Great video! Pro tip from Ioniq 28 long time owner - don’t use recuperation at all at a motorway driving: this costs you a lot if energy! You drove on level 3 all the time - it’s not efficient this way. Use coasting (0 recuperation) as much as you can, then turn on and adjust the recuperation level with the levers based in the road conditions. Following this “rules” you can get most of the car 😉

While true, it's not @bjornnyland methodology for testing cars. We can get 400km out of our 38kWh model in spring and summer while commuting when we don't need AC. Wish our Oz model had a heat pump as winter consumption is a lot worse. It is a bit of a tardis. I'm amazed at what we can fit in the car. It even swallowed a front loading washing machine with ease.

When using cruise control it makes no difference…

I honestly think Ioniq is one of the best EV's for the money right now. It was my previous car and thinking back after owning the E-tron i really had 0 issues with Ioniq while i have had several problems with the E-tron which costs over double the money with basicly almost the same range. Its a really good car and all the extra features you can buy is very cheap and by default it comes with stuff that even my E-Tron (that costs double !?!!) don't even have. I miss it sometimes 😆

I had the 2018 Ioniq 28kW and loved it. Kept it for 2 years until my Kona was ready. The Kona had a much better range but actually less space and was a less premium car. The Ioniq had some nicer features like a button to store 2 seat positions on the driver's door and split climate control which the 2020 Kona didn't have. For a car you want to use 95% around the city and the occasional cabin trip it's perfect. Well priced, more efficient than a Tesla and just does the job. And for people saying that charging at 60kW isn't fast it's a lot faster than charging a 100kWH battery at 125kW.

It has 48000 km and the available battery capacity has dropped from 26 to 24,3 kWh, that makes 6,5% degradation. Even that the range is quite limited, it still works well on long trips because of it's fast charging capabilities. I just love the car!😊

Wow my 2019 ioniq still has more than 26 kWh available after 60 000 km

2 years ago you made me buy the Ioniq and i am so happy with it. Drove it from 20.000 to 88.000 without any problems. Its a great car. Some tips for the Ioniq users. - set regen at lvl 0 and try to use as much coasting as possible. Putting energy in the car and back in the battery gives more losses. - Use only AC in winter for heating. The car will warm up a bit slower but without the HEAT button on, the car only uses the heatpump to warm up the interior. Thats way more efficient. The HEAT button is a normal (COP1) heater.

The classic Ioniq is a true gem. I had a 2018 (drove it from new to 115,000 km) until 4 months ago when i switched to an Ioniq 5. I can only dream about the low consumption and efficiency nowadays.

The classic Ioniq videos are always great fun and demonstrate how good this car really was. If I needed a second car besides my Kona, this would be it.

I have driven this car 20K+ km's. around 12.4 KwH/100, what a awesome thing!

Thanks for helping me with this choice back in 2018, still drive my Ionic from 2016 with 150.000 km.

My 28kWh has 75000 km approximately and still has 100% and no discernible degradation. Range is as good as new. I charge up generally at home but a weekly rapid charge, often twice in that day. 100% charge on home charger and 90% on rapid charger. Best car I have ever owned. Also have 64kWh Kona, but we both prefer the Ioniq!!

Your winter range videos of Ioniq 28kWh back in late 2016 made my mind up to buy one in January 2017. I still fondly remember the bit where you presented the 3 different versions, HEV, PHEV and BEV. And you pointing at the first two and saying "you don't want those" 😂 I've been driving Tesla Model S for 4 years now, but the Ioniq is a fantastic car, thanks a million, Bjørn 🙂

I just bought a December 2017 Ionic as a second car. Next to the 2014 Tesla Model S 85. My wife still always steals the Model S. But I don't mind, I'm perfectly happy in the Hyundai!

My Ioniq is 4 and a half years old. I put 71000 km on it. It is still a very good car!

@@bjornnyland True, but for us it is better. On our busiest day we still have over 100km left when we get back late at night so the 28kwh would have probably necessitated a charge somewhere during the day. The vast majority of our charging is at home (off solar) so slow charging makes no difference. Regardless, both versions fantastic, feel so lucky to have got one before Hyundai stopped producing them. Bought it to last 10 years, but the more I see and read the more I think it will go longer if we want. Maybe solid state batteries will be cheap by then 🙂

Hey! The Ioniq btw shows GPS speed in the navigation window of the main screen. If this one doesn‘t, a software update is highly overdue! As a long time Ioniq driver I know the feeling when percentage and range eveporate on the Autobahn once it goes below 30%, but by reducing the speed and cutting back the heating always made me reach home, or a charger. Thanks and please keep up your excellent videos!

Good to see the ioniq making a comeback! I also have a 2018 ioniq EV with 70k km on the clock and last time i checked i calculated it still had around 28Kwh so no noticable degredation yet. I made the final decision to buy this car earlier this year after watching the 1000km challenge video and the ioniq is a great EV to buy second hand. Even though it has a small battery it charges quick and has a very flat charging curve up to 80% and because its very efficient the range is usable enough to use it as your only car. Wish huyndai or other car manufacturers made a decent successor. An affordable midsized efficient hatchback. The ioniq 5 and 6 are way too big for me.

I totally agree with you! The Ioniq is still a great car and I will keep it, as long as there will be a real successor with a little more range, but the same efficiency... Hope one day, thus going to be available!

Your videos about this car helped me buy it and I have loved it! So far driven mine +30k km and the only sad thing about range is how much juice the AC+hearing takes from the range in the deep winter. At -15c to -18c I was getting 18kWh/100km in Finland with heating around 25c. As you showed, it’s not a huge problem for a pragmatist as I just take extra safe stops at +50km range left and charge quite fast at 60kW to get back up to 80%. Reliability has been great too.

simply an amazing car. and very very cheap to operate and maintain.

Another great video! Thanks Bjorn! The classic Ioniq batteries were extremely well built! I wish my 2020 Kona battery was as good!

Thank you for the review of older cars. It's always great to see the extreme fast evolution of EVs. The fast SOC-Drop was something which I experienced also with my first Kona EV. It costs me some nerves, on our first autobahn trip with the car in 2018😂... Its astonishing, if I compare the behavior of those "dinos" with our current ev6😅!

Last month with my Ioniq classic. Charging at home with 31A in case need some speed. Usually the winter night charging is done with 20A. Famous car.

Björn, my 2020 eSoul 64kwh with 120.000km should be tested you as well 😅 - you give a lot of value to customers willing to buy used EVs

My Ioniq 28 kwh is 6 years old and has 101783 km on the odometer. It has a range of 222 km at 96% charged battery, at 20 degrees Celsius. There may be some degradation of the battery, but it is not very much.

Bjørn, Thanks for this classic Ionic test and battery degradation comparison to other cars. Hyundai did a great job with this car. I am curious, and a bit concerned, about the issues you are having with V4 supercharger posts. What has been your experience so far?

200k km and my Ioniq 28kwh replacement for the LEAF rocks in comparison. Much nastier behaviour than the LEAF when the battery gets low so I'm on the learning curve again. I love the charging speeds (when I make it to the charger. One 5km recovery to the charger and one roll down the hill to plug in at home in 1500km but I'm learning. These vids really help : ) Thanks Bjorn!

Enjoy your shows. We have had 2 media reports on Hyundai batteries needing replacement after warranty elapse. One was a hybid, both would have cost more than the car was worth. Hyundai has to do better with new tech and find out why these batteries went bad. I don't remember what the millage was, but I don't think it was extreme.

Great video Bjorn! Why the new kwh number is 26? Why not 28?

Im about 10 weeks away from 100K Hasnt mossed beat except needed a wierd 12v battery so had to get adaptors. A bit flaky with early 50kw chargers but i try and get 100kw if i have the chance. have one or twice got 69kw charging...and tight bumhole that goes with driving it that empty. 120 winter range is 60 if your run 30degreee heating, 82mph uphill in the rain...dont think ive ever seen such a wide gap and is a testiment to how efficient this car CAN be.

Hi Bjørn, I was hoping I could bother you with a question. I am going to enter the secondhand market for a 28kWh Ioniq, and I was wondering if you could give me some pointers on how I can determine if the battery pack is in a good condition. From my understanding, if I were to check it with ODB I could look at the SOH (Needs to be 100%) and the Min/Max voltage of the cells should not have a large gap in it. Of do you have any other tips on what to look for?

My 2017 Ioniq is still going strong but I am considering trading it in for something with more range and features. So far considering the new redesigned model 3 or a Ioniq 5. Just feel bad trading in a car that has been so reliable.

Did the car not come with the Ioniq Electric badging on the rear or was it removed?

Kiabjørn and Classic-Ioniq the best combination.

Why does carscanner not show remaining kWh's? I love my 2017 Ioniq, great car.

I have a 2019 ioniq with 140,000km driven. I also have around 24kWh left in the main battery. I might add, I don’t own a home charger. Been charging at work, but I have mainly used fast chargers for the two years I had the car. When I bought it, it had 45,000 km driven, so I have driven around 100,000km in about two years, done a lot of fast charging. Doesn’t seem to be a big problem for the battery. Edit: I had to replace my AC Compressor for the AC / Heatpump. It stopped working as it should and sounded like an F-16 taking off. Other than that, it runs fine. It was under warranty.

Interesting to see the correlation between degradation and older cars with small batteries (whose owners generally charged to 100% to maximize what range they had) -- reinforces the wisdom of keeping charges to 80%. Will be interesting to see degradation scores once FePO₄ Iron Phosphate batteries become commonplace.

Thx for your test and your love for older EVs! I bought my Ioniq (MJ 2018) early this year with 20K on the ODO after having a few other EVs. I like the low seating position, the lowest consumption of all cars I owned before, physical buttons and the overall "behaviour" of the car. It drives, brakes and handles simply good - no issues whatsoever. No high tech, but everything works fine. I changed the transmission oil lately because this might help getting a lot of km without problems. I tested the degradation twice - just as you tested it - and was able to get 26,17 kWh / 26,07 kWh out of the battery. I was a little disappointed because I thought I could get out a little more because I thought the car has initially 28 kWh of available energy? But you noted it has only 26 kWh initially available? So my car has no degradation at all or how should I interprete my results?

New Ioniqs all seem to have around 26 kWh (sometimes you read 26,3kWh) usable capacity. Even Aviloo works with that value for a new car. So I reckon you do not have any significant degradation yet...

In Germany it is allowed to get 20A from one phase, while the other two has no power. So you can charge the Ioniq with 4.6kW without extra electrical parts. When you Check the power consumtion on the other two phases, you can charge even faster. The rule is the different between two Phases Never over 4.6kW. For example: So when phase 1 Consums 2kW and phase 2 consums 3kW, you can charge with 6.6kW on phase 3 because the different between 1 and 3 is 4.6kW. And the cable Must be thick enough. So the House does not burn down

My only fear with buying a used one is the reduction gear failing :/

The results seem to be in line with the ones I got with our 2017 Ioniq with 130 000 km, as the capacity I calculated was 24,35 kWh.

Similarly to how Björn did it. Start with a full (and preferably warm, around 15-20 celsius) battery, reset car trip and consumption info, start driving at a moderate and steady speed of 80-90 km/h until the car has close to no battery left. Then you can calculate the capacity by multiplying the consumtion by distance driven. For example: you get a consumption of 15 kWh/100 km and drove a distance of 150 km, with 2% of battery remaining. You multiply 15 kWh/100 km by 1,5 and divide by 0,98, giving a result of 22,96 kWh. The 1,5 here stands for 150 km and 0,98 for the amount of battery used. Ioniq had an usable capacity of 26 or 27 kWh as new depending on who you ask, there isn't really any concensus on that.@@werafonas

Hi Bjorn, why do you assume that the Ioniq has a 26kWh net capacity when new? According to your phone app, it seems that the usable capacity is 92.5%. If I calculate 26/0.925, the result is 28kWh gross. However, if I calculate 28kWh net capacity / 0.925, the result is 30.30kWh gross capacity, which is the actual gross capacity of the LG battery in the Ioniq. If we assume a 28kWh net capacity, the degradation is more evident. Thanks
