2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 — fast charging tapers earlier than it used to — buyer question from Boston

RoadDriverCommunity StarterFeb 24, 20262023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 LimitedBoston
On comparable road trips the charge rate now starts tapering sooner. I am trying to separate charger sharing, battery temperature, software changes and actual battery health. I am in Boston. I would rather test this logically than replace parts.

Charge curves lie if you don't match starting SOC and temp. Match starting SOC and battery temp if you're comparing 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 charge sessions. That's where I'd start. This is from a 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 in Boston. Have you gotten a second quote in writing? I'll poke at it this weekend.

Low-voltage gremlins will strand you even with a full pack. Try a second charger before blaming the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 — site sharing and pack temp change the curve a lot. I'd do that before spending real money. This is from a 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 in Boston. Verbal 'we'll take care of it' is not a plan. This is the version I'd tell a friend.

Quick add on that: On the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5, I'd get the 12V/DC-DC side checked even if the traction pack looks fine. I'd do that before spending real money. On “fast charging tapers earlier than it used,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Verbal 'we'll take care of it' is not a plan. I'll update if anything new shows up.

Agree — and I'd add this: Leave the alerts on the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 so service can see what you saw. I'd do that before spending real money. That's the sequence I'd use. I'd rather be boring and correct. If the story changes I'll post the new data.

Don't clear the alert just to make the screen pretty. Leave the alerts on the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 so service can see what you saw. That's where I'd start. This is from a 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 in Boston. Happy to compare notes if your setup is different. Not trying to scare you — just skip the expensive first guess. I'd rather look cautious in this thread than stuck later.

I'd treat 12V warnings as a no-ignore. On the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5, I'd get the 12V/DC-DC side checked even if the traction pack looks fine. I'd do that before spending real money. On “fast charging tapers earlier than it used,” that was the fork that mattered for me. That's the sequence I'd use. This is the filter I use when the thread starts repeating itself. That's my plan before I call anyone.

If it doesn't change the out-the-door or the repair estimate, it's noise. This is me being the wet blanket on purpose.

That's a good start, but I wouldn't stop there. Try a second charger before blaming the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 — site sharing and pack temp change the curve a lot. That's where I'd start. This is from a 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 in Boston. If you share a photo of the worksheet, easier to sanity-check. Only after sitting overnight so far.

It did fast charging tapers earlier than it used twice this week, both times after sitting. No change in mileage feel. I already checked the easy fluid levels.

It did fast charging tapers earlier than it used twice this week, both times after sitting. No change in mileage feel. No warning lights, which is why I'm documenting it.

Cleared nothing. I want service to see the alert on the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 first. If it repeats twice more I'll book time.
