- Use a waterproof charger. Do not charge the vehicle in a place where rainwater may come in contact with the joints of the charging cable connector and the charging
plug.
- Ensure there is no water, dust, or other contaminants on the charging cable connector and the charging plug.
- Immediately stop charging if you feel abnormal conditions, such as odor or smoke.
- Do not charge the vehicle if there is a risk of lightning.

Information • While charging, the gear cannot be shifted from P (Park) to any other gear.
• Ensure the vehicle door is unlocked before disconnecting the charging connector. The release button on the charging connector does not work when the vehicle door is locked.
• To control the temperature of the high voltage battery while charging or when the battery temperature is high, the air conditioning is used to cool down the battery. It may generate noise
or vibration from operation of the air conditioning compressor and cooling fan, but this is a
normal condition when charging the high voltage battery.
• The cooling system may be operated when using the air conditioner during charging. This may degrade the air conditioner’s performance temporarily.
• Depending on the condition and durability of the high voltage battery, charger specifications, and ambient temperature, the time required for charging the battery may vary.
• In rare cases, you might hear high-frequency noise (a small beeping sound) outside the vehicle when charging with a 400 V DC charger that has deteriorated or has long communication delay.
The high-frequency noise can be generated only when the vehicle tries to reduce its own
electromagnetic waves to keep DC charging as stable as possible. This beep sound does not
affect the charging performance or the vehicle itself.

Precautions for operating the cooling fan
WARNING
WL_MotorRoomHotCaution
Do not put your hand near the cooling fan in the motor compartment while charging. It
may operate automatically to control the battery temperature, even if the vehicle is
turned off.

Precautions when handling and storing the charging cable
CAUTION • Always keep the charging connector and plug dry and clean.
• Ensure that the connectors, plugs, and control box (portable charger) of the charging cable are not submerged or in contact with water.
• Keep the charging cable free from water or moisture, and keep it in the cargo storage compartment.
• Do not keep the charging cable near heat source or heating appliances.
• Keep the charging cable away from children.
• If there is dust or contaminants inside the charging connector or plug, remove it using the air gun.
• If the charging cable is contaminated, completely disconnect the cable from the charger or power, and remove the contaminants.
- Wipe the charging cable lightly with the soft cloth soaked with a 3 % neutral detergent aqueous solution, then use a clean cloth to completely remove moisture
and dry the cable in a well-ventilated shade.
- When removing contaminants, ensure the charging connector and charging plug are not in contact with water.
- Do not use organic solvents, such as benzene, paint thinner, or detergent. Doing so may cause deformation, discoloration, or malfunction of charging cable.
- When using a vehicle decontamination agent, ensure that the product does not contain organic solvents, such as benzene, paint thinner, or detergent.

Checking Basic Information on Charging Your Electric Vehicle
Before charging your vehicle, check and understand the information such as the
expected charging time according to the charge type, checking the State of Charge
(SOC), and setting the charger lock mode.
Checking charging type and charging time
The charge types for electric vehicle are as follows:
• AC charge : The electric vehicle is charged via a Level 2 AC public charger or
professionally installed home charger.
• DC charge : You can charge at high speeds at public charging stations. Refer to the
respective company’s charger app or online information that is provided for each DC
charger type.
• Portable charge : If the vehicle cannot be moved to a public charging station due to a
lack of battery power, the vehicle can be charged with household electricity, using the
120 V ICCB portable charger included with the vehicle.

if equipped
When the electric charging door closes automatically
The electric charging door closes automatically after certain time in the following
conditions. Check the operation conditions and reset the charging door if it does not
open under normal use conditions.
• When the charging connector is disconnected.
• When the charging door is opened and charging has not started.
• When the gear is shifted to D (Drive), N (Neutral), or R (Reverse).
Resetting the electric charging door
If the electric charging door malfunctions or if the 12 V battery has been replaced, reset
the charging door by turning the vehicle on and off once.
• If the charging door malfunctions continuously after resetting the charging door, have the vehicle inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Setting charging connector locking mode
You can lock the charging connector during AC charging to prevent unintended
detachment of the charging connector from the vehicle.
Information The connector is automatically locked during DC charging or while using the V2L function,
regardless of the settings of charging connector locking mode applied to the vehicle.
• When DC charging is complete, the charging connector will be unlocked automatically.
• After using electricity, you can unlock the charging connector by pressing the switch on the V2L connector to turn off the power and unlock the vehicle door.

On the infotainment system, select EV > (EV Setting) > Charging Connector Locking
Mode to set the locking mode of the charging connector.
The available locking mode options are as follows:
• Always : Locks the connector automatically whenever the charging connector is
plugged into the charging inlet.
• While Charging: Locks the connector automatically only while charging is in progress
after the charging connector is properly connected to the vehicle. This is the preferred
setting when using public stations to allow for other customers to use charger after
your vehicle is done charging.
• Do Not Lock : Unlocks the connector regardless of the charging state. Be careful of
portable charging cable theft.

Disconnecting the charging connector in an emergency
If the unlock button is not functioning properly due to a discharged battery or abnormal
electrical wiring, the charging connector cannot be disconnected from the vehicle.
CAUTION Do not disconnect the charging connector forcibly. Doing so may damage the charging
connector or the charging inlet on the vehicle.

If the charging door does not open due to battery being fully discharged or a wiring
failure, open the trunk and pull the emergency cable on the trunk’s right wall.
