r/Ioniq5

I have a 2022 and just hit 50,000 miles and haven't had the coolant flushed yet. I read conflicting comments and posts about if it's even really necessary and if dealerships even really know how to do it correctly.

I've been putting it off since this car, which I love, has brought bad luck.. 2 years ago was a freak hail storm the one night I couldn't park in the garage (thanks wife!) that caused 500 tiny dents, a few months later the ICCU blew up (which I believe they replace one of the coolants during the fix?) and then this year a deer jumped out from behind a snow bank and I clipped it going 25 mph. We always have money set aside to cover a slightly higher deductible, but I keep putting it off since it costs what like...$600? I like to live in a world where these cars don't carry the maintenance cost of a ICE vehicle.

Has everyone had this done and if not.. are you concerned it might void a future warranty issue if you don't get it done?

Kinda neat, had no idea AAA was doing a national average for charging.

I’m interested to see the high and low numbers in here. I’ll start, 850 miles just got a ioniq 5 nine days ago

I leased a 2026 Ioniq 5 SEL in mid Feb of 2026 (3 months ago). The wipers are already causing streaks on my window making it really hard to see when it is raining (safety issue in my opinion). The front driver's side is in the worst shape. Yes, I have cleaned them and made sure nothing was stuck in there (i.e. leaf, pine needles, etc).

I am a very frugal person... Should I take this into the dealer to have them replace with the same poor quality wipers? Or just replace them with better quality wipers on my own for ~$80?

Just seems like the dealer should pay me to get new ones on principle. Wipers in general should last at least 2 years. I know I am new to EVs but I figure wipers are pretty universal across motor vehicles. I have purchased new cars before and the wipers always lasted me 2+ years.

Just got the first estimate for installing a level 2 charger. We have a worst case situation, the space in the garage for the charger is over 100 feet and two crawl spaces from our basement electrical panel, and we need a new subpanel.

The estimate is over 5k.

We will probably remain in this house for less than 10 years. Our average driving per day is probably 20-30 miles. We have a 2026 Ioniq 5.

Those of you who make do with trickle charging, does that work well for you? Any advice?

I've been doing extensive research on this car, I want one really bad. But naturally risk-averse. I'm familiar with the ICCU issues, but as far as I can tell, the main EV battery seems to have very few complaints. Has anyone had problems with the car outside of the ICCU? I know some phone connectivity issues exist but that's stuff I can deal with.

All I want is a decent-looking electric car that will last me over 150k miles without costing a bunch of money.

Looking to buy new 2026 IONIQ 5 SEL RWD soon.

Which Northern California Hyundai dealers would you recommend or not?

If you did end up buying an IONIQ 5 within last few months, would appreciate sharing info on your experience at which dealer and what deal you got for which trim.

Just picked up a red, AWD SEL. The closest one in red (there are none anywhere I looked) was 150 miles away and I had a nice drive home.

It'll take a bit to figure out all the little things, and a I have some questions but it's a damn nice car. Especially for under $40k out the door.

Is there any way to get the cruise control to not brake hard just before a corner? Multiple times it would slow from 75-80 down to 60 as I was passing, going into a corner on the freeway. I must have looked like a complete douche, mashing the brakes in the left lane and dottering through the corner.
