The HYUNDAI Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) uses both the gasoline engine and the electric motor for power. The elec-
tric motor is run by a high-voltage HEV battery.
Depending on the driving conditions, the HEV computer selectively operates between the engine and the electric motor
or even both at the same time.
Fuel efficiency increases when the engine is off at idle, or when the vehicle is driven by the electric motor with the HEV
battery.
The HEV battery charge must be maintained, so at times the engine will come on even at idle to act as a generator.
Charging also occurs when decelerating or by regenerative braking.

Plug-in Hybrid Vehicle
The HYUNDAI Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) shares the characteristics of both a conventional hybrid elec-
tric vehicle and an all-electric vehicle.
When used as a conventional hybrid electric vehicle, the HEV computer selectively operates between the engine and
the electric motor or even both at the same time.
When it is operating in the electric vehicle mode, the vehicle is driven only using the electric motor over a certain dis-
tance until the hybrid battery becomes low. The driving distance in EV mode depends on customer driving style and
road conditions. Aggressive driving maneuvers may at times temporarily enable the engine to operate for maximum
power.
The hybrid battery can be fully charged by connecting a plug to an external electric power source.

Charging Information
•Normal Charge :
The plug-in hybrid vehicle is
charged by plugging into a normal
charger installed in your home or a
public charging station. (For further
details, refer to the 'Normal
Charge'.)
Trickle Charge :
The plug-in hybrid vehicle can be
charged by using household elec-
tricity. The electrical outlet in your
home must comply with regulations
and can safely accommodate the
Voltage / Current (Amps) / Power
(Watts) ratings specified on the
portable charge.
Charging Time Information
Normal Charge :
Takes approximately 2 hours 15
minutes at room temperature. (Can
be charged to 100%.)

Scheduled Charging
(if equipped)
You can set-up a charging sched-ule for your vehicle using the AVN
or BlueLink application.
Refer to the Multimedia manual or
the BlueLink manual for detailed
information about setting sched-
uled charging.
Scheduled charging can only be done when using a normal charger
or the portable charger (ICCB: In-
Cable Control Box). When scheduled charging is set
and the normal charger or the
portable charger (ICCB: In-Cable
Control Box) is connected for
charging, the indicator lamp in the
middle blinks (for 3 minutes) to
indicate that scheduled charging is
set.
When scheduled charging is set, charging is not initiated immediate-
ly when the normal charger or
portable charger (ICCB: In-Cable
Control Box) is connected. When
immediate charging is required,
use the AVN to deactivate the
scheduled charge setting or press
scheduled charging deactivation
( ) button. If you press the scheduled charg-
ing deactivation ( ) button to
immediately charge the battery,
charging must be initiated 3 min-
utes after the charging cable has
been connected.
When you press the scheduled
charging deactivation ( ) button
for immediate charging, the sched-
uled charge setting is not com-
pletely deactivated. If you need to
completely deactivate the sched-
uled charge setting, use the AVN
to finalize the deactivation.
Refer to "Normal Charge or Trickle
Charge" for details about connecting
the normal charger and the portable
charger (ICCB: In-Cable Control Box).

H9
Normal Charge
Actual charger image and charg-
ing method may vary in accor-
dance with the charger manufac-
turer.
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 connec-
tor 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.
WARNING
Always keep the charging con-
nector 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.
Make sure to use the designat-
ed charger for charging the
electric vehicle. Using any
other charger may cause fail-
ure.
Before charging the battery,
turn the vehicle OFF.
When the vehicle is switched
OFF while charging, the cool-
ing fan inside the motor com-
partment may automatically
operate. Do not touch the cool-
ing fan while charging.
Be careful not to drop the
charging connector. The
charging connector can be
damaged.

Information
Charging connector AUTO/LOCK
mode
The charging connector is locked in
the inlet at a different period accord-
ing to which mode is selected.
• LOCK mode : The connector lockswhen the charging connector is
plugged into the charging inlet.
• AUTO mode : The connector locks when charging starts.
For more details, refer to "Charging
Connector AUTO/LOCK Mode" in
this chapter. 6. Connect the charging plug to the
electric outlet at a normal charg-
ing station to start charging. 7. Check if the charging indicator
light of the high voltage battery on
the instrument cluster is turned
ON. Charging is not done when
the charging indicator lamp is
OFF.
When the charging connector and charging plug are not connected
properly, reconnect the charging
cable to charge.

Information
• Even though charging is possiblewith the Engine Start/Stop button in
the ON/START position, for your
safety, start charging when the
Engine Start/Stop button is in the
OFF position and the vehicle shifted
to P (Park). After charging has
started, you can use electrical com-
ponents such as the radio by press-
ing the Engine Start/Stop button to
the ACC or ON position.
• During normal charging, the radio reception may be bad.
• Moving the shift lever from P (Park) to R (Reverse)/N (Neutral)/D
(Drive) stops the charging process.
To restart the charging process,
move the shift lever to P (Park),
place the Engine Start/Stop button
to the OFF position, and disconnect
the charging cable. Then, connect
the charging cable. 8. After charging has started, the
estimated charging time is dis-
played on the instrument cluster
for about 1 minute.
If you open the driver seat door
while charging, the estimated
charging time is also displayed on
the instrument cluster for about 1
minute.
When scheduled charging is set, the estimated charging time is dis-
played as "--".
Information
Depending on the condition and dura-
bility of the high voltage battery,
charger specifications, and ambient
temperature, the time required for
charging the battery may vary.
