Ah right! Not sure if they did any updates on the infotainment! I've not really noticed any changes, Mind you I only use it for BBC radio Manchester Yeah same here mine is running great that's why I was a bit apprehensive of them doing software updates. I did see the dashboard warning 'Regen restricted' after the 100% charge as the new software update was supposed to lower the upper buffer limit on the battery pack to enable regen at 100% charge, Nowhere for the regen charge to go if it's at full capacity on the old software so I have to wait until the battery pack is depleted a bit before it kicks in again.

Wow, 12 months already. I’m looking to change the ioniq HEV in 2022 and seeing the Ioniq5 is probably out of reach i’ve been looking at the new long range ZS. I need to have a re read through this post as I remember you having charge point installation issues.

Yeah almost 12 months, the time has flown by, I love the Ioniq5 too what a fabulous car that is, It will be in great demand the world over. I read yesterday that Hyundai have announced that they're shutting down their ICE development dept to concentrate on EV's, they must be planning on building a huge number of Ioniq5's Yes it was a pain in the backside regards our antiquated power supply, I didn't bother getting the OLEV grant, just too many hurdles & expence involved, Just getting the 10MM earthing straps within 60 cm of the gas shut off tap & 60 cm of the water stopcock for the electricity would have meant multi rooms carpets & floorboards lifted as both our gas/electricity supplies come into the house at ceiling height at opposite ends of the house. I've got a clean bill of health for the old electrics from the DNO people since they upgraded us to a 100amp fuse.

Have to say it's a fantastic car, very deserving of the MG badge. Down sides Range, in real terms it's between 100-130 miles ( although that suits us fine) Public chargers - not enough of them Mindless petrol/diesel owners ( deliberately block chargers ( happened once) Mindless EV owners ( park in EV spaces if not charging, happened twice) Plus points Saving around £25 a week on Mrs Simondis commute Performance is outstanding Soo good to drive - puts a smile on the face No road tax Have a home charger on a good rate - costs less than £4.50 for a full charge from zero Fantastic owners club and Facebook groups - make you feel part of the MG family |

That was the exact same scenario as our house 100 years old, rewired in the 60's after finding a fag packet under the floorboards from that era. Also 60amp fuse but ours was on a shared loop too. It's all free as the supply is their responsibility. One of my friends in the next street with the exact set up as us on a shared loop of three electricity supply had his power go out, It turned out one of his neighbours did something to his old bakerlite fuseboard & took out the three houses electricity supply. When the DNO came to repair it he asked if he could upgrade to a 100 amp fuse & they told him only if he had an electric car or had ordered one. They told him they're snowed under with this fuse upgrade work on these old housing stock which is the norm in this neck o the woods.

I've been looking through this thread to see what I'm missing. Then I looked up the price. £30000+ and only does just over 100 miles? I could get 10 immaculate R75s for that. And probably do some of the repairs myself - or trot down the road to someone I know who can. These EVs will cost a fortune to clock into a garage.
Sorry chaps, but I'm sticking to what I know.

Watched 5th gear electric last night. Yes i know i should get out more... Im drawn to that Ioniq5. It has what all a average family would need. A big Golf with usability. No wonder Hyundi av won car of th year with it. But yes. I carnt quite understand when a lot of tech thats been around years (motor, no gear box, computor. Why does it need such a price) Surely th only R&D exspense would be th battery? surely thats been cracked buy now.
Will i own one. Id like too think so. Ill go and have a look at one soon. Wife says its to boxy. It is a bit blokey and maybe it will be softened on th next version.
