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.

Foreword / Electric Vehicle System Overview

•
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
recommended to fully charge the
vehicle to 100% before storing, and
then charge the vehicle periodically
(approximately every 3 months)
to prevent the EV battery from
discharging 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 battery
capacity at a low SOC may damage
the battery over time.
• Make sure to use a designated
charger when charging the high
voltage battery. Using different types
of chargers may have a serious impact
on vehicle durability.
CAUTION
• If the vehicle is kept at “H (High)”
for a long period, it may damage
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, we
recommend that you contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer to
inspect whether the high voltage
battery is still connected.
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 current
coming from the charger is being
used to operate the EV battery coolant
heater. Electrical power consumption
for charging may be slightly higher than normal.
CAUTION
The high voltage battery warmer
system operates when the charging
connector is connected to the vehicle.
However, the high voltage warmer
system may not operate when battery
temperature drops below -35°C (-31°F).

Virtual Engine Sound System
The Virtual Engine Sound System
generates engine sound for pedestrians
to hear vehicle sound because there is
no sound while the Electric Vehicle (EV)
is operating. • If the vehicle is in the ready (
)
mode and the gear is not in P (Park),
the VESS will be operated.
• When the gear is shifted to R
(Reverse), an additional warning
sound will be heard.
CAUTION
• The vehicle is much quieter while
driving than a conventional gasoline-
powered vehicle. Be aware of your
surroundings and always drive safely.
• After you park the vehicle or while
you are waiting at a traffic light,
check whether there are children or
obstacles around the vehicle.
• Check if there is something behind
the vehicle when driving in reverse.
Pedestrians may not hear the sound
of the vehicle.
Distance to Empty
OOSEV040486L
The location of where the vehicle range
is displayed is different depending on
which drive mode is active.
For more details, refer to “Drive Mode
System” in chapter 5.
When destination is not set • On average, a vehicle can drive
about 400 km (250 miles). Under
certain circumstances where the air
conditioner/heater is ON, the range
is affected, resulting in a possible
distance range from 335~500 km
(210~310 miles). When using the
heater during cold weather or driving
at high speed, the high voltage battery
consumes a lot more electricity. This
may reduce the range significantly.
• After “---” has been displayed,
the vehicle can drive an additional
3~8 km (2~5 miles) depending on
driving speed, heater/air conditioner,
weather, driving style, and other
factors.
