all over the place...
Thanks! Ya this dual motor setup is able to get some really good efficiency in warm weather. But once cold weather hits, cold weather wins haha.
Since I drive in the city, I do end up having to use the brake pedal every so often. And I do use level 0 occasionally as well so it should be doing the brake cleaning cycle as you mentioned.
Hopefully that's enough, guess I'll see how things look after the winter season.
Yeah, you won't realistically see much more than 300km in European winter and European traffic. The notorious Norwegian slow driving is compensated for by the particularly bad weather. During the summer you should see much better values. Driving at 100kph in dry, warmish (15-25 Celsius) I get WLTP range (500-520km) with my 77kWh/RWD I5.
Mate, one hour drive to work each way 😳 That's a bigger waste of time and money than I was prepared to accept. I'd move or look for a job closer to home.
One option I wish you had covered was using level zero exclusively, paired with heavy use of the left paddle to slow down.
I found it to be a very effective way to maximize regen, at the expense of less comfortable braking, as holding down the paddle takes you to max regen immediately.
Hey Faiz, that's a great one that I thought about including as well. But I did that in depth before and felt like I wanted to do a more simple tips video for owners that don't want to play around with the paddles.
I actually do that but with Auto, which on the lowest setting (via the infotainment screen) is almost the same as level 0. But then it will auto increase brake regen but disengages below mph so at that point I hold the left paddle and smooth it out with the accelerator pedal as needed.
The best part is just how customizable this thing is, everyone can drive their own way. Yours would definitely net some great efficiency for people interested in playing around with the paddles.
Here's the 2 part series on that a while back:
th-cam.com/video/kO3K0B6n5OY/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/fGRgz0LrJpU/w-d-xo.html
I'll add video cards so they show up as a link and I'll throw them in the description later as well, thanks for the feedback.
To improve comfort: holding the left paddle is identically equal to "temporary i-pedal." Specifically, you can still use the accelerator while holding the paddle. Grab the paddle and press down a little on the accelerator at the same time and you'll seamlessly transition without any jerk, then can let off the pedal to slow down as you please. It doesn't have to be all-or-nothing.
Hi hope you are well
Another great review
Just wanted to ask do you see a significant drop in range of mileage during winter months, considering your obviously using heated seats radio , heater etc
Look forward to your reply
Hey Derek thanks!
It really varies person to person, driving conditions etc.
Drivers that struggle to see epa ratings during warm weather could see their range get halved in extreme winter conditions.
I tend to fall on the more efficient side of things. We've had mostly 40F-45F weather. With the heat on comfortably I'm probably right around 230-240 miles of highway range going near the speed limits.
@@CarsJubilee ah cool sounds very good
Much appreciated as always take care
Sorry to bother you again what is the average service cost on the car please
Good video 👍 One question. In settings are you using Strong, medium or soft deceleration in the settings? Thanks.
That's my next video! Going in depth on the auto regen haha. I've been trying them out and I'm somewhere between medium and gentle (I think that's what the car called it). I don't like the feel of a heavy pedal so I think leaning towards gentle so I get the lightest pedal feel possible.
How about you?
@@CarsJubilee Same, I find auto and ‘soft’ as it is called in UK cars, the best at present it allows me to gently coast to a stop and regen without a hard lurch in braking. Or on the highway gently slow down when needed as the auto regen also measures the distance from the car in front, like in cruise control.
Ahhh interesting didn't realize they used different vocab for the menus in different English speaking markets!
Auto regen has been fantastic once I learned the parameters of what it can and cannot do. I do wish though that it could initiate max regen for full stops. Not sure if it's the same programming over there but ours disengages around 6mph and we have to take over braking if using auto regen.
@@CarsJubilee Yes, same here, usually need to touch the brake at about 5mph. However still experimenting as sometimes the car does come to a stop on its own, this maybe because I am on a slight incline but not totally sure.
Ahhh okay, our manual says it doesn't function below 6mph so I'm guessing the same for you. So I end up holding the left paddle to initiate max regen and use the accelerator pedal to smooth out the stop if I know it's going to be rough.
Thank great video. So do you recommend rwd or awd when buying this model?
Thanks! Ah depends what you need? If you want a little more range RWD is the better option. If you want more power the AWD is a lot of fun. I live on the east coast so we get snow so the AWD is the better option for me plus I prefer more power 😂
@@CarsJubilee I originally wanted RWD for the range but I'm really happy with my SEL AWD since it routinely shows 300+ miles at full charge. Best for us so far was 340 miles. Lifetime efficiency is 3.9 miles per kWh with 6,000 miles. That is equal to 6.3 km/kWh. With 77 kWh usable battery that is an average of 300 miles so way better than the EPA 256 mile rating. This could be much higher but it is so fun to accelerate quickly when demonstrating the power of an electric car to others.
That's great efficiency! It's crazy how much we are able to exceed the EPA rating, I'm in that 340 mile estimated range as well so we must drive similarly :)
I find the climate controls use a lot, for that reason I drive with my dogs, they help with heating the cabin.
Haha nice! Yes climate control does use up a lot of electricity.
I just got a 2024 Sonata Hybrid Limited and I've been trying to figure out the best way to regen too. It seems to work similar to the Ioniq. One thing I noticed though is that using the paddles vs brake pedal seems to give different results on the power gauge. For example, if I use regen level 3 the gauge goes almost all the way to max and I feel the car decelerate fairly quickly. If I use the brake pedal instead and brake until the gauge is around the same area or maxed, I feel less deceleration. It almost seems like the brake pedal is giving me more regen at less braking power but that doesn't make sense. I just wonder when the disc brakes actually come into play. I would think once the gauge is at max regen. Does the Ioniq behave this way too and which way would you recommend braking?
Very cool that the Sonata hybrid has multi level regen! Makes me want to try it out haha.
I haven't noticed that difference between brake pedal vs paddle deceleration but truthfully I use the paddles 99% of the time and only use the physical brake pedal in emergency stops.
I live in Portland area. This makes me want to get it compared to the Model Y which is much more expensive. Or the EV6. Do these suggestions work on that as well.
Definitely a good competitor to the model Y based on my research when I cross shopped them.
Ioniq 5 and EV6 are pretty much the same the cars with different exterior and interior. So these tips and tricks should work exactly the same. I believe the EV6 has a lower drag coefficient so actually may get slightly better range than the ioniq 5.
About Regen Level 0 using friction brakes... That seems opposite of Kia Niro EV, were all regen levels, including level 0, will use regen brake as much as possible until it can't any more, then it will use friction brakes. That's a well known fact for Niro EV. I use level 0 with smart regen almost exclusive , as I like to coast as much as possible.
Very interesting, I heard from someone else too that auto regen on Kona EV is just one setting on/off.
Manual level 0 regen for the Ioniq5 means the Regen system is basically off. In auto regen we technically can't get to level 0 regen. The closest thing is what I call level 0.25 and that one does use regen.
Very interesting that Hyundai Kia made auto regen different between our cars since the other levels are the same.
I think I have spent $160 charging my ioniq5 in one month!, I use auto regen level 3 a lot but will try just letting auto regen choose appropriate levels. Hopefully that will help with efficiency.
Ya definitely try auto regen in there lowest setting and see how well it works for you.
Auto Regen at the highest setting is essentially manual regen level 3. It doesn't let auto change anything.
greetings from Indonesia 🇮🇩 thanks for the great tips as always, I am now mostly on auto regen ever since I saw your video, I'm getting 7.5-9km/kWh on my trips 😁
Glad my videos are helping from all the way across the world!
Whoa that's some good efficiency!
@@CarsJubilee yea we don't have the AWD version here 😀
Ah that's too bad, at least you can still get a fully loaded RWD then!
Sure says that at start. But how many of those polled actually netted out at that. The scientific tests like Rsymons had hyundai i5 as much less real world in moderate weather.
It's interesting to see many drivers of very fast EV cars (AWD Ioniq 5/6, EV6, etc, etc) advocate driving slowly and not engaging in traffic light grand prix. Maybe you guys have snowy winters and can't live without AWD, but wouldn't it be better to buy the RWD and ignore the 320+ BHP stuff.
I am about to buy an Ioniq 6, drove the AWD yesterday, and feel that only ECO mode suited my EV driving style. A 1 second cut in acceleration time would be ideal for me. But the 2.5 second reduction in 0-60 is not worth the extra cost of the car, drop in efficiency, and extra weight. Especially when I won't actually use it. Are there any RWD drivers smirking at the moment?
what is happening with regen when you use driver assist on the highway? is it defaulted to ipedal? thanks Fred
The car is taking over regen for you and will apply regen in the most efficient way it can. Anywhere from 0 regen to max regen (ipedal).
I've seen 547km of range after a 100% charge in preparation for a trip in my RWD. I am interested in what is happening with cruise control on. I typically drive by cycling through the Regen levels as you do. So on a trip I will be in Regen level 0 and then set the cruise control. Would it be better to be in Auto Regen and then set the cruise? Would that improve efficiency on long trips? (I just drove 1,500 km yesterday with the cruise at 103km for a lot of it and saw 5.2km/kWh...I have no idea if that is decent or not.... very hilly terrain.)
5.2km/kWh sounds pretty normal in hilly terrain, that's around what I see in my local hilly terrain too on upward climbs. But if it's round trip usually my avg gets bumped back up on the drive back down.
If you drive a few km slower, your efficiency may jump up a bit. The difference between 88kmh and 100kmh for me was about an extra +1.5km/kWh in efficiency. And apparently wind can play a huge factor but that's out of our control hah.
Based on what I can feel and see when using the adaptive cruise via HDA, I personally think it's using the auto regen system (but in this case it has access to max regen/ipedal) to vary the braking as needed using the cars sensors and scanning ahead. Auto regen can't do full stops so HDA must be adding max regen to it. When HDA brakes I can see the power gauge on the right dip into regen so that's what makes me think it's doing auto regen on it's own and figuring out what's best. I don't think it will matter what regen level we are in when entering HDA/adaptive cruise if that's truly the case because the car will try to drive itself as efficiently as possible.
I've heard the only thing that affects how HDA/adaptive cruise functions is choosing the drive modes. Eco will produce or adopt a more efficient HDA driving style vs normal which might be a bit more aggressive with the accelerator and then sport which may be even more aggressive. But I haven't checked that yet so not sure if it's true, but it would make sense.
Hope that all makes sense haha
Yes I think you are correct as I have seen the Regen coming on when going down hills in cruise control after entering cruise from Level 0. Makes sense as it is maintaining a steady speed. Going down hills in Level 0 will accelerate the car. I always drive in Eco, although this trip I did use Sport a couple of times for passing. The TransCanada highway is only 2 lanes in a lot of Northern Ontario! And yes, 88kph will be better for efficiency, but my 1,500km trip took 18 hours! I'm not driving slower!!!!
Hahaha that's true, 1500km and 18 hours is quite a trip!
Hilly terrain or not....With an EV this does not make much difference...The extra energy used for climbing will be earned back when going down again. Especially when the kills are not to steep so regen is enough to keep the speed in balance downkill.
I do have a limited (project 45) for one year now.
Energy usage differs depending wether conditions (rain , wind) and temperature.
Wit your speed (the allowed maximum in the Netherlands) I always use ASCC. When not using the ascc (outside highways) I use the pedals for regen level as told in the video.
I-pedal only on slow town roads.
With nearly no wind, no rain, temperature between 18 and 23 degrees celsius I will go ca 6 km/kwh when driving that 103 km/h (163 wh/km).
In winter, zero to 3 degrees celsius and heating in use the car will consume just below 200 wh/km (5.0 km/kwh).
When you slow down the car to 102 km/h you'll add 2% to your range. When going 100 (3% slower) you'll add 6% to your range.
This 2% for every km slower (on the range calculated with 100 km/h) will go on at least to 70 km/h speed (with constant speed driving...not in towns or file driving).
This calculation also works when driving faste...but then it is decreasing your range with 2% for 1 km/h faster.
About your 1500 km.....
But having a long range is not the same as reaching your destination in the sortest time on long trips.
Due to the charging speed (with 800V 350KW chargers) the fastes travel I can reach is ca 125 km/h, charging after ca 2 hours of driving (and making a toilet visit...drinking a coffee). The accu is not empty after those 2 hours and with 80% to 90% after charging I can go the next 250 km.
This 250 km is mentioned because on my more regular long distance travels I can find the fast chargers (ionity) at an interval between 250 and 260 km from each other.
There are more of those chargers around, I can also choose for every 375 km charging....but I'll loose more time due to driving 100 km/h then 125 km/h then I earn back with missing one charge session in 750 km travel. And also the charging stops after 350 km will require longer than after 250 km.
My longest trip is not 1500 km but 1250 km. 250 of those are no highway, slow driving .
Done that with my EV in 15 hours. (the first 1000 km in only 11 hours including a charging at the end of the 1000 km.)
@@reiniernn9071 great tips and thanks for sharing your personal experiences.
I definitely am seeing much better range and efficiency now that the weather is warmer but I feel like I've learned so much more about how to drive more efficiently that I wonder if I'll see much better winter efficiency this coming winter.
Hi greetings from Sweden
thanks for tuning in!
What about smart cruise control? Does it use braking regen or traditional friction brake when used by the system.
Uses regen braking as much as possible, will use friction brakes if it needs additional stopping power.
Ye i have used it whilst having the consumption live and i can see it uses.
Your suggestions also applies to the Kia EV6?
Yes 100% applies to ev6!
Hi Victor, I pick up my 2023 Limited AWD in one week. I will be driving back in very cold weather. Is the level of battery charge fairly lineal compared to range? For instance, if cold weather range drops to 220 miles at full charge but you are only charging to 80% would you then expect the range to drop to 176? Thanks in advance for your help!
Hey Gary, excited for you!
Yes it's pretty linear though you may still have a couple miles of extra range left even beyond 0%.
@@CarsJubilee thanks! There are EA charging stations spaced 80-150 miles apart on our 1,100 mile return trip. I think we’ll just stop often and top off to 80% each time.
@@CarsJubilee Hi Victor. I picked up my new Ioniq5 Limited in upstate Montana last week. The drive back was "interesting" as we hit that huge snow storm on day 1 and had to stop for the night. The next day when doing my first charge it was -15 degrees with a windchill of -40!!! Obviously at those temps my range and charging times were hit pretty hard! We actually stopped pretty early each charging station so as not have range anxiety. There were times where I was getting less than 2miles/kWh! Finally made it home to Colorado where the temps were much nicer. The car did very well other than the outside rearview mirrors freezing and not moving and the rear passenger door handle also wouldn't close sometimes due to cold/ice... LOL Overall very happy with it and I'm excited to try the various drive modes, reg levels, etc especially when the temps get nicer. Thanks again for all of your great advice on your channel!
Oh wow what a drive home Gary! At least you got to drive your Ioniq 5 in worst case scenario conditions so you'll know exactly what to expect in the future!
That's crazy low efficiency but you really were driving in pretty much worst case conditions so all in all sounds like the Ioniq 5 did great!
Hope you have a ton of fun messing around with the regen, glad I could help!
@@CarsJubilee Thanks Victor! Yes, it was quite a white-knuckle drive at times in the blizzard and afterwards with just blowing snow. I'm still experimenting with the regen levels and such. I used my home Level 2 charger today and found that if I charge during "off-peak" hours it's a whopping 75% cheaper! Again, thanks again for all of your informative videos. Good luck with your GV60, that's got to be frustrating (and dangerous).
I've tried Auto Regen but didn't like it. It runs right up behind the cars in front of you and seems to slam on the regen at the last second. Kind of unnerving to use. I usually just use 2 or 3 and can often slow down needing the brakes. Even when you do step on the brakes it increases regen even more before you get to the friction brakes. We just ours this winter so we have no idea what kind of range we will get when it's above 50F, likely a better.
It definitely takes some getting used to. It's great for slow moving traffic and highway style driving. But it's not good for when there's a car stopped way ahead of you (stop light driving) because like you said it won't brake until too late.
But manual regen is excellent, so can't go wrong either way.
Ya you'll see huge increase in range once it's in the 60s and 70s.
The only thing that confuses me is the auto mode on the kona you had only one setting it was either on or off on the ionqi 5 there seems to be 3 setting but i dont really see any difference between the 3 mine just seems to act the same as regen 1 to 3 it seems to react the same even if there is no other car in front of me as soon as i lift off it regens even on a clear road where in the kona it wouldnt regen unless i was close to another car in front maybe i am doing something wrong or it is not working as it should.
The auto regen took some real patience and luck on my part where I saw it suddenly working and started to figure out how and why it was doing what it was doing.
There's actually some hidden levels so we actually can access up to 6 different auto regen levels. Video should be out Monday, that should help clear up what's going on....or make you even more confused hahah. Let me know after Monday's video if you still have questions. It's too complex to explain here without me giving some visual aides I think.
@@CarsJubilee thanks for that I will watch on Monday with great interest as it’s something that really baffles me and it will be great to know what I am doing at last.
I find it really weird that the brakes don’t regen in zero. Our Kona essentially never uses the friction brakes. It uses the absurdly strong regen (150kW) almost exclusively except the last 3 MPH unless you use the paddle to stop. I actually don’t mind that since it keeps the brakes clean and stopping the car with the paddle actually uses electricity to hold the car in place. Not much, but still.
I think that's by design, which I'm glad they did. I want to have the ability to coast, if they didn't have a no-regen level then I'd be stuck unable to coast.
I think the current setup of having levels 0-3 plus ipedal plus auto regen is pretty close to perfect. With these at my disposal I also never use the friction brakes but I also don't have to keep my foot on the accelerator to constantly modulate braking with regen. I just let go of the pedal and use the paddles to decelerate smoothly as needed.
Thanks for this important video. You make a lot of good points. However, let me clear up some common myths. One is that in Eco the front wheel drive won’t come on above 15mph. It does. You just have to go up or down a slope that is higher than around 7%. It is automatic and happens at any speed and there is nothing you can do about it. It may be helpful for regen when going down, but is probably mostly a waste when going up unless the road conditions are poor. On a related note, elevation gain and loss have a huge impact on range. The regen will recoup energy when going down, but it is not 1:1 when going up and you get only around half back of what you used to go up (depends on speed of course). So people living in mountains terrain will never get to your kind of range. The second myth is that the different levels of regen mean different regeneration by default and regen 0 has no regen. This is not true. In all levels do you get regen by using the brake pedal. However, if you use level 0 and end up braking quite late and hard, you get less regen that with higher levels. And higher levels of regen generally mean you will go slower. You can actually test this - go down a big mountain and use regen level 0 and see whether it charges the battery. It does! (I use the auto regen in Eco mode - it works for me in all situations.)
Oh very interesting, I have some pretty steep hills near me. I noticed that the front motor will disengage when going up hill if I am going more than 15 mph when I start going up hill. Sometimes I'll speed up to 20mph when going up hill and then let go of the accelerator for a few seconds so the front motor can disengage and then start accelerating again and the car shows the front motor disengaged. I have no idea whether I'm going up 7% slope or not though. Is this mentioned in the manual about 7%? I'll have to check this because I don't see this going down that slope either.
You are right technically about level 0 still doing some regen, I use the electricity use page which shows kW or -kW. Level 0 gets 0kW on flat surfaces and up to -1 or -2 on declines but that is almost nothing. The other levels see double digits on declines and IPedal can see well over -50kW. For actual brake pedal, it seems the same for me and maxes out at the -1 or -2 kW.
Good to hear auto regen works well for you, it really is a great system! I just wish it would do complete stops. The system cancels braking under 6mph according to the manual so that's my main complaint.
@@CarsJubilee The 7% is based on my experience. If you use a GPS (e.g. Garmin for cycling), you can check the actual incline quite easily if you drive slowly and see what the GPS says. (Actually, the GPS is not using GPS to measure the incline but a built-in hydrometer.)
If you want to experience the car without any regen whatsoever, charge it to 100% and drive down a hill. It will actually say that regen was disabled because the battery is full and then you see for the first time how the brakes actually feel without regen! Very different from with regen, whatever the level is (0 included).
Haha very good point!
is this the 73kw version? because the new 77kw version gives 10-15 miles more range with battery heating
Mine is the 77.4kW model with battery battery heating
I got 335 on my last road trip going 65-60mph
Very nice! Driving slower is the best thing you can do for range.
@@CarsJubilee yes absolutely, I have an EV6 wind AWD and I'm loving it
So driving in i-pdeal all the time should be good for the RWD model without loosing efficiency?
That's correct, it won't negatively affect efficiency like with AWD models.
It's definitely good for bringing the car to a full stop or in low speed driving situationally. Many believe switching between levels and coasting in level 0 when possible gets highest efficiency if that's what you are going for.
@@CarsJubilee nice. Thanks! I use I-pedal nearly all the time. I drive the RWD MY 2023 cyber grey. I’m love with the car. I know the power of the AWD. But in the end accelerate slowly is better for the battery and so RWD is good enough for me. :)
I have a 2017 IONIQ and when I use brakes only it still shows reg happening. But I do use the reg manually.
Looking to get the IONIQ 5 2025. (Bat 84 & rear wiper).
That bigger battery should really help get the ioniq 5 closer to the 300 mile range mark. Still won't quite get there with AWD doing 70mph but I think it'll get around 270-280 miles which is still decent range.
Haha lots of people are also waiting for that wiper.
@@CarsJubilee 60 is the speed limit here, so 300 is going to happen.
Nice! It's 55 here on my local high highway but once I hit the toll roads it goes up to 70.
I was getting around 280-290 going around 55-60mph so no doubt you will get 300 if you stick to that speed with the updated bigger battery.
Why sometimes when i pull the left regen pedal ( ioniq 6 )it doesnt change the i-pedal number and instead it shows some message that i dont understand what it means ?
That means you pulled and held it too long. That initiates max regen while you are holding it. That is the same as ipedal though so it should feel the same. That's just the shortcut to get max regen quickly, you can do it from any level, just hold it and you'll see max regen.
@@CarsJubilee thanks, so actually if i pull the left one continuously its like pressing the breaks but in this case it fills my battery with energy and thats the big plus ?
@achlabachla you got it! Regen braking is one of the coolest parts about owning an EV since you are saving wear and tear on your physical brake pads and discs and actually recouping energy and sending it back into the battery.
So, are you doing all that in Eco mode? Or in Normal? Wouldn't that make a significant difference?
I think the graph he showed touched on that, but I too would like to see more detail on that. What confused me about the graph is that the first data column and the last were both for under 15 mph. I wonder if that was a misprint...or was there something I am missing there.
I drive in pure normal drive mode, eco just fills the pedal response which I don't like. Other than that eco mode isn't really doing anything special to be more efficient. One of my more recent videos on the 4 common mistakes covers that.
What are the best regen choices when using cruise control 90% of the time?
If you are using cruise control then the car is taking over Regen duties so guessing you do mostly highway driving?
I'd probably do auto regen then in the lowest setting for the remaining driving. It's very similar to adaptive cruise control in that it will take over Regen duties but within certain parameters. Video coming soon for that one!
@@CarsJubilee I live in a semi-rural area but find that I use cruise control as soon as I leave the driveway. Even in town, the CC guarantees that I keep up with stop and go traffic and rear-ending someone is made impossible. On more open roads it helps me avoid speeding tickets (though I do run a Uniden R7 at all times🙂) and, with excellent lane-centering (2021 Santa Fe) I drive tension-free.
Ahh gotcha, then I guess no worries for you haha the adaptive cruise when it is on takes over Regen duties and you actually cannot override it so I guess it works out!
@@CarsJubilee Excellent, thanks.
Ahh gotcha, then I guess no worries for you haha the adaptive cruise when it is on takes over Regen duties and you actually cannot override it so I guess it works out! It seems to do a pretty good job efficiency wise anyways.
Hi very interesting video
I have Renault meagan iconic last week new, officially on Renault website it’s say 280 mi range, but when I charge home showing battery 100% - 235 mi I don’t understand why 235mi, im confused, I drive on eco, comfort .perso , still same other i charge showing full 195mi, something wrong with is or I’m missing something
Also regen on level 1 all the time
Please help or advise me
Many thanks
My guess is the temperatures are cold are your driving speed is high?
280 miles would only be achieved typically best case scenario if everything is perfect. Warm weather, driving at or below speed limit speeds, no wind or rain, ideal tire pressure etc. If one thing is off that could easily change the expected range.
@@CarsJubilee I’m driving on eco and comfort 20/40 mph
But I don’t understand after full charge why is not showing on display 280 mi!
Today full charge showing 190 mi I know it’s cold , but after full charge should show 280mi
I don’t know where is gone other 100 mi 😀
@rahimbigsmoke the display is only an estimate based on your recent drives. It will likely go up when the weather gets warmer and go down when weather gets colder.
Best thing you can do is manually track how many miles you are getting on a full charge. Again, will be less during cover weather as the heater uses a lot of the battery power.
Thank you 🙏
Atlantic Canada, these are my range numbers at 62 degrees, 385 kilometres at 100% charge. I have had the car an AWD Ultimate trim level for 1 month with combined city/highway driving. Seems low to me. Opinions?
It depends on quite a few factors beyond external temperatures so I can't say for sure.
How fast and aggressively do you drive? What level of regen? Lots of incline or uphill driving? Lots of idling with car on?
Also what battery size?
@@CarsJubilee not an aggressive driver, conservative actually. The battery size is 77.4 Kw. Regen varied from pedal to auto. Nothing much for hills mostly flat terrain. This is why is question the range. The stats show the EPA as 21.5 kms per 100 kms so I guess I should not expect more range (77.4/21.5=360 kms).
Is incredible! I have not seen in any other video of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 such autonomy...😳 In Europe it would be 591 km! 🤤😅😱 In a RWD it would be even higher, since it consumes less than the AWD...
You are right I think if I had a RWD model I would have seen well over 600km, Hyundai made a great EV :)
@@CarsJubilee Totally agree...👍 For this reason, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 has been chosen as the best design of the year, the best car of the year and the best electric vehicle of the year...👏
Does cruise control effect the range?
That's a great question, i know the adaptive cruise control definitely uses the regen system so theoretically it should be pretty efficient and can help you be more efficient if you struggle with efficient driving.
But the system can only 'see' as far as the sensors can detect so I personally feel that if I'm engaged and paying attention then I can do a better job because I can see farther ahead. But if I'm not fully engaged like on a long road trip, the adaptive cruise does a good job and should get you good efficiency numbers if you keep your speed close to the speed limit.
My range is way below this. I use similar driving methods. I am wondering if there is a problem with the car.
Weather and speed may be where we diverge. These were warm weather numbers and my daily commute involves sitting in traffic on the highway. Going 10 miles takes me about 30-40 minutes each morning.
What kind of efficiency have you seen?
Different countries have different battery sizes, so your numbers might be impossible in some regions.
Ah that's a great point. Even the US market is just starting to see a smaller capacity battery version hitting the dealerships.
So my numbers are definitely going to be towards the max of what an Ioniq 5 can get.
On the plus side, following the same tips should still get excellent efficiency and good range overall.
I wonder how many EV drivers are out there, who actually regularly use level-0 regen. If you're using it while driving downhill and want to get all the speed you can, I get why one would switch to lvl0. Maybe also to "clean the brakes" from time to time. But who in their right mind would use "level 0 exclusively" ?
Haha probably very few that use level 0 excluding. But I would say I use level 0 very very frequently.
Any time I don't need to be braking or slowing down, I am in level 0.
@@CarsJubilee Thanks for replying! I only had rental EVs for a few hundred miles in the past. I never needed to change the regen-mode for that. In the Polestar it felt like there was no regen while no pedals were pressed, until I actually pressed the brake pedal.
What kind of real world range were you seeing in colder winter freezing temps??
We had a weird winter where we got a few days of freezing temps at a time and then a few days around 40-45F so that may have thrown off my numbers but I was still seeing around 300 miles of range in my work commute conditions once I started driving more range consciously.
The first month of ownership in the winter and just having fun, I was probably seeing right around 240 miles estimated with the heater on.
Do all ioniq 5 owners charge to 100% state of charge every day?
I hope not! Haha in all seriousness pretty sure most don't. I've only done it once in the last 4-5 months of ownership.
The manual says to do it monthly so I've actually been lagging on that front.
If anything I'd guess that the majority of owners may have never charged to 100%
I charge to 80% routinely- but not every day. Standard commute is about 20 miles round trip so keep the battery between 50 and 80%. Only charge to 100% for longer trips (170 miles) just to have that cushion but I finished that trip with 49% battery- could have been 50% if I had not gone 60 mph. 55 mph gives really long range.
It doesnt make sense when level 0 doesnt use regen when pressing brake pedal. Ev engineer had one job: make the car coast when lifting and use regen when brake.
What was your actual range for that, 260 miles?
Actually pretty close to estimated, got around 345 miles.
Sitting in steady slow moving traffic on the highway is where EVs shine and that's my daily commute. This was best case scenario in warm weather conditions driving probably a steady 25mph over the course of a full week of commuting.
@@CarsJubilee Hyundai states longest range Ioniq 5 is EPA-est. range up to 303 miles
@EVPHASE ya epa rating is good to know but it's never going to be exactly accurate since it's a mix of speed and climate. Gas cars can routinely exceed EPA range as well, it all comes down to driving conditions. If they tested EPA ratings at 25mph they would gain probably 100 miles of range haha.
The reverse is also true, in the winter I often achieve less than epa.
The law says that slower traffic should stay right, so why don't you like driving in the right lane? Why do you get rock chips in the right lane?
Right lane is full of trucks and merging traffic. I typically stay in the middle lane and keep up with traffic.
Lots of construction vehicles hauling debris and sometimes actual rocks or gravel hahah.
@CarsJubilee
I know first hand about the rocks from trucks because it happened the first day with my new car in 2018. I felt like I was going to spit up my heart. But it didn't happen in the right lane. Thankfully, my new Ioniq 5 came with dent repair.
Drive slower? That’s really not exclusive to this car, as air resistance is the main issue with range. I will drive with traffic so as not to be a rolling road block.
Ya definitely not exclusive to this car but it's surprising how many people don't think it matters that much.
I drive with the flow of traffic typically but on occasion I have empty roads so I can drive 5mph above speed limit and get crazy good mileage on the highway.
The range is just not enough in Canada / winter
Haha I've heard about your winters and what it does to range =)
Agree. Add the wind on the prairies and you can get yourself in trouble.
@@CarsJubilee Yes Canada its persistent winter sucks. Don't move here.
Fine in Canada, just plug it in every night. It's generally only cold for a couple months nowadays, even less these past 2 years with the warmer winters. I'm also fortunate I can plug in for free at work, 10 hour shifts. These EVs aren't for everyone though.
Easy.. don't buy one. My AMC 242 is guaranteed to last 400,000 miles without any major problems. My vehicle was built in the 90s and it still runs perfect. Repairs are dirt cheap. I can replace my entire engine for $6,000.
Can you seat a family and luggage in your AMC? Can you do the 1/4 mile in 11 seconds in your AMC? Can you drive 1000 miles a month for roughly $60 bucks in your AMC?
@andrewmcmillan8110 AMC is an engine type. I can pack an entire house in this vehicle. I drive through blizzards on a regular basis. I can drive up the side of a mountain. My engine typically is running for 18 hours a day non-stop. $60? That price tag is temporary. Supply and demand. The more people who buy electric cars the more money you are going to pay to charge yours. The average repair bill on the electric car is roughly $30,000. If it can be repaired and that is a big if it turns out . The most extreme repair bill on my vehicle would be $6,000.
@@bryanshoemaker6120 sounds like you have a vehicle with an engine that suits you. My EV suits me just fine and saves lots of money on gas compared to my truck and my wife’s car. I just have the added benefit of 0-60 in 3.1 seconds. I also have a widebody turbo LS foxbody if I want to take out. The best part about the EV is I can depreciate it for my business so it costs me next to nothing. I also have a stupid long bumper to bumper warranty so nothing will come out of my pocket for repairs.
@andrewmcmillan8110 I'm sure somebody could make a good EV but nobody's making any good gasoline vehicles at the moment.
20,000 replace a heater core on a Land Rover. Suburban, $20 plastic part with a $4,000 repair bill. The new F-150. A little bit of moisture got into the tail light lens which then cause a systemic crash. It starts with your windows not rolling down. Slowly over a week other systems starts crashing and then your entire truck is dead. 40,000 repair bill. Just a little bit of moisture. My 1976 American Clipper has a thick layer of moss growing on the fuse box. It don't care.
I'm not Ev hater although anybody thinks that they're going to save the planet by driving an electric vehicle is delusional.
For the millions in my area it's about survivability. If you break down there is no calling AAA, no 911. If your vehicle breaks down then there is a very high probability of death. Half of the summer there is no electricity due to Fire and half of the winter there's no electricity due to blizzards. That's if you even have a power grid. I'm off grid.
The most popular vehicles here are the 1996 Cherokee and Grand Cherokee both with the AMC 242 and there was a lot of various 70s with the 440 under the hood. Both are well known for survivability.
The newer vehicles are such a problem that we are literally scouring the entire country for key vehicles, completely broken down even. We are spending many thousands, tens thousands of dollars rebuilding these things.
Tip #1 don’t drive on freeway
Freeway driving is doable if you keep your speed in check. I can get around 4.2 or 4.3 mi/kWh if I'm staying just under 60mph. Speed limit here is mostly 55mph on the local freeway anyways so for me that would still be above speed limit if I chose to stay at that speed.
At that kind of efficiency I would hit well over 300 miles of range on the freeway with AWD and AC running.
Someone else did a range test with AWD Limited at 60 or 65mph and they got similar efficiency at over 4 mi/kWh, forgot the channel but it's on TH-cam.
Hmmm who cares what the theoretical city range is? Just bragging rights? You can drive 367 miles driving 40mph? No way you can drive 367 miles at 70 mph.
What scenario would allow you to drive 350 miles in a day? Back roads at 55 mph? The car charges so fast better to drive 70 then spend 15 charging.
What if there's no charging station between your start point and end point and it's over 300 miles away?
What if there is a charging station but it's a 30 minute detour plus you have to add the time of actual charging?
And while the Ioniq 5 does charge super fast, EA stations are hit or miss. You might find a station where the chargers are down or not working properly. You might even get there and realize there's a line.
Those are the scenarios where I wouldn't drive 70mph. *Though I'm not saying to drive below speed limit. If speed limit is 70 then I would drive 70.
Spend over 50K and drive like a Grand- pa.....Why???
Hahah I still accelerate quickly when I want to and still manage good efficiency overall. But this EV has a comfortable cruiser feel, it's not a performance vehicle.
For my daily commutes in traffic, I'd rather drive relaxed and get good efficiently vs tailgating and trying to get to the front of the pack.
@@CarsJubilee I agree!! Thank you for having a good sense of humor! Lol. Hyundai have done fantastic job balancing fun to drive with comfort! I rented a Tesla and the rough suspension killed my back! Lol
Haha of course! Yes totally with you on the Tesla suspension as well.
@@CarsJubilee The absolute nutty thing is the backlash I get from Tesla owners when I mention that fact! Lol. I think Tesla sacrificed comfort for performance?? In CA slightly used ionic base trim lists for over 50K!!! To reap the gas savings I would have to own it for over 20 years? I can swallow paying mid to high 30k for base trim....Here is hoping you will get over 200,000K trouble free!!
Ya I've heard the market in CA is crazy, that's why so many owners buy out of state. As good as it is I would tell most people to avoid the markups if possible.
Tesla's steering is much more communicative so it's not all bad there but definitely doesn't have a luxury car suspension feel. Though supposedly they've upgraded it recently to a comfort suspension.
Thanks hoping it's all smooth from here on out!
I'm sorry but I hate these videos. My range while I'm in the city is amazing, but once you start on the highway it drops. Let's stop pretending like you know something special. Everyone's driving conditions matter more than the mode you're in. If I drove in the city all the time I would show an awesome range too.
If the ioniq 5 only had one non configurable regen setting like Teslas, then I would agree with you. Which is why there are no 'regen' settings videos for Tesla and not too many range tip videos for Teslas.
However, the Ioniq 5 has multiple regen settings plus the ability to coast with no regen. It also has the ability to disconnect the front motor provided you understand how the drive modes and regen settings work together/can override each other. All of these things if used correctly can definitely increase range, quite significantly might I add on the highway. If used incorrectly your range will suffer.
Imagine driving a steady 70 mph with both motors active for 2 hours straight when you could have done that entire drive using a single motor.
Also fun fact, my Tesla model y gets better efficiency on the highway than city driving. Quite the opposite of the ioniq 5 which sees efficiency drop like a rock on the highway.

First off, rereading this, it sounds a lot more mean spirited than I intended so apologies for that.
I have done at least 20k miles worth of long distance road trips and again, the mode you're in is not a big factor. The speed you're traveling and the temperature outside are so much more impactful to the range than anything else that I get frustrate when I see videos like this. Nothing you're saying is incorrect so my response was too harshly worded so again I apologize.
As long as they charge 50k $ for battery replacement, I will not even think to buy EV....
Lol it’s 11,000 I mean it’s a good point But when you purposely lie it sorta diminishes it
@@WdawgSmith th-cam.com/video/dr3mFzh0KSk/w-d-xo.html Before you say that someone lies.
To get more range and efficiency, trade in that hot mess for a Tesla Model 3. Problem solved.
Haha I think I can manage more city range out of my ioniq 5 which is where I do most of my driving.
I definitely pulled higher numbers with my ioniq 5 vs my rental model y over the course of one week commuting.
Plus I don't like being stuck in one pedal Regen.
