2021 Hyundai Ioniq 5 EV

[shuigao]

@kendrick272 Been driving the Cat A model for 2 months. For everyday use in the city it's a superb car, I haven't needed to make material adjustments to my lifestyle as compared to my previous ICE. I get ~300km's on a 90%-10% batt charge, so for my mileage it's no big deal to go to a mall with a charger once meal a week to charge up over lunch.

But I also did a road trip up to KL and back and that was a HUGE difference over ICE (in a bad way). At NSH speeds that range drops to ~200km, so you end up needing to start from SG on a full charge, do one ~30min charging stop, and then top up again when you reach KL. Not ideal.

@shuigao yes am thinking of getting a EV, but dont think will drive up to Msia, except JB.

How is the ride so far? comfortable for u and passengers? On average 300km mileage for 90% charge? quite low but can understand since 58kwh.

So far any OS bugs u encountered?

Thank you

@shuigao overall how long does the the journey takes from JB custom to KL? Including the charging stops u mentioned 

[shuigao]

@kendrick272 300km from utilising 80% off the batt. If need longer range then need to buy the Cat B version (probably 400km-ish?). But get ready to pay extra $40k for that extra range haha.

I personally haven't encountered any bugs, but the HI5 has a common issue (also affects the AIS/MIS models) with the high voltage batt not charging the 12v batt properly which can end up in cars needing to be jump started after a period of inactivity (like 1.5 wks or longer).

@ksapple Around 4.5 hours from my home in Bedok to center of KL (driving on NSH at 11x km/h) excluding time stuck at checkpoints. ~3.5 hours driving + two* 25-30min charging stops. 

* The 2nd charging stop is after reaching KL to top up to actually drive around KL cos batt would be below 20% by then.

oh man they pushed it back? when did you get COE? 

[Kennethoka]

@welfert I got my COE 2nd bid of August

[Zonk]

@Kennethoka me too 2nd bid Aug. I just got updated should be ready in two weeks time.

[welfert]

@Zonk sounds like they're really pushing the Bulim factory to meet the demand! 

I was told 3 weeks ago that the production is planned for 3 weeks time (this week) which hopefully means collection & handover next week, 

[welfert]

@Kennethoka @Zonk have you guys logged into the HMGICS portal to check on the car status? 

[Kennethoka]

@welfert Just checked. still in Planning stage. that stage was there since I got my COE

[welfert]

@Kennethoka same here. in the past the guys in the group chat said that the portal was giving more updates compared to their sales agents but now i reckon it's the other way around@Zonk what colour are you waiting for? 

[Zonk]

@welfert yes I logged in religiously everyday. Finally there was some update yesterday on the planned production and completed last Friday. Now agent says another 2 weeks for delivery. Mine is white Color. 

[welfert]

@Zonk woohoo!

Just wondering, able to visit the factory to see your car being built? I remember they mentioned this was one of the features of the factory when they announced it.

[Kennethoka]

@Benarsenal I am also wondering. Because my kids keep asking
