Great stuff. Another feature: most of the hard buttons below the touch screen function as toggles. If you are on the screen showing realtime energy use and press the Warmer button to turn adjust heated seats, steering wheel, etc., you can just tap the Warmer button again to return to the realtime energy. Saves digging through menus.

Touch the small square indentation on either front door handles to lock the car if your key fob is in your possession. No need to take it or your smartphone out of your pocket to lock the car. It's how I lock the car when parking in public places. Works every time.

Great video Carlos, thanks. In the opening seconds you are shown plugging in your charger to a rather long extension cord (and a lighter gauge one at that). Best practice is to avoid extension cords entirely, and use the shortest and heaviest gauge extension cords (12ga/20A, 25ft max length, shorter is better) when a cord is needed. There are times when the voltage drop introduced by a lightweight long extension cord will cause the charging system's protective circuity to shut off charging (a nasty surprise to find the next morning when you're already late to work). There's also increased overheating/fire risk.

Appreciate the video as someone in the market for an Ioniq 5 (or maybe 6! we'll see once I test drive)

Great tips! I learned some new tips like the Map and Nav filter or the trunk trick to turn off alert and light. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Carlos. Great tips. I’ve owned an Ionig 5 for only 6 weeks, and there is so much to learn about driving an EV. Every tip helps. Still anxious about my first 1, 500 mile trip from Ontario Canada to Florida.

Excellent tips! Several I wasn't aware of (like the trunk). Happy New Year!

Great tips. This really shows you that these car makers don’t have regular people testing their products.

I only clicked on the video because of the dog in the thumbnail. Looks just like my old dog, Buddy. He was a Lab, Boxer, Mastiff. The best dog ever.

To prevent the 12v battery to go dead while having the back door open, put the car in "Utility mode" because that’s when the main battery will be used to power any plugged-in devices, built-in lamps like the roof lights and back door light and not draw from the 12v battery. In Utility Mode the 12v battery til also be charged and kept on trickle charge for the duration.

Great video ! I'm waiting for my Ioniq to be delivered within the next few weeks and your video was very useful, thanks for it !

[willie]

Great video. The information you provided was clearly presented and actually useful for I5 owners. So tired of all the EV shills, and haters, cluttering up YouTube these days.
