Electric Vehicle (EVs)
An electric vehicle is driven using a
battery and an electric motor. While
general vehicles use an internal
combustion engine and gasoline as fuel,
electric vehicles use electrical energy
that is charged inside the high voltage
battery. 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 energy that is charged inside the high voltage
battery. In terms of air pollution and
greenhouse gas emissions, EVs are
cleaner than conventional vehicles.
2. A 150 kW electric drive motor mated to a reduction gearbox comprises
the vehicle drivetrain. This electric-
only powertrain significantly 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?
It uses an electric motor when decelerating and braking and transforms kinetic
energy to electrical energy in order to
charge the high voltage battery. (Torque
is applied in the opposite direction when
decelerating to generate braking force and
electric energy.)
Battery Information
• The vehicle is composed of a high
voltage battery that drives the motor
and air-conditioner, and an auxiliary
battery (12 V) that drives the lamps,
wipers, and audio system.
• The auxiliary battery is automatically
charged when the vehicle is in the
ready (
) mode or the high voltage
battery is being charged.

main ComponenTs oF eleCTriC VeHiCle
Main Components of Electric
Vehicle
• On-Board Charger (OBC) : A device
that charges the high voltage 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 current (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 transforms 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
converts electrical energy from the
high voltage battery into mechanical
energy which is then transferred as
rotational torque to the wheels in
order to drive the vehicle.
• Reduction gear : Delivers rotational
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

à OBC : On-Board Charger

à LDC : Low Voltage DC-DC Converter
WARNING
• Do not intentionally remove
or disassemble high voltage
components and high voltage
battery connectors and wires. Also,
be careful not to damage high
voltage components and the high
voltage battery. It may cause serious
injury and significantly impact the
performance and durability of the
vehicle.
• When inspection and maintenance
is required for high voltage
components and the high voltage
battery, we recommend that you
contact an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
High Voltage Battery
(lithium-ion polymer)
• The charge amount of the high
voltage battery may gradually
decrease when the vehicle is not
being driven.
• 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 vehicle range. Make
sure to set moderate 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.

The EV mode has a total of 5 menus,
Nearby station, Energy information,
Charge management, ECO driving and
EV settings.

à EV mode menu may vary depending
on which functions are applicable to
your vehicle.

Driving history
OOSEV040538L
The driving history displays information
from the last several driving cycles
including date, distance traveled and
energy efficiency rate. A star icon
indicates the driving cycle with the most
efficient energy consumption rate.
EV Settings
OOSEV040539L
Select ‘EV ÞECO settings’ on the
screen. You can set the Winter mode,
Warning and EV route functions.
Utility Mode
The high voltage battery is used instead
of the 12V auxiliary battery for operating
the convenient features of the vehicle.
When driving is not necessary such as
while camping or when stopping the
vehicle for a long time, it is possible to
use the electrical devices (audio, lights,
air conditioner, heater, etc.) for long
hours.

System Setting and Activation
System setting
The driver can activate the Utility mode
function when the following conditions
are satisfied. • The vehicle is in the ready (
) mode
and the gear is shifted to P (Park).
• The EPB (Electronic Parking Brake) is applied.
• ‘EV settings
ÞUtility mode’ is
selected on the infotainment system
screen.
System Activation
When the system is activated:• The (
) indicator will turn off and
the () indicator will illuminate on
the cluster.
• All electric devices are usable but the
vehicle cannot be driven.
• The EPB can be cancelled by pressing
the EPB switch.
Gear cannot be shifted out of P (Park).
If a shift attempt is made, a message
“Shifting conditions not met” will be
displayed on the infotainment system
screen.
System Deactivation
The Utility mode can be deactivated by
pressing the START/STOP button to the
OFF position. The function cannot be
deactivated from the EV settings. Winter mode
OOSEV040540L
In cold climates and during winter
months, electric vehicle range may
reduce and charging times may increase.
This is primarily due to reduced
performance of the EV battery when
exposed to cold temperatures.
Some vehicles may come equipped with
Winter mode selectable option. The
Winter mode feature can be selected in
the EV Settings menu.
When selected, Winter mode enables
the use of the EV battery coolant heater.
This mode is recommended to improve
EV battery performance in cold climate conditions.
Note that EV range may reduce when
Winter mode is enabled, as electrical
energy is used to maintain the EV battery
temperature.
Winter mode enables operation of the
EV battery coolant heater. While driving
your vehicle, if the battery temperature
is low or the A/C and/or heater is turned
ON, the EV battery coolant heater will be used.
Note that the EV battery coolant heater
will not be used when the EV battery
SOC is low.

à This mode is available for the vehicles
equipped with the battery heater.

Warning and Indicator Lights
(related to electric vehicle)
Ready indicator
This indicator illuminates:
When the vehicle is ready to be driven. - ON : Normal driving is possible.
- OFF : Normal driving is not possible, or a problem has occurred.
- Blinking : Emergency driving.
When the ready indicator goes OFF
or blinks, there is a problem with the
system. In this case, have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Service Warning Light
This warning light illuminates:
• When the Start/Stop button is in the ON position.
- It illuminates for approximately 3 seconds and then goes off.
• When there is a problem with related
parts of the electric vehicle control
system, such as sensors, etc.
When the warning light illuminates while
driving, or does not go OFF after starting
the vehicle, have your vehicle inspected
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Power Down Warning Light
This warning light illuminates :
When the power output from the vehicle
is limited. The vehicle is in fail-safe mode.
Power from the vehicle is limited due to
one of the following reasons: - The state of charge (SOC) of the high voltage battery is very low. Typically
the Power Down Warning Light will
turn ON when the SOC is below 3%.
- The temperature of the EV drive motor or the high voltage battery is either
too high (overheating) or too low
(freezing)
- There is a problem with either the cooling system or a vehicle system
warning has occurred that may
interrupt normal driving
NOTICE
• Do not accelerate or start the vehicle
suddenly when the power down
warning light is ON.
• When the high voltage battery level
is low, the power down warning
illuminates and the power output
from the vehicle is limited. Charge
the battery immediately since your
vehicle may not drive uphill or skid
on a slope with the warning light ON.
