This should be required viewing for anyone purchasing an EV car at a dealer. He explains it so clearly and easy to understand even for someone new to electric cars. The people at the dealer certainly will not know these things lol
Totally agree. Great vid.
Yea, a lot of this isn't unique to the Ioniq 5, it's general charging information for non-Teslas.
About to go shopping for an EV and drop some proper EV terminology to let them know I’m not a scrub
When I bought my Bolt, the salesman at the dealership was asking me all kinds of questions about it.
I wish he wouldn’t keep saying some of the points over and over again. Video could have been much shorter but great info.
Hyundai should have a link to this video for all ioniq 5 owners. Got one this weekend and I have learned a ton from this video. Great Job!!!
Great video! We just took delivery of our Ioniq5 AWD Ultimate 2 days ago...we traded in our 2023 Kona EV Ultimate. We had the Kona for 10 months and put on 48,000km+ so we did a ton of road tripping. The Ioniq5 is unreal, charged on a 150kw charger yesterday from 20% to 80% in 18 minutes! On the Kona we would have been 30+ minutes. Amazing...and the Ioniq5 should be good this winter as they now have pre conditioning. Againg, great info for anyone just buying or considering the purchse of an EV. Thankyou Mike
Thank you so much for this vid. This should be a ‘must-watch’ for everyone who owns an Ioniq (or any EV).
Thanks Tom from the past. I was searching the web to find out if Ionq 5 came with a Level 1 and Level 2 EVSE or just Level 1 and you answered that within the first few minutes of your very detailed (as usual) presentation.
Great video as usual, but may I suggest something? Start with DC charging and disclaimer saying when you use it, then move into AC charging. Yes, most of us will use Level 2 so it's more important, but I feel these particular videos are more for new EV drivers. And a lot of people will freak when they hear AC charging times and may turn off the video prematurely, thinking those charge times will transfer to road tripping. Better to address DC first, then go to the AC charging.
Very informative as usual. Thanks for consistent quality content.
Great video! Lots of good information and you answered several questions I had.
This is wonderful information. Thank you so much for providing detailed insights on Ioniq 5 charging. Keep up the good work.
Thorough, concise, and relevant information. Well done as always!
Much appreciated!
This was very informative. I really appreciate your time, effort, and knowledge!
Very good information and terrific delivery. I appreciate that you provided all that information in clear, concise, and proper language.
Thanks for this: comprehensive, approachable, and well presented. A terrific resource for new owners!
Extremely informative range of topics and all very well explained. Thanks!
I am interested in the Ioniq 5 but not familiar with EVs. This is by far the greatest tutorial about it. Definitely answers many questions. Now only have to figure out how long can I run a 30 amp outlet so I can install one in the garage. Awesome video.
Thank you for this video! I just got an Ioniq 5. This is so informative and easy to follow.
Nice video. This will be a great resource for new Ioniq 5 owners new to EVs. I think you sell Level 1 a little short. For many people that drive less than 30 miles per day ON AVERAGE level 1 will work just fine. The car doesn't need to be fully recharged overnight. As long as the average miles is right the Level 1 will trend towards keeping the battery fully charged. Plus you can always supplement with faster public chargers for exceptional cases. With more people working from home or being retired Level 1 can work for a lot of people. (Bigger batteries look scary on paper taking many days to charge from 0-100%, but in reality big batteries help smooth out longer trips. Maybe you drive 250 miles on the weekends, that can still be sustained on Level 1 due to averaging.)
Yea, John Poldo's comment was a bit thick. If you don't drive more than what a Level 1 can deliver in 10-14hrs, why on earth would you waste a pile of money installing a Level 2? It's at least $1500 to get a 40amp service where you need it and then a min $500 charger on top.
Exactly! The Level 1 charger supplied with the car works nicely and is all we need most of the time- generally charge to 80% for local driving- then step up to 100% (with a Level 2 charger) for trips. So nice to have the portable charger supplied when the Kia supplied nothing.
As someone thinking about buying an electric vehicle this video is GOLD!
I would happily pay a person with your knowledge to explain a new EV after or before purchase. Great channel Tom.
Thank you, I'm a first time viewer and I have subscribed 🤓. You answered several questions I had and others that I didn't know how to ask. I think I'm ready to go all electric; I was leaning toward PHEV, but my daily commute is greater than 50 miles. Again thanks, and God bless
Great video! I learned more here than I could in the Ioniq5 manual. Every place I went to find how to put the car in winter mode and set my charge to "reduced" was here. Hyundai should have this as required viweing. Thank so much!
Great video with lots of information delivered in an easy to understand way. Very useful for someone contemplating buying and Ioniq 5 or any other EV.
At first, I saw 41 minutes for the video length, but, I started watching anyway thinking I would bale out in 5 min. Ended up watching the entire video as I found this guy has some great information and just keeps feeding it to you, not just wasting time. Guess that I am searching out more videos from him next.
I took a 160 mile trip with my ioniq 5 was great, got to my destination with 34% left from 100% at the start. I plugged the 110 outlet in at the house me and my family rented and after 3 days at 12 amps we left with 83%. More then enough to make it home but he's not lying slow isn't the word
Great, informative, video. Very well organized and clearly explained.
Tom, Wonderful presentation. Answered absolutely all of my Ioniq 5 charging questions. The dealer should reference this. I wills share with him. Thanks so much.
First video that I have seen from you, and it has been superb!! 👏👏👏
This was highly educational. Thank you!
Hi Tom! Just found your channel about a week ago, it has been very informative. This was a great video! Have had my I5 Limited for about 2 weeks, so still working to learn all of the features of the car. This overview was really helpful; solidified my charging plans. Get a level 2 EVSE installed at home (hopefully soon) and DC fast charge only when necessary - road trips or when I am getting too low on charge. Thanks!
@verna Lewis do you love it, or is it a pain in the ass
@@laurasc84366 the car? Or the charging part?
The car
@@laurasc84366 I *adore* the car. Was interested in it before they came out. There is a lot to learn because of all of the functions. But I was driving an old putt-putt before, so this car is a dream for me... So I am biased :).
Great video!! I know a lot about batteries and off grid systems but I learned a lot about the car I just bought from you!! Much better than the owners manual - and more fun to watch!!
I own an Ioniq 5 and I learned tons of stuff from this video. Thanks!
Absolutely love this video, thank you!!
Enjoyed your video. Keep up the good work!
Love your informative videos Tom!
Thank you Tom! I just took delivery of an 023 Ioniq 5 yesterday and received zero training from the dealership on how to charge the car (I wish they would have a class or something!). That said, this video was a huge help for me! Funny story: My first charging experience (and only one so far at this writing) was using the level one charger at my house. When I realized how long this thing was going to take I decided to stop the charging before going to bed and try again later. Only thing was, I didn't know how to stop it! ....so I thought I would just unplug the EVSE from the 110 wall socket and figured that would do the trick.....Hyundai must have added a feature to punish people who do this because I could not get the car plug to unlock afterwards! LOL I finally found online, a guy who had a you tube video on how to "manually" unlock the plug. Once I did, I got this hilarious voice from the car saying, "charging has failed". LOL
Check your settings in the charging menu. You can set it that the charger cable will only unlock from the car when you have UNLOCKED the car.
Great overview of the way it works - even learned that we can charge at Tesla destination chargers with an adaptor! A better use case for V2L would be powering the furnace in case of a power outage in freezing conditions, or a heat pump in a super-hot climate. Plus fridge and probably many LED lights. Our house uses 10kW/day in the dead of winter and 12/day in summer. Gas furnace and stove makes a huge difference. We could power the whole house for up to 5 days, given we don't use the dryer ;)
Another really informative video, Tom! I wish Hyundai had supplied a level 2 EVSE with the I5, but I ended up getting a Splitvolt unit to fill the gap. The charging experience on my I5 has been solid and uneventful thus far.
Thank you for the explanations.
Wow! This is must-see TV for all EV owners to be. Thanks and congrats on an excellent info video. Tom (Canada).
Good job, very well explained. Thanks much
This is the most reliable source for ev charging information, Kudos Tom! Really hoping your subscriptors triple very soon
Thank you.
very detail & easy to understand
Another informative video thanks Tom
Very informative. Subscribed!
this vid help me a lot , the detailed info is so amazing.. many thanks
Thank you
love your videos, thanks for the EV infos
Very informative. Thanks!
Awesome review and answered all my questions I got an volt and plan on upgrading to this
This was sooooo useful!!! I watched it twice and took notes for my new Ioniq 5 ,(2024) will you be doing an updated version, as the video is two years old and Hyundai made some significant changes.
This is really good stuff. Thanks so much!
Dealer never mentioned free 2 year charging deal! OMG THANKS
Totally excellent video! The sky is superb!!
Amazing video! Thanks!
Great job on this, wish I had known about State of Charge before purchasing my Ioniq 5 SE AWD.
We could have gotten by with the supplied L1 portable cord but we’d have to be plugged in most of the time when parked at home. With our L2 EVSE we only have to plug in once or twice a week. We choose the Charge Point Home Flex unit based in part on your review. It is expensive but I didn’t want to go cheap with $50k vehicle. Charging costs for 1750 miles of driving has totaled $32. Almost all at home or at free L2 public chargers.
Very interesting video! V2L is getting more popular, and it's especially useful and convenient now that power outages are at an all-time high.
Very informative. Thanks
I'm picking up my Hyundai Ioniq 6 in 2 days. I've been watching vids for a month. This one taught me more than all the others put together. Especially about the home L2 charger (I mean EVSE). I won't be in a hurry to get one, but now I know not to buy a 50 amp model, as I will have to install a plug for it. And it's good to know the 150w fast dc chargers aren't very much slower than the 350w ones. I'll enjoy the 2 years of semi-free Electrify America service. I just paid $4.07/gal for the last fill up in my ICE car.
Good show. I watched the whole thing.
outstanding education of all the options for ionic 5
Just found your channel. Subscribed and notifications ‘on’. 👍
Great video. The best one of its kind.😊
Fantastic video. I am a model S owner. Picking up a EV6 AWD Saturday.
Good video very informative
Seldom mentioned. On trips driving at 75 mph yields less range, heats up the battery. So, a driver “saves” 10-15 minutes between charging but it can take longer to charge due to internal temperatures and more KWh. I’ve taken two 200 mile trips at 65 mph yielding 4.0 to 4.2 miles per kw and no need to charge. The fun part was watching everyone go fast wearing out tires, using gasoline or kWh at faster rates. 10 more miles per hour is”saving” 10 seconds per mile! That’s it,IF that speed can be help continuously.
Good job Tom, very elaborate and useful. Thanks 😇
Glad it was helpful!
Great video Tom. May I suggest also doing the same type of video with the EV6. Although both the Ioniq5/EV6 are basically the same as far as Infotainment system and battery capabilities, it would be ideal to see how any portable charging capabilities of these manufacturers fair better then other EVs. The dealers have no clue on all these capabilities and do not know how to counter any nay-sayers either, but I digress.
I really enjoyed your video... and I don't even own an electric vehicle! LOL! Good work. (liked, and subscribed as a result)
Oops, not sky, guy… The guy is superb! One of the best videos I’ve seen about my new ionic five. There’s so much junk out there the presenter is fantastic the content is right on.
i have a tesla model 3 SR+, since 2020 I've only supercharged 2 times, and level 1 a home, its honestly enough for anyone. I drive 50 miles a day during the week
Wow so thorough and useful.I owned a Tesla Model S for five years and now a Tesla ModelX. This vlog helped me appreciate the Ionic 5 a lot. I need to get a “charger” for a place in Lake Tahoe and will use you advice to purchase it!
State Of Charge is always the best information for EV's on the internet!
First-time viewer. Great and easy to understand details. Couple of corrections for you. 1. When you said that Hyundai is the only one of offer "audible" indications that the car is charging, you should have said "verbal". My Volt, and others I suspect, will audibly alert you that charging has started with a "beep". 2. Electrify America DOES offer 50kW chargers. They might be limited, but a location that I've visited three times does have one station with 50kW. They might be there for either cost-saving measures or for Bolt owners (or others) who don't understand that the car will only take what it can handle...or both reasons.
Thank you, Tom!
Still relevant, great video!
Great video!
Great Video Tom and thanks for all the videos my family will be looking at EV when we need our next car. QQ for you and your viewers has anyone installed or tested a Emporia EVSE. I could not find your review on this one if you did one. Thanks.
Great video. Thanks for all the info. The volume level is a bit low on the video though.
Great video with lots of good information. I recently bought an Ioniq 5 and absolutely love it. I recently had a charging issue that your viewers may want to know about. I stopped at a Francis Electric ChargeOK location and neither unit would charge the car. After several tries at resolving the problem which included rebooting the charging unit, a tech support person told me that the Ioniq 5 and EV 6 are so new and can accept such a large amount of power that those charging units I was trying to use could not output that amount of power and so would not work at all. They were working on a software update for the charging units that would allow them to output some sort of power level to these vehicles. My car was telling me I had 34 miles of range left and the next charger was 38 miles away, and after driving that 38 miles at 55 mph, I made it to that next charger with 1% battery and 1 mile of range left. I was lucky. I hope other locations do not have this problem but people need to be aware that it exists in some locations. Great job, I will continue watching.
That shouldn't happen - the charging station should simply just send out the maximum power it can deliver. I'm sure this wasn't the first time an EV that could accept more power than the station's limit plugged in there. When new EVs come to market, there is often some software glitches on DC fast chargers, but they shouldn't blame it on the amount of power the car can accept, that's silly.
@@StateOfChargeWithTomMoloughney That’s what I thought. I’ve been to lots of DC fast chargers that cannot give the max the car can take, and that’s fine. They should not just refuse to do anything.
from all the youtube videos I've watched, the Francis chargers appear to be absolutely terrible. Haven't seen a single video where one worked correctly the first time.
Excellent!
I would love a follow to talk about some of the changes the OTA updates have made.
well explained 👍👍
Exactly what i needed. A consolidated overview video. Thanks!
Good info. I'm disappointed that Hyundai's portable EVSE only works with 120V. They really need to improve it to also work with 240V and provide swappable adapters for the different outlets.
Thanks for the great info! Are you planning on doing a video like this on the Kia EV6?
Great information
Thanks for the video. I just did my first long ev road trip in my Ioniq 5 this weekend. Could you do a video on how to navigate and plotting dc fast charging on a long road trip. I’m a Waze user, and it was a hassle juggling Waze, ABRP and the EA apps to figure out the best route and charging destination. At one point, I had to take a 20 min detour off the hwy to an EA station, which I thought was a total waste of time.
Great video. Thank you for posting it. I'm considering getting an Ionic 5, and this helps a ton with the decision to purchase the car or not. 👍
Thanks for your great videos. I’ve learned so much. After 6 weeks, I’ve noticed my 2022 AWD SE trim Ioniq 5 range says 320 miles when at 100%. Could this be because my driving habit is very conservative and the car is learning my range may be higher? Interestingly I did make one trip over a steep 4000 ft mountain pass in 32 deg snowy weather, used 150 miles of range going only 80 miles. So as you have taught us, the optimum range is only achieved in ideal conditions driving conservatively. On the the return trip , going down hill on a warmer day, I actually went 16 miles without the range going down at all. Fun and educational about conserving
Excellent vid
Excellent
Very helpful
This is very good detail video only wish it had better battery conditioning for folks up north.
Got the Grizzl-e non-smart avalanche model and the refurbished including shipping costed me only $444.5 USA. I'm happy with it. It's 40amps and can be reduced if needed.
Great video Tom, I wonder if You can use both V2L {outside and inside} at the same time ?
I just got my 22 IONIQ 5 SEL and love it. On average I go from around 10% to 80% in about 20 minutes (CCS). Thank God I had the free charging for two years didn’t realize it was as expensive as it was gonna look into a charger getting installed but for now I’m in an apartment so yeah
What did you pay $ for your Ionic 5 & where are you?
@@jeffh.8830 south Florida (Ft Lauderdale) around 52
@@Thrawns_Office Thanks for letting me know unfortunately I don’t have much of a choice at the building I live in. I try to do level 1 and 2 charges whenever I can.
Where do you charge to go from 10% to 80% in 18 minutes? I charged earlier at a charge point plug using free electrify plan and didn’t charge in an hour
@@GTIZmoKiDD level 3 charger (350 kw)
Picked up my Ioniq 5 SEL in September, it does have battery preconditioning, would love a video on exactly how to use it best, I also have winter mode so figuring out how to use both these options would be helpful.
Thank you for this comprehensive video! Quick question - do I need to schedule a departure time to then schedule my off-peak overnight charging? Or can I just schedule charging and that's it? Many thanks, KP
Thanks Tom. Another great video. I have been curious about the "power your whole house thing". It seems like a gross representation. No utility or municipality is going to allow an "alternate power source" to just be plugged into a house. Backfeed into the grid is the concern. If it is to be used as you show here or like a free standing gas generator would be used, there is no chance of back feed. I am glad you clearly showed how this would work. I can only believe that F150 will work the same way as this, just having more outlets to utilize at once.
Ford is partnering with someone to disconnect your house from the grid. I think Tom has a video on this. You need to shell out $$$, just like folks with battery backup for their solar.
It just requires a bidirectional inverter. You can feed into the grid, what do you think solar panels are? They might just not pay you for it if you do.
Good information. I’m buying an EV6. Ionic 5 aren’t delivered much here. Very few limited models.
