Rescuing a Ioniq 5 in Coastal San Diego
Hotel guests near Del Mar sometimes leave the Ioniq 5's remote climate feature running, and that slow 12V drain paired with salt air on the connectors is what brings us out most. We jump the 12V, and the dense charging nearby usually means just a short bridge-charge.
Del Mar sits right on the I-5 charging corridor. A single charge block usually gets you to a nearby fast charger. The flat dispatch fee drives most of the bill here.
Why a Ioniq 5 strands
The Ioniq 5 can suffer a slow 12V drain if accessories, a dashcam, or the app's remote climate feature get left running, and a dead 12V will stop the car from unlocking or accepting a charge even with a healthy main pack.
The charge port sits on the rear passenger-side fender, and it also supports Vehicle-to-Load, so a fully dead 12V is more likely the culprit than an empty main battery.
How we get your Ioniq 5 moving in Del Mar
- We adapt our truck's NACS outlet to J1772 and connect directly to the Ioniq 5's charge port for a Level 2 top-up.
- We jump the 12V system first when it is down, then confirm the high-voltage side wakes before adding range.
- A single 15-minute block usually gets you the few miles to a coastal fast charger. In Del Mar a short top-up usually reaches a nearby fast charger.
