Eco mode may not necessarily provide the best fuel economy, but its curtailed throttle response will extend the life of your tires. A common misconception about EVs is that the tires wear faster due to the higher weight. While more weight does equal more friction, it doesn't account for ICE vehicles of the same curb weight which have their tires last way longer. The major contributing factor in tire wear is torque transfer, and EVs put out a lot of torque all at once.

This is such a good video. My wife does this and it annoys me. She'll put it in Eco mode and complain that the vehicle (Santa Cruz or Ioniq 6) is so slow and she can never get the mpg that I get when I'm in sport mode. Learn to control your lead foot and it doesn't matter what mode you're driving in. Also I found that using Level 2 regen is my sweet spot where I can still coast with my foot off longer and still keep the battery going longer on each charge. I also don't blast the AC and keep it at around 74-76 in the car while my wife likes it in the mid 60s with a higher fan.

You missed an important thing about Eco mode vs other modes. Above 76 MPH, all modes other than Eco engage the front motor and leave it on until you drop below ~73 MPH. Eco mode allows you to drive over 76 MPH and keep the front motor disengaged. Since there are states with 80 MPH speed limits, this could be a daily thing for some drivers.

Great stuff, as usual. One observation about my AWD Ioniq 5 running under Cruise Control that varies from your data. When I am in i-Pedal AND Cruise Control is on the rear motor will not engage UNLESS I step down hard on the accelerator. I tested this at 55mph going up very steep hills- only the rear motor is receiving power. I should add that I drive almost entirely with Cruise Control on and live in a semi-rural area. Along with Lane Keep Assist it makes the car about 85% self-driving and returns very good efficiency. Thus, for me, the best formula has been i-Pedal + Cruise Control. Would like to hear your thoughts/experience with this combo.

Thanks! I just double checked this while I was driving on the highway with HDA. Once HDA is activated it wipes out manual regen controls. Which makes sense, HDA takes over all braking and accelerating duties and it's actually programmed to try and be as efficient as possible. So it will shut off the front motor when not needed or will turn it on when you suddenly request power. I believe even on back roads where hda is not fully enabled, the adaptive cruise system is still doing the same thing and having full control of regen and front motor usage. But I could be wrong haha, do you still see the ipedal icon or any Regen level icons when you have cruise control enabled? I'm not seeing it on mine, but I was just on the highway and don't recall 100% if it shows on local roads or not.

Hey Victor. Some good points you made here. I should send this to potential Hyundai group EV buyers. I made the mistake of letting my car sit below 20% and came to a dead 12v battery. I already knew about this issue due to channels like yours but hoped it didn't happen to me. I only let it sit on the street as my builder kept leaving screws on my drive and I was trying to avoid getting a flat tire tyre (which I only got a few weeks ago). Recovery were able to come out at now cost to me and boost the battery. However, the dealership said they need the car to come on a truck to diagnose the fault, as when the battery is boosted it can be fine for a some time (as you know) and they can only diagnose the 12v when it is fully flat. Though the recovery company Hyundai use (AA here in Britain) have a policy to try to fix the cars to avoid towing. The dealership basically say you need to try to ask them to not boost it and contact the dealership for them to explain. They should just trust customers had the issue (as it is a common issue) and replace the battery. Some annoyances from me on this issue: Firstly, I think the car should keep a log of these faults (even if it means an extra sensor in the 12v battery) and the Bluelink app should notify you if it looks like the 12v is running flat. Secondly I don't know why the car doesn't charge the 12v battery down to a much lower main battery percentage, say 5%. Thirdly, I think Hyundai should carry out gradual recall and replace all the 12v batteries/ 12v trickle chargers and replace with Lithium Iron batteries (for added resilience in charge cycles) and add a sensor combined with software update to improve trickle charging. They know about the issues so should just sort it out from the start, not wait for the problems, then see if they can diagnose to only replace with a similar or same battery.

Thanks! Hmm have you noticed that it happens with slight incline on road surfaces? You got it right about the initial acceleration from a standstill up to about 15 mph but from that point on the front motor should be shutting off an eco mode unless you're going up some kind of incline. Try going foot to the floor on a relatively flat road and see if you can get it to trigger both motors at speeds above 15 mph. Make sure you're not in ipedal and make sure if you're switching between Eco and normal that you give Eco a couple seconds without any accelerator pedal input to sort itself out. As you can see in my video I went foot to the floor and it would not trigger both motors. And my gv60 is the exact same way, it will only trigger with inclines or speeds below 15 mph. I would imagine the ev6 should be the same.

We are many, who out of habit press the accelerator much harder than needed with an EV, which has full Torque all the way up from zero revolutions.

Nice explanations. Let's add some of my experiences and physics.just for fun and learning for others. You'll know this. About the 4th mistake. First I'm living in europe and we have the WLTP range. My ioniq 5 project 45 AWD will make this range when I drive with 100km/h (102 on cruise) with an temperature of 20 degrees celsius. If I drive 1 km/h faster my range reduces with 2 km (rough expectation) Somtheing as ..Every km faster than 100 reduces the range with 2% meand that when driving 140 km/ the range will be 80% less as with 100% (It's in practice a little less but easy for calculations.), When driving 90 km/h (10 km slower) the range will increase with 20%. Seconds (cols/warm) The law of Boyle Gaylussac tells that when temperature ibcreases in a closed volume with 1% also the pressure increases with 1% But my car is not driving in a closed volume.... In other words..When the temperature increases 1 % (in degrees kelvin of coarse) we will only have to push through 1% less weight of air at any given speed. 1% is in normal situations about 3 degrees of celsius difference (also 3 degrees Kelvin). We can expect an extra usage of 1% (1% less range) for every 3 degrees celsius difference lower temp. This EXCLUDES the energy usage for climatization.With 15 degrees celsius (no need for climatization) my range will be 2% less than with 21 degrees celsius. If I should drive 1 km/h slower than 100 the range will be the same with 15 degrees as with 21 ...only driving a few seconds/h longer. When I need to drive with 30 degrees celsius I'll use climatization (22 - 23 degrees in the car). The extra usage of the climatisation is not very important for range because the car needs less energy to drive......until we are coming into a traffic jam. Only effect is that my range is not increasing more because the higher temp. (This differences we also notice in petrol usage in ICE cars). Also all this is based on experiences with no differences in wind. When we are driving in rain we also have to push the rain out of the way with the car...this is heavier than air.....the range will drop depending on how heavy rain. (WLTP range means 4 km driving / % charge....keeping a reserve of ca 10%)

Also, remember that the range displayed is guessing based on recent driving habits so it will have a high range if you've mostly done city driving so don't trust it if you are about to do a long trip and there are a lot of apps that will estimate the battery usage for you and you can add a buffer to account for any cold, elevation, wind, that you have that day. All of these things affect gas powered cars as well, but there are a lot more gas stations than fast charging stations so it's not nearly as noticeable. Lastly, make sure you check that the charging stations you plan to use are working via a reliable app before you leave as I trusted Google Maps once and it took me to a station that was taken down while they rebuilt the Sheetz that was next to it.

Honestly, out of all four "common mistakes", I think only the third -- charge state vs 12V battery -- really qualifies as "common" or even "mistake". The range stuff, yeah...people new to EVs have a learning curve, but EV owners in general understand that stuff. And even gas cars lose significant range if they're driven fast. The only reason they get away with not losing range to heat the cabin is they're so inefficient in the first place. As far as the Eco/i-Pedal stuff goes, well...yeah, i-Pedal keeps the front motor engaged. But if you watch carefully, in Eco mode the front motor doesn't get nearly the power it would without Eco. It's engaged just to provide the braking needed for i-Pedal. Maybe you lose a tad efficiency, but Eco is still helping. The two don't literally negate each other. And to your second point, _that's what it's there for_ ! Maybe you don't like the lack of power, but the whole point is the same as all the other driver assist: sure, you could do it on your own, but many people prefer to let the car take over some of the mental workload. You don't need 0-60 in 4 seconds just to get on the freeway, if you're driving properly. Planning ahead is critical for all driving scenarios, and people did just fine in cars that had 15 second 0-60 times or even worse. Sure, every now and then there's a short on-ramp that's extra challenging, but that's no reason to just dismiss the entire driver-assist feature out of hand. So the whole idea that one should never use Eco and i-Pedal at the same time is just bogus. Maybe it's good to be aware of how they interact, but you can still get the benefits of both, if you want. If you don't like how the car drives in Eco, that's fine...but telling others they're making a mistake if they use it? Absurd click-bait.

But unfortunately many people are doing it thinking it's the most efficient way to drive, I'm trying to help them understand that it is indeed not. It's a common mistake if that person's goal is to get best efficiency when combining eco mode and ipedal. The live power distribution meter makes it quite plain and simple. Ipedal cancels out eco mode because ipedal keeps both motors permanently engaged. Eco mode in every other level will disengage the front motor above 15mph and it will not come back on except when the road inclines to a certain level. But if ipedal is on, eco mode cannot disengage the front motor. At that point you are driving in normal mode (if you have the fixed mode). Some people want the slower eco mode response, if that's what they want then it's not a mistake. But many people choose eco mode blindly thinking it automatically gets better efficiency. Again, it's a mistake if you think it's the ONLY way to get best efficiency. I stated that very clearly in the video. Not sure how it's click baity, these are common mistakes talked about at length on the forums because so many people are unaware. I'm not saying every owner is making these mistakes.

Hi Victor … as always great video with very useful information. Just wanted to let you know that I finally took delivery of my 2023 BMW 530e PHEV. Love the car and am still learning all the features. The all-electric range is only 22 miles (which I was aware of), but with my normal daily driving that was going to be fine. That said, I have been surprised by how long it is taking to fully charge (even a partially charged battery) using the 110 charging cable. The first night I plugged in around 8 pm and the car was not fully charged until 9:30 the next morning! As such, I have decided to install a Level 2 charger with 48 amps. Still will likely take 5-6 hours to fully charge but I don’t want to leave in the morning without a fully charged battery. I’m also going to use the hybrid mode if I know I’ll be driving more than 20 miles, realizing that even in hybrid mode I may end up draining the battery and having to rely on gas only. Obviously, there is no perfect system. A PHEV will help to eliminate range anxiety, but not always allow you to go completely green, while a full EV will require a complete understanding of the efficiency parameters of your particular EV and EV battery technology in general.

City Regen, ipedal makes a lot of sense if you don't want to be switching levels on the fly. Highway Regen, either use auto regen at the lowest setting or I'd highly recommend switching between 0 Regen and all of the other levels as needed. The alternative is to just turn on HDA adaptive cruise on the highway, it uses regen for braking and will switch between levels on its own very efficiently.

On my Santa Cruz it stops sending power to the rear if you don't press the accelerator very hard. Even if you "lock" the vehicle in AWD mode it auto cancels over 37 MPH / 60 KPH to save fuel. Oddly the Santa Cruz doesn't have an Eco mode, only Normal, Sport and Snow. And no way I would be limiting the A/C here in FL even if it did gain some range, its just too darn hot most of the time.

If done right you can execute full stops from any speed using just the paddles and your foot never needs to touch either pedal. Footless braking is what I call it, a very cool yet rare thing in the EV space.

@CarsJubilee
Жыл бұрын
If you have it set to level 0, pressing the brake pedal will not initiate regen braking (unless you do 10 sequential foot braking stops or something like that). In all other levels yes, pressing brake pedal will initiate regen. The problem is it's hard to see or feel when the switch over happens between regen and friction brakes when only using the physical brake pedal. Using the paddles gives you a clear sense of what is being used. The different regen settings are there so owners can fine tune things to match how they want the regen system to behave AND adjust how heavy the accelerator pedal feels AND adjust how much regen braking you get as you lift off accelerator. These all apply even if you primarily use the physical foot brake.

The car is just telling you the estimated range based on your recent driving habits.

EPA range usually can be achieved in warm weather and driving near the speed limits.

Based on this video and others it seems the most common misconception is the need for AWD models with all the trimmings and seeking efficiencies. Nine months with the SE RWD long range battery using the various modes I find little differences between ECO and Normal. The Sport Mode, zero Regen is the most powerful and just for show. Using ECO and manual regen 3, the car wakes up with these, yields over 5 mpkwh in local area. Highway driving at 64 mph yields 3.8. The biggest issue as to the subject, “mistakes, you mention, are for the dual motor models and appart of comfort and nice to have items, to those seeking efficiency and longer range, the RWD delivers. As you mentioned, the greatest factor as to efficiency, is the driver. Those that “drive the EV like they stole it” are having fun. They use Sports Mode, zero regen for max performance. As to the super efficiency types, each one must find what gives the highest mikes per based on roads, wx and traffic. Thanks.

I think it comes down to the driver. Auto Regen uses the sensors and cameras to detect the car ahead and adjust accordingly. But it can only detect that one car directly ahead. An engaged driver can see well beyond one car ahead and can decide earlier when and how to deal with that. Maybe coasting vs regen. But that takes a lot of concentration and an understanding of when to coast and when to regen, and may not even make noticeable gains. I'd say the majority of people will see best efficiency in auto regen if they know how to use it. Just make sure it's not in auto regen level 3 haha. Heard a lot of people making that mistake.

Does the eco mode thing apply to the EV6 GT? My wife get too frighten using Normal or sport mode on the GT. And she said she will keep it at eco mode.

I have the ioniq 6 sel awd 20inch wheels. Will i get more range if I switch to 20lbs 18inch wheels?
@CarsJubilee
Жыл бұрын
Assuming the 20inch wheels are heavier (which is probably the case), then you should see a pretty significant increase in range. Bumping from 20inch down to 19inch wheels with my model y is about a 15 mile range gain.

I need some advice in battery range issues. I purchased my Ionic5 1 month ago. The first month a 100% charge would give a range of 520-530 Km. Last weekend I made my first long trip 650km. I had to stop 4 times and I used superchargers to charge Justo to 80% of the battery. At 80% would give me a range of 280km which I thought was very low. Now that I am at home I charge the car to 100% but it only gives me a range of 400Km which is very low compared to the initial 530Km. Do you know if there any performance issues with the batteries? Is this normal in the ionic5? Is there a way I can see in the computer the battery performance? I hope you can help.

Range is highly dependent on how fast you are driving and the weather. The faster you drive or the faster average speed will result in less range, EVs are less efficient at higher speeds. The hotter or colder it is, the more you use AC or heating and that also can drastically reduce range. On a hot day, AC use can reduce range by 20% or more. My guess is there's nothing wrong but if you track the exact same route, similar weather and traffic conditions and it's drastically different (lower than before) then there could be an issue. Otherwise take a close look at how, where and when you were driving to see why things changed. Hope that helps!

Most people try to keep charge levels between 20%-80% whenever possible. Above 20% to avoid dead 12v, below 80% for battery health. But you are supposed to charge to 100% once a month or so to help re balance the battery cells.

How can you get 300 - 350 miles from a full charge Ioniq 5? I am in Canada and I get a little over 400k. It looks like you would be gettng 500k

It's possible but only in the best and most ideal conditions. In warm weather, traveling near the speed limit, very gentle on the accelerator pedal and making sure to use only Regen braking for all braking maneuvers. In city style driving like that is how I averaged 350 miles of range and on the highway staying below 60mph is how I consistently saw close to 300 miles. But that's not a realistic speed if you road trip a lot and live near higher speed limits highways. If you need to 70mph the range drops pretty drastically. Probably 200-250 miles of range.

That is a common rattle point but mine was a trunk rattle created by the service dept. They eventually fixed it by shimming the latch.

I've been considering getting a RWD model for more range but this vid is making it seem like i can get the same efficiency depending on my driving style with AWD. Is that correct or am i missing something?

The IONIQ 5 is really gapped by the IONIQ 6 in general efficiency. I’m getting 408 miles on RWD SE IONIQ 6. Disclaimer, I guess it’s just estimating that.

Ya the aero on the ioniq 6 is very impressive, if I didn't need or want AWD I would be very interested in the RWD ioniq 6.

Whats your feeling on charging limits? 80 vs90 vs 100 (on level 2 charging)
@CarsJubilee

I try to stay close to 80% that seems to be the general consensus, especially if you are level 2 charging at home and can charge whenever.

By the way under named situations also ICE cars have a reduced range. We tested the EV6 AWD 333 PS/608 Nm against Alfa-Romeo Stelvio Qudrofoglio with 510 Ferrari-PS and 600 Nm. So why that is only a discussion with EV? Because people do not want to hear about truth, physics and facts but create their own universe. I lately made to high mountain routes and 450 km roundtrip. Staying overnight in a nice hotel with 11 kWh wallbox (SoC at arrival 68%). Next day we continued back home where we arrived with 72%. What ICE car could ever do that? So the issues mostly are rediculous once you understood EV driving really😎🇨🇭

That's true, I think EVs just see it more on the efficiency screens etc.
