Electric Vehicle
An electric vehicle is driven using a
battery and an electric motor. Whilst
general vehicles use an internal
combustion engine and petrol 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
1.It is driven using the electrical
energy that is charged inside the
high voltage battery. This method
prevents air pollution since fuel,
like petrol, is not required, negating
the emission of exhaust gases.
2.A high performance motor is used in the vehicle as well. Compared to
standard, internal combustion
engine vehicles, engine noise and
vibrations are much more minimal
when driving.
3.When decelerating or driving downhill, regenerative braking is
utilized to charge the high voltage
battery. This minimises energy loss
and increases the distance to
empty.
4.When the battery charge is not sufficient, normal charge, quick
charge and trickle charge are
available. (Refer to “Charge Types
for Electric Vehicle” for details.)
Information
What does regenerative braking do?
It uses an electric motor when decel-
erating and braking and transforms
kinetic energy to electrical energy in
order to charge the high voltage bat-
tery. (Torque is applied in the opposite
direction when decelerating to gener-
ate braking force and electric energy.)
Battery Information
The vehicle is composed of a highvoltage battery that drives the
motor and air-conditioner, and an
auxiliary battery (12 V) that drives
the lamps, wipers, and audio sys-
tem.
The auxiliary battery is automati- cally charged when the vehicle is
in the ready ( ) mode or the high
voltage battery is being charged.

High Voltage Battery
(lithium-ion polymer)
The charge amount of the highvoltage battery may gradually
decrease when the vehicle is not
driving.
The battery capacity of the high voltage battery may decrease
when the vehicle is stored in
high/low temperatures. Distance to empty may vary
depending on the driving condi-
tions, 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 dis-
tance to empty.
The high voltage battery is used when using the air-conditioner /
heater. This may reduce the dis-
tance to empty. 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 distance to empty.
When the charge capacity and dis- tance to empty keep falling, we
recommend that you contact a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer for
inspection and maintenance.
•Do not intentionally remove or
disassemble high voltage
components and high voltage
battery connectors and wires.
Also, be careful not to dam-
age high voltage components
and the high voltage battery. It
may cause serious injury and
significantly impact the per-
formance and durability of the
vehicle.
When inspection and mainte-
nance is required for high
voltage components and the
high voltage battery, we rec-
ommend that you contact a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
WARNING
OAEEQ016002

H6
If the vehicle will not be in use foran extended period of time, charge
the high voltage battery once every
three months to prevent it from dis-
charging. Also, if the charge
amount is not enough, immediate-
ly charge to full and store the vehi-
cle.
Normal charge is recommended to keep the high voltage battery in
optimal condition.
If the high voltage battery charge
amount is below 20%, you can
keep the high voltage battery per-
formance in optimal condition if
you charge the high voltage battery
to 100%. (Once a month or more is
recommended.)High Voltage Battery Warmer
System
The high voltage battery warmer
system prevents reduction of battery
output when battery temperature is
low. If the charging connector is con-
nected, the warmer system automat-
ically operate according to the bat-
tery temperature.
Charging time may shorten compare
to vehicles without the high voltage
battery warmer system. But, electric-
ity charge may increase because of
high voltage battery warmer system
operation.Make sure to use a designated
charger when charging the
high voltage battery. Using dif-
ferent types of chargers may
have a serious impact on vehi-
cle durability.
Make sure that the high volt-
age battery charger gauge
does not reach ''0". If the vehi-
cle is kept at ''0" 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 con-
tact a HYUNDAI authorised
repairer to inspect whether the
high voltage battery is still
connected.
CAUTION
The high voltage battery warmer
system operates when the charg-
ing connector is connected to
the vehicle.
However, the high voltage
warmer system may not operate
when battery temperature drops
below -35°C (-31°F).

If you select the "EV" menu at the
AVN home screen or press the "EV"
button on the right side of the air-
conditioning button panel, you can
enter EV mode.

Multimedia manual that is provided
separately.The EV mode has a total of 7 menus

Distance to Empty
The distance to empty is displayed
differently according to the selected
drive mode in the Drive Mode
Integrated Control System.
For more information, refer to “Drive
Mode Integrated Control System” in
chapter 5.
When destination is not set
On average, a vehicle can drive about 120 miles (191 km). Under
certain circumstances where the
air conditioner/heater is ON, the
distance to empty is impacted,
resulting in a possible distance
range from 80~180 miles
(130~290 km). When using the
heater during cold weather or driv-
ing at high speed, the high voltage
battery consumes a lot more elec-
tricity. This may reduce the dis-
tance to empty significantly.
After “---” has been displayed, the vehicle can drive an additional 2~5
miles (3~8 km) depending on driv-
ing speed, heater/air conditioner,
weather, driving style, and other
factors.
OAE048475N/OAEE047126R
■ NORMAL/
ECO mode selected■SPORT mode selected
The vehicle does not generate
a sound. Be aware of your
driving environment and drive
safely.
After you park the vehicle or
whilst you are waiting at a
traffic light, check whether
there are children or obsta-
cles around the vehicle.
Check if there is something
behind the vehicle when driv-
ing in reverse. Pedestrians
may not hear the sound of the
vehicle.
CAUTION

H49
Distance to empty that is displayedon the instrument cluster after
completing a recharge may vary
significantly depending on previ-
ous operating patterns.
When previous driving patterns
include high speed driving, result-
ing in the high voltage battery
using more electricity than usual,
the estimated distance to empty is
reduced. When the high voltage
battery uses little electricity in ECO
mode, the estimated distance to
empty increases.
Distance to empty may depend on many factors such as the charge
amount of the high voltage battery,
weather, temperature, durability of
the battery, geographical features,
and driving style.
Natural degradation may occur with the high voltage battery
depending on the number of years
the vehicle is used. This may
reduce the distance to empty.When destination is set
When the destination is set, the dis-
tance to empty may change. The dis-
tance to empty is recalculated using
the information of the destination.
However, the distance to empty may
vary significantly based on traffic
conditions, driving habits, and condi-
tion of the vehicle.
Tips for Improving Distance to
Empty
If you operate the air conditioner/heater too much, the driving bat-
tery uses too much electricity. This
may reduce the distance to empty.
Therefore, it is recommended that
you set the cabin temperature to
22°C AUTO. This setting that has
been certified by various assess-
ment tests to maintain optimal
energy consumption rates whilst
keeping the temperature fresh.
Turn OFF the heater and air condi-
tioner if you do not need them.
Depress and hold the accelerator pedal to maintain speed and drive
economically.
Gradually depress and release the accelerator pedal when accelerat-
ing or decelerating.
Always maintain specified tyre pressures.
Do not use unnecessary electrical components whilst driving.
Do not load unnecessary items in the vehicle.
Do not mount parts that may increase air resistance.
