You might be spending too much time on this forum and worrying too much about potential issues.
You’re probably right, thanks for the reality check.
While it may seem like there are many issues discussed here, these are actually quite rare in the grand scheme of things.
We’ve had our Ioniq 5 for a year without any of the common issues. For every complaint about the 12V battery, there are hundreds of satisfied customers. Remember, no car is perfect, but the benefits of the Ioniq 5 greatly outweigh its drawbacks.
I’ve had a great experience with my 2023 Ioniq 5 so far. It’s been reliable, and the driving experience continues to impress me. The only downside is the tech could be more up-to-date, but that’s a small gripe.
After a bad experience with another brand, I did extensive research and concluded that Hyundai’s warranty and the Ioniq’s roomier interior make it a superior choice. I’m definitely switching when my current lease ends.
@Oli
Haha, I remember passing someone on the highway once. Was that you by any chance?
I’ve had a wonderful experience with my 2022 model. It’s been reliable and a joy to drive.
While my car has generally been reliable, I did have a frustrating experience with getting a radar unit replaced. It took much longer than expected but was eventually resolved under warranty.
This is the best car I’ve owned. In three years, I’ve only had to bring it in for routine maintenance. The 12V battery issue is common, but an easy fix. I replaced mine with a better quality battery and have had no issues since.
@Tatum
I appreciate your perspective, thank you.
Something to consider: the U.S.-manufactured Ioniq 5s qualify for federal incentives, which could make them significantly cheaper than the imported models. Can anyone confirm this?

Yes, Hyundai is currently offering a $7500 discount on these models to stay competitive.
@Ashton
That’s great to hear, thanks for the update!

It seems like Hyundai is effectively reducing the price to match the federal credit, which is a smart move.
I’ve had my 2022 model for a while now. The only issue was a tailgate rattle, which was fixed during a recall service. Other than that, it’s been smooth sailing.
Are you hesitant to buy an EV because of potential issues like the 12V battery or ICCU? These are minor and usually quick fixes, especially compared to the maintenance required for conventional cars. If you can charge at home, that’s a huge advantage.
@Zen
My daily commute is short, so home charging will cover most of my needs. Public charging options are available nearby if needed. Thanks for pointing out the advantages of home charging.
I’ve reached 100,000 miles with my Ioniq 5 and had to replace the 12V battery and the rear motor under warranty. Despite these issues, I’d still recommend this car.

That’s impressive mileage! How is the main battery holding up?
I’ve owned my Ioniq 5 for two years and have 23,000 miles on it. My only concern has been with the L2 charging speed post-recall. Aside from that, I love this car and only wish I had waited for the 2025 model for its additional features.
