      Hyundai Ioniq 5 Does 666,255 km in 3.5 Years – Viral On KR Social Media

      by

      Hyundai Ioniq 5Simple calculations reveal that this Ioniq 5 has travelled around 541 km everyday for 3 years and 5 months, which is quite like a new record
      When thinking about buying an electric car, customers often have some worries about battery life. However, latest-gen EVs have advanced battery packs that can deliver a robust performance even in the long term. A relevant example is this new post on social media, where an Ioniq 5 owner reveals his vehicle’s odometer reading at a staggering 666,255 km. Let’s check some more details revealed by the Ioniq 5 owner.
      Trip to the moon and back
      Information about this particular Hyundai Ioniq 5 has been posted on a Facebook page. The owner mentions it as a 2023 model, although exact details of the variant have not been provided. With an odometer showing a massive 666,255 km, the post has gone viral on South Korean social media. The owner is a salesman by profession. The super high odometer reading reveals that he must be travelling quite frequently.
      Hyundai Ioniq 5 viral post
      According to the owner, this odometer reading of 666,255 km on his Ioniq 5 has come in just 3 years and 4~5 months. This is even more surprising, as it reveals that the owner must have been driving his Ioniq 5 for around 541 km every day, on an average. It includes Saturdays and Sundays and not a single day of rest for the last 3 years and 5 months. Assuming that the owner took rest on at least Sundays and wasn’t working on Korean official holidays, the average daily running would be even higher.
      Covering 541 km in a day in South Korea means a driving time of around 5-6 hours. And that does not cover practical scenarios such as traffic congestion and rest breaks. As a salesman, the Ioniq 5 owner must also be managing his professional commitments such as visiting clients and attending meetings.
      Hyundai Ioniq 5 records over 6.6 lakh kms on odo
      It is not mentioned if the owner was driving the car himself or if he had a driver working for him. The possibility of covering 666,255 km in 3.5 years seems more possible with a driver. However, there is no such information given. 666,255 km is just around 1 lakh km short of a round trip to the moon. If the owner maintains his current run rate, he can add 1 lakh km in less than a year.
      Original battery lasted 580,000 km
      Another mind boggling information revealed in the post is that the original battery of the Ioniq 5 lasted an impressive 580,000 km. That’s unpreceded, especially considering that actual battery warranty is much lower. It varies depending on the market. For example, the Ioniq 5 in the US and Australia is available with a battery warranty of 8-10 years. However, there’s a cap of 1.60 lakh km. That means this Ioniq 5 battery lasted 3.6 times the kilometres covered in the warranty.
      Battery replaced free of cost by Hyundai
      At 580,000 km, this Ioniq 5 had clearly travelled more distance than covered under the warranty. Even then, Hyundai replaced the battery completely free of cost. It is likely that Hyundai has treated this as an exceptional case and rewarded the owner accordingly.
      In India, Hyundai had launched the Ioniq 5 in January 2023 at the Auto Expo. The EV is imported into India as CKD units and assembled at the company’s plant in Sriperumbudur, near Chennai, Tamil Nadu. It is currently available at a starting price of Rs 46.30 lakh. The Ioniq 5 in India is offered with an 8 year / 1.60 lakh km battery warranty. Product warranty is 3 years with unlimited kilometres. More

      Hyundai Insteroid Concept Teased With Wild Design – Inster EV On Steroids!

      by

      Hyundai Insteroid ConceptAround the middle of 2024, Hyundai launched Inster electric crossover and early this year, the company even launched a more adventurous-looking Inster Cross. Now, Hyundai has just teased the Insteroid Concept and it is an Inster on Steroids. This is a one-off concept that the company will soon unveil and it deserves your attention as it looks straight out of a Cyberpunk world.
      Hyundai Insteroid Concept Teased
      Small electric crossovers are quite common these days. Many brands are trying their hand in this genre. Hyundai has the Inster, which is an electric version of its small crossover SUV, Casper. When Hyundai launched Inster Cross, a slightly rudded-looking version of Inster, no one would have thought an Inster’s design could go any wilder than that.
      Hyundai Insteroid
      Hyundai is proving them wrong with Insteroid Concept. If this name is ringing any bells in you. Yes, it quite literally means an Inster on Steroids. The name is quite literal and befitting this concept and it is one of the wildest car designs we have seen lately. It doesn’t look anything like an Inster and at the same time, is instantly identifiable as an Inster, which is a weird statement to make.
      Hyundai Insteroid Rear Wing
      With Insteroid, Hyundai is demonstrating that they are not just about money making formulas and are willing to extract fun quotient in vehicular design. We have seen quite a few concepts from Hyundai where the company has just worked on making a cool looking car. With Insteroid Concept, Hyundai seems to have taken some inspiration from i20 WRC Racer.
      Hyundai Insteroid Flared Wheel Arches
      Inster EV On Steroids!
      While the pictures are blurry and dark, we can still understand the gravity of wildness this design is carrying. We can see a massive front bumper which protrudes outwards quite a bit. There’s no separate DRLs like Inster EV, but we have circular LED headlights with engulfing LED DRL signature. Bonnet has a large scoop which lends a lot of muscle.
      Hyundai Insteroid Rear Wing
      Speaking of, the most amount of muscle Insteroid Concept has received is in the form of its flared wheel arches. These wheel arches are filled by large aero disc wheels wrapped with fat tyres. At the rear, we can see that Insteroid gets a large new bumper along with Pixel-design LED tail lights along with circular LED signatures like that at the front.
      [embedded content]
      While we are at the rear, we have to address the elephant in this room, which is its ginormous roof spoiler. The teaser also shows Orange highlights along with a stripped out interior which is then populated by a roll cage. Hyundai is referring to Insteroid as a glitch in the car industry and it is not likely to pack the same powertrain as a standard Inster EV. Hyundai has not revealed whether it will be launched or it is just a celebration of their design direction. More

      Hyundai Creta Electric Makes Range Anxiety A Thing of the Past – Over 10k Charging Points Across India

      by

      Hyundai Creta ElectricWith a range of 473 km and access to over 10,000 EV charging points, Hyundai Creta Electric provides users complete freedom to explore their world
      For anyone planning to buy an EV, one of the important factors to consider is the range and charging options. Hyundai has ensured that Creta Electric works as an effective pill to eliminate range anxiety. Let us see the details about the battery, range and charging options to understand how Creta Electric addresses real-world driving needs and makes EV ownership more convenient.
      Creta Electric battery, range, charging time
      Two battery pack options are there with Creta Electric – a 42 kWh and a long-range 51.4 kWh unit. The 42-kWh battery pack is available with Executive, Smart, Smart (O) and Premium variants. The long-range battery pack is available with Smart (O) LR and Excellence LR variants. With the 42-kWh battery pack, range is 390 km (as per MIDC Part 1 + Part 2 Cycle). The larger battery pack offers a range of 473 km. Both packs are liquid cooled lithium-ion units, ensuring optimal performance and safety.
      Real-world range of Creta Electric can easily touch 400+ km. This is good enough for a full week of commuting and even for inter-city journeys. With significant improvements in charging infrastructure, users can also travel long distances across the country with their Creta Electric.
      11kW Home Smart Charger
      Charging time is a key concern for EV buyers, and Hyundai has addressed it with an efficient solution. Creta Electric comes with an 11 kW home charger, which is much better than what competition is offering currently. The 11 kW home charger allows Creta EV to charge from 10% to 100% in around 4 hours, while the larger battery pack takes 4.5 hours.
      For even faster charging, a 50 kW DC fast charger can be used, reducing charging time significantly. With this, both battery packs can go from 10% to 80% in just 58 minutes, ensuring minimal downtime and maximum convenience.
      Easily locate charging stations with myHyundai app
      Along with adequate range and fast charging, Hyundai has also ensured that Creta Electric users can easily find charging stations. This can be done with the myHyundai app that has more than 10,000 EV charging points mapped in its database. The app shows the nearest charging stations and slots that may be available for charging. Being able to easily locate a charging station significantly enhances the overall experience across both urban areas and highways.
      Seamless In-car payments
      Hyundai has also simplified the payment process at charging stations with its pioneering In-Car Payment system. As of now, around 1,500 charging stations support Hyundai’s In-Car Payment system. At any of these charging stations, the payment prompt is displayed on the infotainment screen. Users can then pay comfortably using the Hyundai Pay Wallet. Creta Electric’s In-Car Payment system ensures a seamless experience and eliminates hassles associated with using external payment methods.
      When it comes to addressing range anxiety, the Hyundai Creta Electric appears to be a step ahead of the competition. Hyundai has also focused on ensuring that the overall refuelling experience is better than what would expect from an ICE car. Overall, Creta Electric has prioritized convenience and efficiency, ensuring a hassle-free experience for users. More
