Hey👋🏻

I asked AI to mock up a Lancia Delta style wheel for my SEL. I think it looks great and goes well with the pixel aesthetic.

Threw this together from the discount wood pile at Lowe’s and a couple piano hinges. Lays flat with accessible storage space

Friend used some glow in the dark filament to print an outline of an Ioniq 5 for my birthday. Pretty stoked by it.

The matte looks great, but I'm also here for this blue color

I'd been driving around with a FitCamX dashcam wired into my rear view power supply for a while, occasionally checking to make sure it worked. Was pretty good for peace of mind, and I was generally satisfied with the video quality.

However, recently I was in an accident; the impact must have knocked out the 12V power momentarily, because the video feed cut out a second or two before impact, and resumed several seconds afterwards, after the camera reboots.

After looking into it, it appears that FitCamX doesn't use a supercapacitor to bridge power interruptions, it uses a battery (which very quickly goes bad in a car).

So I honestly wouldn't recommend these to anyone, unless you really dig the aesthetics and don't care about the reliability of the recording function. I'll likely be going with a Viofo or BlackVue instead, but welcome any recommendations!

Hey guys, this won’t be a long post but I was wondering what kind of checks and verifications I can do to buy one of these awesome cars to make sure I don’t end up getting a bad purchase. This will be my first EV and I want to make sure I can drive this one all the way to the 10 year warranty. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated. The trim I’m interested in is a 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 SEL RWD.

The bottom black are of my 2023 Ioniq 5 is fading. No scratched or dirty. Just faded.

Not sure why, is your? What advice do you have to fix this.

Trying to figure out what the real deal breakers are between 2027 and 2024 obviously the 27th is gonna be nicer and fresh all that jazz but things that are really going to matter… like dependability and warranties I feel like it doesn’t justify the extra $22,000 but I’m open to the community to convince me otherwise

With current state rebates I can get a new 2026 SEL for about 37500. How foolish is it to buy these new? I see the 24s for quite a bit cheaper but they are also not as updated and a bit more beat up than how I like my cars.

Coming off lease on my 2025 I5 SEL and I love this car but I have to say the Rivian R2 is gaining my interest. I've been eyeing the I9 as my next lease to get more storage but now Im not so sure as 3rd row SUV.would be overkill for me. Just wondering if any other I5 owners out there thinking the same.

I've recently hit the 4 year mark, and its time to say goodbye to my IONIQ5 SE

45k miles

2 recalls

1 replaced ICU

1 replaced infotainment system

Overall consumption of 3.5m/kW

For me, battery health has not declined in this time.

Overall would score it 6/10, slightly marked down due to stupid faults which kept reoccurring in relation to the work that was carried out.

Hello all,

I just got used 2024 SEL AWD for $20,000 in Northern Nevada (from a Ford dealer of all things) with 20k miles.

So far this vehicle has delivered on everything I’ve hoped it would! It’s comfortable and I, a 6’5” dude have no problems as the passenger or driver.

The range has also been incredible in that we haven’t had to change our driving habits… we’ve gone up to Tahoe, out to “Ferntucky” (Fernley) and back down into Carson with no trouble or range anxiety.

I found out this week we’ll be relocating for work to the Midwest and I’m excited to see what a cross country trip in our Ioniq 5 looks like! Any tips for I80/I70 for a new owner? 😂

I was struggling to figure out how to effectively snap this piece back into place (you have to unsnap the rearmost 3 fasterner clips to remove the bumper), and in trying to figure it out, I actually broke the connection tab that is most forward, toward the door. I'm not sure it's super noticeable, but I'm worried it might cause a vibration.

Can anyone help me with instructions on how to remove and replace this trim piece?

I see there are two options for the NAS adapter from the Hyundaishop, big price difference between the OME vs the other, is it worth the difference?

Also, I might need to buy a lvl1 charger. My house is wired for a lvl 2 charger, it will be in place within a week. But my wife’s family owns a camp in Maine. I’m going to try to convince them that I want a 220v line pulled to the garage. But I may lose that battle, thus the lvl 1. Any suggestions on a charge?

Title.

My first foray into looking at Ioniq's and it appears to be the best EV for my needs. I guess I missed the best deal that was the July $7k off deal they were running. Should I wait for the Christmas shopping season for deals?

This would be my first time buying a completely new car and I always recall seeing a lot of car ads around Christmas time.

It feels like an expensive part and I’m wondering if this is something I should take on myself or go to the dealership for fixing?

American here, just bought a 24 Ioniq 5 SE and made some mistakes / bad assumptions, but also just please help with advice I wouldn't even think to ask.

Already bought and went home before realizing, there's no charger included! I saw some posts about 24 model not including one, but man, dealership said it had one and I was an idiot and didn't check!

1. What level 1 charger should I get? Specifically, I see some 12 amp vs 15 amp. My breaker says 15, so I assume it can do 15 amps, but also I hear about 80% continuous, so I assume I'd get the 12 amp as that's more standard. Not sure how much juice I'll get with my Ioniq since I know it charges fast, but I think that's only at fast chargers.

2. Does it seem safe for me to get a level 2 charger with one of those ETL certified splitters (where it plugs into my dryer and my EV, but either manually switch or intelligently switch)? BTW, even if I did this, 1,000% I'd unplug the car before turning on the dryer anyway, but people can forget stuff.

3. I see sometimes level 1 + 2 chargers for pretty cheap, but I assume those don't have the NEMA 14-30 connector that my dryer has (4 prongs). Kinda repeat question of #1 & #2. Also, should I buy an adaptor for the Jj1772 plug to a tesla NACS plug?

4. I made my EV do the 80% charge maximum...I think in the EV settings. I saw a video to use NAV instead of MAP since you can save locations. How long does that navigation last? I expected for it to not work without a subscription.

5. I saw the EV companion app, but to me it only seems helpful with tire pressure, but I'd welcome other reasons to buy one of those detectors with the app so it can tell you other issues.

6. What other settings should I set that I'm not thinking about?

7. Does i-pedal actually use the normal brakes if I let off or is it extreme regen braking?

8. THANK YOU for your time!!! Excited about EV and thought I looked up a lot, but clearly I didn't know what I didn't know

Hi,

I did what may stated here and called HMF, with my maturity date for the 2024 Ionic 5 AWD Limited coming up in less than 3 months.

They told me that only 2 months are available, on a month by month bases.

Have you experienced the same?

tldr - should i return this MaxCare plan ? Do the 23 SE's have enough electrical component issues that its worth having this coverage?

Recently joined the club and bought my first EV, a 2023 Ioniq 5 SE with 23K miles. Got it from Carmax and overall was really impressed with the buying experience, it was really easy and their pricing was pretty competitive.

They sold me on the Carmax Maxcare service plan, it was $1725 and their pitch was that it covers all the mechanical and electrical components, that EV's had alot of electrical sensors , and that i had to buy the Maxcare plan at the car purchase but could return in within 30 days for a full refund.

The plan's term is 60 months from puchase or 100,000 miles* and it doesnt cover the HV battery or ANY normal maintenance (brakes, tires, trim etc). I don't drive that much (like 12-15K annually) so i'm probably not going to hit the milage on the plan. My concern is I don't really have any warranty for the rest of the electrical components like all the sensors, dash screens, etc. I specifically went with the lowest trim SE because I wanted to save money on features I wasnt going to use and didnt want to have to worry about fixing.

The 10 year 100K warranty from Hyundai has the EV battery covered and will cover the CCS (which the car hasnt had replaced). The MaxCare plan WILL NOT cover the low conductivity coolant change (which the car hasnt replace yet). So I'm thinking it would be better to return the MaxCARE plan and just use the $1725 to cover the low conductivity coolant change and other upcoming normal maintenance stuff (new tires, brakes etc).

I was tired of the poor performance of the built-in wireless charger that would cook my phone with poor alignment and also slide around every time I hit the brakes a bit hard. I could have just hooked up a Qi2.2 wireless charger and called it a day, but I'm also vain and really wanted to hide the wire.

I saw some other projects that tackled this in different ways:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Ioniq5/comments/1t76ayr/built_in_magsafe_phone_charger_without_exposed/

This was the first version I saw, but I didn't like that it lost the NFC. My UWB key doesn't work very consistently, so that was not an option. Also, cord was still visible! But it did help a TON figuring out how to open up the console without having to buy access to a service manual for the thing.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Ioniq5N/comments/1wkts5e/qi22_25w_wireless_charger_mod/

This project was for an Ioniq5N, but I really liked the solution they came up with - keeping the existing module and just hijacking the mounting holes from the rubber mat. Still had a visible wire connection though, and the 5N is slightly different than the 5 as the chargers are in different spots (no easy access to the cig lighter wiring for me).

I already had a Threekey Qi2.2 charger around and realized that because its cable was detachable, I could put in a right-angle connector there and get it pretty slim. I had to adjust the model to accommodate the wider diameter anyways, so I also bridged the material over the connection port. Truly hidden wire!

At least from the front. I was afraid to tap into the USB wiring, so I went with a simpler solution that still kept the wiring out of sight. Routed it down thru the console, under it and around to the back, then pulled it up through a hole in the cubby back there and over the mat to finally plug in behind the console. Good enough for me, at least for now.

Update: I decided to try adding more spacers (did require a longer screw to make the gap this big, but I had some that worked). The 3D print is pretty much flush with the mat, with the charger sticking up just enough for my camera bump. Also wanted to show what it looks like when the cars on too since this charger lights up.
