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.

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.

Warning
OOSEV040541L
You can select or deselect the Range
Warning.
- Range Warning : If the destination set
in the navigation cannot be reached
with the remaining EV battery charge
level, a warning message is displayed.
EV route
OOSEV040542L
If EV route is selected, EV related
information will show on the route.
You can check the distance the vehicle
can be driven with the current battery
amount along the route. An icon is also
indicated so the driver is able to search
for nearby charging stations.
CHarge Types For
eleCTriC VeHiCle
Charging Information
• Level 2 AC Charging :
You can charge your vehicle using
a 240-volt AC electrical EV charger
in your home or at a public Level 2
charging station.
• DC Fast Charging :
You can charge your vehicle using a
DC fast charger with a compatible
charge cable at a public EV charging
station. Make sure that the station
has a compatible connector for your
vehicle.
Note that prolonged and continuous
use of DC fast charging may reduce
the long term life of the EV battery.
Usage of a DC fast charger should be
minimized when possible in order to
help prolong the life of the EV battery.
• Level 1 AC Charging :
The Electric vehicle can be charged
by using household electricity. 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.

WARNING
• Electromagnetic waves that are
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.
• When the vehicle is switched OFF
while charging, the cooling fan
inside the motor compartment may
automatically operate. Do not touch
the cooling fan while charging.
• Be careful not to drop the charging
connector. The charging connector can be damaged.
