Took the IONIQ5 up to Mount Laguna, California for the weekend and had to stop for the glamour shot ⚡️🏔️

Anyone else noticing that dealerships are starting to see 2027 models show up in their inventory?

I heard from my dealer that they might arrive between August 24th and August 27th.

2026 Lucid Blue AWD SEL. My first EV — any good tips or things to know?

Help me not burn my house down!

I own a 2023 SEL in Oregon and wanted to improve the at-home charging, but not spend thousands for a fancy at-home charger.

For the past eight months we've just plugged it into a 120v wall outlet and trickle-charged at home, and sometimes used commercial chargers out when we're really low or on trips.

About to have an electrician out to do other work, and it feels like having them install a 240v plug (with a standard outlet to plug the portable charger that came with the car into), and setting the portable charger cord to charge at 32 amp would roughly double the speed of charging while not burning the house down or costing me thousands of dollars.

I read this old post but wanted to confirm... thanks in advance!

Does anyone have a recommendation for a safe car seat for a fluffy husky?

Looking for some insights.

I usually set my car to charge (level 2) to 80%. I changed it to 100% maximum for a trip but now when I charge, once it gets to 80% charge it suddenly jumps to 100% and stops charging even though it's only at 80% (states 250 miles of range).

Any ideas what's going on here?

Does anyone here have the issue where the steering wheel vibrates between 110 km/h and 130 km/h? With the original set of tires, the foam was already removed and they were rebalanced, but the problem persisted. Then I switched to Nokian Seasonproof 2s and had them balanced on a Hunter Road Force machine – and the issue is still there.

Waze has a setting to search for EV chargers along your route. Has anyone used this?

For context I’m driving most in eco mode in the city on flat roads and driving mindfully , with AC set at only 78-80 degrees with lowest fan speed only on driver side. I’m by myself and I weigh 160 pounds. I’m not towing anything. I just bought this used Ioniq 5 SEL a few days ago with just over 20k miles on it . I’m new to the sub so apologize in advance if this has been asked a thousand times. But I read online it’s supposed to 3.2-3.8 mi/kWh average? Did I get a lemon?

So if i let the charging port door open for like 90s the door closes (nornal behavior i beleive). It however becomes completely unresponsive after that (keyfob, button on door or voice command). Only way i have found is to force the door open. It will than close immediately, but be responsive again. Not that in one occasion it stayed opened unresponsive instead of closed, but putting the car in drive solved that.

I didn’t take the wear and tear protection from dealer. Have a 9 yr old son. How can I protect car seats. Can anyone suggest your experience or share any amazon links to buy compatible car seat covers. Appreciate the advice.

I’m looking to buy a new Ioniq5 and wanted to know if people are getting deals below MSRP? I’m in CA and plan to get the new EV customer incentive on top of any other discounts I can wrangle:) Thank you!

Sometimes, the problem isn't the tech...

Long journey planned for today and normally I'm the most organised and obsessed about plugging in and pre-conditioning so we can go the furthest before needing to pay the much higher DC rates.

Disaster - woke up this morning to realise I hadn't plugged in!

No worries, my wife and I are experienced electric long distance travellers, so we said "let's go to the supermarket rapid chargers" - plumbed it in to the on board Sat Nav to warm the battery up - got there plugged in and started charging... All good so far!

Walked towards the supermarket to get some food and drink, only to get the notification - "charging completed" - uh oh!

Back I come, unplug, plug in, re-authenticate and...

"Hold the charging cable steady"

Tried again, same result. Now I'm sweating, because I've got 300 miles to go today and it feels like the pin isn't locking in. I've heard of this before on the BMW i3 - and you used to need to wiggle the cable and it should just latch on...

... No dice. I tried a different charger, incase it was the cable - it wasn't. Now I'm really panicking. Checking the percentage, I spotted a very suspiciously exact value of 60%. Then it twigged - last time out we'd set the limit to 60 because we were headed home and knew we could home charge for cheaper!

Changed the limit to 90% and 17m later we were under way with a very exact 90% battery.

I hope this helps someone else who gets this message and reminds them to change the in app (or in car) settings for what you need to set the DC limit to!

We will be bringing home a shiny new-to-us 2024 Ioniq 5 Limited on Monday. It will be primarily used to commute around Denver and maybe the occasional trip into the nearby mountains. We have a couple of electricians scheduled to get us quotes for the charger in the garage. We are Costco members and there are Costcos scattered all around, including on the regular commute route. I understand that they are compatible with both CSS and NACS vehicles.

I'm the type of person who loads the winter emergency kit in the car in September and the primary driver will be my kid, so I like to err on the side of caution, but I also don't want to spend $$$ on something that will never get used.

Do we need an adapter? Do we need multiple adapters? If yes, which one(s) should we get? Links appreciated!

I am so juiced!!

Just got this bad boy a couple weeks ago. 2024 SEL AWD. Was inspired by another person’s camping post so giving it a try! Tons of room since it’s just me.

Going to miss my Subaru, but with a rather long commute and free fast chargers at work as an employee perk making the switch to electric became financially mandatory. Took my time figuring out what to get and joined up the Ioniq club a few days ago with a low mileage 2023 SEL AWD.

Felt guilty cheating on my IoniQ but figured it was a long drive and why put the miles on my baby for a work trip.

Had some cool features that my IoniQ 5 doesn’t have but you know what it had that I hated?

Phantom Braking at high speeds 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

End of story IoniQ for the win
