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.

generated from the charger can seriously impact medical electric
devices such as an implantable
cardiac pacemaker.
When using medical electric devices
such as an implantable cardiac
pacemaker, make sure to ask the
medical team and manufacturer
whether charging your electric
vehicle will impact the operation of
the medical electric devices such as
an implantable cardiac pacemaker.
• Inspect the charging cable connector
for any signs of water or excess
dust or dirt. Connecting the cable
when there is water or dirt on the
connector may initiate a short circuit
and cause a fire or electric shock.
WARNING
• Use caution not to touch the
charging connector or the charging
port when connecting the cable from
the charger to the charging port on
the vehicle.
• Comply with the following in order
to prevent electrical shock when
charging:
- Use caution when connecting the
charger to the charging port when
it is raining or snowing.
- Use caution when there are
adverse weather conditions such
as lightning.
- Use caution when the charging
connector or the charging plug is
wet.
WARNING
• Immediately stop charging when
you find abnormal symptoms (odor,
smoke).
• Replace the charging cable if the
cable coating is damaged to prevent electrical shock.
• When connecting or removing the
charging cable, make sure to hold
the charging connector handle and
charging plug.
If you pull the cable itself (without
using the handle), the internal wires
may disconnect or get damaged. This
may lead to electric shock or fire.
CAUTION
• Always keep the charging connector
and charging plug in clean and
dry condition. Be sure to keep the
charging cable in a condition where
there is no water or moisture.
• Before charging the battery, turn the
vehicle OFF.

EV Charging Troubleshooting - Steps to Consider
If the vehicle fails to charge after being plugged in to a charging station or if plugged in
when using the portable charger, check the following:
1. Verify the charge mode is set to immediate. (i.e. confirm that scheduled charging is turned OFF)
2. Check the operation status of the charging station or the portable charger.
3. Check to see if there are any warning messages in the LCD cluster. Refer to “LCD Display Messages” in this section.
4. If there is an error message on the charging station display screen, there may be
a problem with the charging station. Try to charge the vehicle with a different
charging station.
5. If the vehicle fails to charge with different charging station equipment, there may be a problem with the vehicle. Contact an authorized HYUNDAI dealer for inspection.
6. If charging fails and the service warning light (
) is lit in the cluster,
Contact an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

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.

Power/Charge Gauge
OOSEV040474L
The Power/Charge Gauge shows the
energy consumption rate of the vehicle
and the charge/discharge status of the
regenerative brakes. • POWER :
This portion of the gauge indicates the
amount of electrical power supplied to
the EV motor while driving. • CHARGE :
This portion of the gauge indicates the
amount of charging to the EV battery
when regenerative braking is applied.
State of charge (SOC) gauge for
high voltage battery
OOSEV040495L
• The SOC gauge shows the charging
status of the high voltage battery.
• “L (Low)” position on the indicator
indicates that there is not enough
energy in the high voltage battery.
“(High)” position indicates that the
driving battery is fully charged.
• When driving your vehicle for long
distances on the highway or in rural
areas, make sure to check that the
State of Charge (SOC) is sufficient to
get to your destination and make sure
to map out useable charging locations
along your route.
When there are 2 gauge bars (near the “L
(Low)” on the SOC gauge, the warning
light (
) turns ON to alert you of the
battery level.
When the warning light (
) turns
ON, the vehicle can drive an additional
20~30 km (12~18 miles) depending on
the driving speed, heater/air conditioner,
weather, driving style, and other factors.
Charging is required.
NOTICE
When there are 1-2 gauge bars left for
the high voltage battery, the vehicle
speed is limited and then eventually the
vehicle will turn OFF. Charge the vehicle
