Video Summary

The 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 is a good-looking EV. The reviewed Ioniq 5 has roughly 69,000 to 70,000 kilometers, which is a lot for its year. Previously, the car was used as a ride-share vehicle. The interior is relatively clean, and the seats held up nicely.  The technology is good as long as the user keeps updating it. Some of the trim is broken off.  The car has mismatched tires. This Ioniq 5 has a dual motor, 77.4-kilowatt-hour battery. The owner bought it as an R&D car for $27,000.

The car weighs about 5,000 pounds. The scanner showed a battery charger coupler lock circuit performance issue, an EVSE failure, and DC EVSE communication error. The battery health is still at 100% state of health. The charging speed is great, about 18 to 19 minutes from 10% to 80%.  It could sit at 130 kilowatts while fast charging. There are a few service items needing completion, specifically the battery cooling circuit’s fluid. The price for a non-conductive fluid is expensive. It is possible the coolant should be replaced about every 60,000 to 70,000 kilometers.
