Electric Vehicles (EVs)
Battery electric vehicles (BEVs or
EVs) are driven using a battery and
an electric motor. While general vehi-
cles use an internal combustion
engine and gasoline as fuel, electric
vehicles use electrical energy that is
charged inside the high voltage bat-
tery. As a result, electric vehicles are
eco-friendly in that they do not
require fuel and do not emit exhaust
gases.
Characteristics of Electric
Vehicles (EVs)
1. EVs are using the electrical ener-gy that is charged inside the high
voltage battery. In terms of air pol-
lution and greenhouse gas emis-
sions, EVs are cleaner than con-
ventional vehicles.
2. A 150 kW electric drive motor mated to a reduction gearbox
comprises the vehicle drivetrain.
This electric-only powertrain sig-
nificantly reduces engine room
noise and vibration while driving.
3. When decelerating or driving downhill, regenerative braking is
utilized to charge the high voltage
battery. This helps to minimize
energy loss and increases vehicle
range.
4. When the state of charge (SOC) of the battery is low, the EV battery
can be recharged through several
different charging methods. Refer
to “Charging Information" later in
this section.
Information
What does regenerative braking do?
Regenerative braking uses the electric
motor when decelerating or braking
which converts vehicle motion (kinetic
energy) to electrical energy to charge
the high voltage battery.
Battery Information
The vehicle is composed of a highvoltage battery that drives the
motor and air-conditioner, and an
auxiliary battery (12 V) that drives
the lamps, wipers, and audio sys-
tem.
The auxiliary battery is automati- cally charged when the vehicle is in
the ready ( ) mode or the high
voltage battery is being charged.

Main Components
On-Board Charger (OBC) :
A device that charges the high volt-
age battery by converting AC
power from a charging station to
DC power.
• Inverter : A device that transforms
direct current (DC) from the high
voltage battery into alternating cur-
rent (AC) to supply power to the
electric motor and transforms AC
back into DC when available to
charge the high voltage battery.
LDC : An LDC is a Low Voltage
DC-to-DC converter that trans-
forms power from the high voltage
battery to the low voltage battery
(12V) in order to supply electrical
power to the vehicle to operate the
lights, wipers, multimedia, etc. Electric Motor :
A device that con-
verts electrical energy from the
high voltage battery into mechani-
cal energy which is then trans-
ferred as rotational torque to the
wheels in order to drive the vehicle.
Reduction gear : Delivers rota-
tional force of the motor to the tires
at appropriate speeds and torque.
EV Battery (Lithium-ion) : On
board high voltage storage device
with a capacity up to 64 kWh
❈ OBC : On-Board Charger
❈ LDC : Low V oltage DC-DC Converter

Do not remove or disassem-
ble high voltage components
and high voltage battery con-
nectors and wires. Also, be
careful not to damage high
voltage components and the
high voltage battery. It may
cause serious injury and sig-
nificantly impact the perform-
ance and durability of the
vehicle.
When inspection and mainte-
nance is required for high volt-
age components, contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING

H5
High Voltage Battery (lithium-
ion polymer)
The charge amount of the highvoltage battery may gradually
decrease when the vehicle is not
driving.
The battery capacity of the high voltage battery may decrease
when the vehicle is stored in
high/low temperatures.
Electric range may vary depending on the driving conditions, even if
the charge amount is the same.
The high voltage battery may
expend more energy when driving
at high speed or uphill. These
actions may reduce the vehicle
electric range. The high voltage battery is used
when using the air-conditioner /
heater. This may reduce the vehi-
cle range. Make sure to set moder-
ate temperatures when using the
air-conditioner/heater.
Natural degradation may occur with the high voltage battery
depending on the number of years
the vehicle is used. This may
reduce the vehicle range.
If over time the maximum charge capacity and the maximum electric
range begin to degrade, contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer for
inspection and maintenance. If the vehicle will not be used for an
extended amount of time, it is rec-
ommended to fully charge the vehi-
cle to 100% before storing, and
then charge the vehicle periodically
(approximately every 3 months) to
prevent the EV battery from dis-
charging completely.
AC charge is recommended to keep the high voltage battery in
optimal condition.
Avoid storing the vehicle with a low
battery SOC % (e.g. below 20%).
Storing the vehicle with the EV bat-
tery capacity at a low SOC may
damage the battery over time.

H6
EV Battery Coolant Heater
(if equipped)
When charging your vehicle, the EV
battery coolant heater may be turned
on to increase battery temperature
when the battery temperature is low
(i.e. in cold weather conditions). This
allows the EV battery to charge at
nominal temperatures and helps to
improve battery life.
Note that when the vehicle is being
charged some of the electrical cur-
rent coming from the charger is being
used to operate the EV battery
coolant heater. Electrical power con-
sumption for charging may be slightly
higher than normal.Make sure to use a designat-
ed charger when charging the
high voltage battery. Using
different types of chargers
may have a serious impact on
vehicle durability.
Make sure that the high volt-
age battery charger gauge
does not reach ''L (Low)". If
the vehicle is kept at ''L (Low)"
for a long period, it may dam-
age the high voltage battery
and the high voltage battery
may have to be replaced
depending on the level of
degradation.
If the vehicle is in a collision,
contact an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer to inspect the condition
of the EV battery and related
fuses.
CAUTION
The EV battery coolant heater
operates when the charging con-
nector is connected to the vehi-
cle. However, the EV battery
coolant heater may not operate
when battery temperature drops
below -31°F (-35°C).
