Nice video. What was the ballpark project cost for the equipment plus installation? Not to pry, it's just that I'm looking into these and wanting to make sure we are getting a competitive price
I have the same Mitsubishi VFR outdoor unit on my home here in Wisconsin. We went through a week long cold snap (-5 average ) and it kept up just fine but it ran my electric bill up about $125 more than I have ever paid since we built the house 17 years ago. So I am not sure that I am totally onboard the heat pump movement at this point yet. My contractor that installed the system said that they are installing these systems like crazy here in Wisconsin. Only time will tell.
You can. If you tell it when your reduced rates start, it will start charging then. So if you want it to start charging at 1:00am, put that time in as the time for your reduced rates start.
Lots of deaths in S. Korea because of Hyundai and Kia due to Sudden Unintended Acceleration. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KVYBr0oxrjs.html
This is a perfectly executed video. It has all the information I was looking for at just the right pace with no BS. I wish more people made content like this. Subscribed.
good to see a user posting real info. I have a smaller house, 1x multisplit with 4 inside units (3x 9000 BTU, 1x 6000 BTU), and 1x large (12,000 BTU) single split unit for redundancy (in case of issues). The house is 100% electric, and these units are our only heat/cool source. Based on last 2 years energy consumption, we just installed 7.5kW solar panels, and our grid offers 1-for-1 kWh swap (no cash), so every kWh over-produced in summer, we get back for free in winter, with a theoretical zero-sum per year. We also use a solar water heater with antifreeze closed-loop (all-year), 200-liter hot-water storage tank, supported by a 3.5 kW immersion heater for winter, which we put on a 1-hour-per-day timer in the evening - if needed. Investment return in max. 5 years (prob. 3-4 years), with 20-year expected minimum system life. As you say, - quiet, fast, economic, and with added features like air circulation filters, silver ionisers, motion sensors etc. Insulation is a critical aspect, even if only ensuring no draughts and no major heat bridges (thin windows/doors, or uninsulated ceilings/floors). Many people in UK say they cannot fully insulate their old(er) houses economically, but major improvements can often be made with careful choices and targeted methods. An infrared thermometer is cheap these days to scan for hotspots.
hello. Introducing the cause of car Sudden Unintended Acceleration I found. The cause of sudden unintended acceleration of the car is that the MLCC inside the engine control unit is out of order. MLCC(Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitors) For more information, search on RU-vid as follows. Keyword: [Root Embedded] Causes of car Sudden Unintended Acceleration. I hope that my data will be helpful in identifying the cause of the sudden acceleration of the car. thank you.
How do I go back to the original setting screen just like you have where it shows battery and gas percentage? On the right side where it says remaining time
Hey Eric. Just bought a 2018 Ioniq 28 and loving it so far. Very informative video about scheduling. Certainly takes the guesswork out of things. But here's a question for you. I usually charge my car in work, and the car uses approx. half the battery to get home. I don't need to charge at home as the remaining battery gets me back to work. But obviously I'd like to have a warm car when leaving the house to go to work, without costing me money. Is it possible to schedule the heating to come on without charging the car?
Hey .. I am in Belle River .. I own a 2023 Hyundai Kona EV and drive to London 5x per week. My winter range (depending on temp) with winter tires is around 350kms.. summer I am about 450ish
Ok.. You drive right by my place then.. I'm just off the 401 in Chatham. My max in the summer is around 230 and the lowest its ever gotten down to is around 160... I don't worry about it to much. My daily commute is only 60 Km.. I always have lots of extra range.
Hi Eric, Long time no see... 😊 Regarding the winter tyres range loss, there are several aspects to consider, but in a nutshell I think the real range loss is the one you see when you return from work. I have the same Ioniq model and my impression coincides with that measurement, not the total estimated range displayed at 100% Also, now the winter is not so bad, at least here in Europe... 😊 Thank you for the video 👍
@@ehoek Also, as I've learned, in winter all cars (EV or not), are getting a higher air resistance due to increased density of the cold air. And also we need to remember that this resistance increases exponentially with the driving speed, so winter is the worst time to drive at high speed...
The BIG difference between my Cellphone Battery Dying and an EV Battery dying is that my Cellphone battery won't cost 20/30 thousand to replace it. You are if you think EV's are the future, they won't be. But go ahead and waste your money on a Battery operated vehicle.
thanks for your help... or your explanation...i wonder what do you think about this - i have egolf, 20kwh usable version, about 28.000km and i always charge it to 90%, once a month to 100% and i daily usually use granny charger (2.2kw)... but nowdays i use granny charger and i use lots of DC charging (44kw), but always to 80-90%, never more. i don't see any battery degradation, but still, i dont have much kilometers on it. do you think it will be ok? will it be ok if i use 3 or 4 times a week DC with granny charging between? it is a really small battery so i need to charge it almost everyday...
great video, thanks. I'm trying to learn how my 2018 Ioniq 28 Premium uses the heat pump and the resistor heater together during cold starts, do you know if they both use the high voltage battery or does one of them use the 12 volt battery? As far as I know it uses both heaters in the beginning and when the heat pump is warmed up it uses only the heat pump.
From what I know about the car, anything above -10c it will use the heat pump, below that it uses a PTC heater, a type of electric heater. It does not use both at the same time. Only the high voltage battery is used.
Mini Solar (Winter) Tip: e.g. a Beuler and all other hungry electricity consumers can be continuously adjusted down to e.g. 300W with a 5000W dimmer (7EUR). I run 5 dimmers in parallel on an 850W inverter. Kettle 2.2KW at 150W runs 12 hours a day, so the water is always hot. The room is also nicely heated. 2.5KW washing machine runs in parallel with dimmed to 200...400W. Iron, dishwasher, oven, electric heater, coffee machine, all internal heaters are throttled with me. Videos about it on my channel ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eC2olbCBhh0.html The inverter stays cool, quiet and the MOSFETs remain intact because extreme current peaks no longer arrive at the inverter. Now every Mini PV Inverter is enough to sell large devices...
We live in Near Toronto Ontario. currently paying $400-$500/mo for electric to heat the 2500 sqf. house in the cold months of the winter. Based on your experience do you think will the Mitsubishi central heat pump reduce our electricity bill?
likely it will significantly reduce the bill but it depends on outdoor temp. Months where the outdoor temp is averaging 20-30 degrees Fahrenheit (or higher) are where you will see amazing efficiency from units like the Hyper-Heat and similar.
@@chrisE815 we currently use electric heat strips when the temperature falls below 32f and that is the most expensive way of heating. According to Mitsubishi, their cold climate heat pump works at 100% efficiency up to 5f and 80% efficiency at -13f. If that’s true we must see some saving in electricity with those kind of heat pumps.
If you live in cold climates, you really want the Mitsubishi P series like this guy has. The PUZ-HA equipment has some of the best cold weather output compared to any brand. Highly recommended.
I do. Just been really busy. The wheels came with the car when I bought it. Next time I am working in the garage I will look to see if there are any numbers on them.
What is the steel wheel you used for your winter tires? Is it from another Hyundai? Also what is the size? We have a 2019 we just bought and I will need to put winters on for my wife next year. Thks.
I just cleaned these rims and can not find any markings on them. The tire size is the same as the summer tires. I am sure any place that sells tires will be able to tell you what rims you need.
Thanks for an informative video! As an electric car owner I totally agree with you. The first question to answer before buying an electric car, is how am I going to charge it. AC- charging at night at home in the garage or on the driveway is the natural charing environment for an electric car. All other solutions are quite more challenging for the owner.
You should get an increase in mileage due to 3 factors As you say summer tyres ( not such a blocky tread pattern ) the wheel rims ( original ) more aerodynamic than what you had on and the all important factor the warmer weather helps with the battery efficiency
The extra earth strap can anchor anywhere on the gearbox. You don’t need to access it from underneath the car or to remove anything. I just bought an 18” strap from eBay and fixed it to a gearbox bolt that I could reach from above. No more hesitation problem.
I should add that I did this mod before Hyundai issued the recall. At the time I did it, my local Hyundai dealership were in denial and wanted to book the car in for “investigation”, which might have been expensive and certainly inconvenient. And the hesitation was intermittent, so not easy to reproduce on cue.
I had that done to my Ioniq 6 weeks ago but never checked where they put the cable, thanks for showing that. Very nice blue color (just like mine) . Here in Sweden (400 km west of Stockholm) spring has just arrived and I will put the summer tires on next week.
Thanks Eric for this update my wife has the 38KW version, I wonder if it applies to that model as well? On another subject have you replaced the gear reduction oil in your car? I replaced the oil in my Kona @ 35000km and it was black with lots of silver shine to it. The oil at the dealership is really overpriced @ $59 a liter, would love to find a better price somewhere. From what I've read on message boards both Ioniq and Kona suffer from this issue. The dealer feels it's normal? Funny all my years of changing oil in manual transmissions the oil was clear with the exception of the presence water, or if the tranny was on the way out it would be full of bits.
Interesting regarding this ground wire. One of my friends had an Ioniq EV, which occasionally had the peculiarity that the acceleration was delayed when he stepped on the accelerator pedal. It never happened from a standstill, but typically when the car rolled towards a traffic light after which it had to accelerate while the car was in motion. On Ioniq forums I could see that for some this was solved by adding a ground wire in much the same way as the video shows. Thanks Eric for showing this in your video.
Interesting. I'm in the UK and I've just had a recall notice for our 2018 IONIQ BEV for the update and ground strap but the noted symptom is a very small risk of fire when charging.
Hallo! Thanks for your informative videos! I live in Sweden and are an owner of the same car model as yours, a Hyundai Ioniq electric, 28 kW. My experience of winter range is exactly the same as yours. When the temperature drops to around - 15 °, the range is half of the summer range. So the it decreases from 230 km to 130 km. The car still does it's jobb well as a medium range car, but as a driver you have to be aware of this behavior. I believe that the battery suffers from the love temperature and is unable to release more power.
