Hi alle,

ich bin gerade bei der Urlaubsplanung auf die Ladekarte der Stadtwerke Neustadt Orla gestolpert (https://www.stadtwerke-neustadt-orla.de/elektromobilitaet/alltag/ladekarte-ladeapp). Das sieht ja fast zu gut aus um wahr zu sein (mit 40ct für AC und DC pro kWh für 5€ im Monat). Das Roaming-Netz ist zumindest laut ABRP echt groß (die wichtigen Anbieter sind in DE, AT, IT alle dabei) und es is eigentlich fast durchgehen der beste Preis.

Jetzt meine Frage: Wie sind eure Erfahrungen damit? Und die viel wichtigere Frage: Hat die Karte schon jemand in Österreich?

Danke euch!

ABRP was my go-to route planing tool in the last years of owning/driving an EV. While it did what it should really every time, in the last days, I have the feeling that it is kind of having a stroke.

An example: I have a route of about 700km, I drive regularly. I have my charging stops planed out, the whole thing takes me usually ~7:45. I like to dream about changing my IONIQ 5 to something with more range (like an IONIQ 6 😄 ), and I use ABRP on this route then, to show me the advantages...

Today I saw: ABRP seems to do what it wants with prioritized charging networks, and the route it plans is slower than mine. If I put my charging stops as waypoints, basically the same route is faster than any route ABRP suggested to me. What is happening there? Is the usual enshitification arriving now even there, to force you to take the paid version?

I'm following the ICCU issue threads here with great interest and I hope that the new issue tracking websites really deliver insights into what is happening here. Because so far, what I saw, nothing really seems to be really a convincing explanation of what is happening. And especially if this was something to easily pinpoint, I guess Hyundai would have replaced all of them by now.

Anyways, I do have an IONIQ 5 (Europe, 2021, RWD, 72.8 kWh) with the solar roof option. So far I always was like: hehe yeah fun but useless.
Today I read up a bit and realized, that the SDC (solar roof charge controller), seems to be directly connected to the 12V and the 800V batteries and probably charges them both. Makes sense, but especially about the 12V I still have to do some measurements, if this is the truth.

Why I'm posting now: My car is now nearly 5 years old (I have it since 2.5 years), on the original 12V, no ICCU issues so far. It never has high 12V power consumption, even immediately switching it on, where most people report the infamous "ICCU pop", probably due to really high initial DC-DC load. I'm not posting the previous threads here, where potential reasons have been found.

Can it be, that the solar roof is a effective remedy for ICCU and especially 12V issues?
Has anyone with the solar roof (who parks in the sun, of course) had issues with the ICCU or the 12V?

I want this to be like an open discussion on this, because so far I haven't seen a lot of discussion on that.
