Foreword / Starting Your Electric Vehicle
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 of the power
grid to DC power.

[Inverter : Transforms direct current
into alternate current to supply power
to the motor, and transforms alternate
current into direct current to charge
the high voltage battery.

[LDC : Transforms power from the high
voltage battery to low voltage (12 V) to
supply power to the vehicle (DC-DC).

[VCU : Control the various controls on
the vehicle.

[Motor : Uses electrical energy stored
inside the high voltage battery to drive
the vehicle (functions like an engine in
a standard vehicle).

[Reduction gear : Delivers rotational
force of the motor to the tires at
appropriate speeds and torque.

[High voltage battery (lithium-ion
battery) : Stores and supplies power
necessary for the electric vehicle
to operate (12 V auxiliary battery
provides power to the vehicle features
such as lights and wipers).
ÃOBC : On-Board Charger
ÃLDC : Low Voltage DC-DC Converter
ÃVCU : Vehicle Control Unit
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, contact an authorized
retailer of Genesis Branded products.
High Voltage Battery
(lithium-ion battery)

[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.

[Distance to empty may vary
depending on the driving conditions
(such as outside temperature), 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 distance to empty.

[The high voltage battery is used when
using the air-conditioner / heater.
This may reduce the distance to
empty. Make sure to set moderate
temperatures when using the air-
conditioner/heater.

Foreword / Starting Your Electric Vehicle
CAUTION

[Be well-informed of the manual to
prevent accidents.

[The V2L discharging mode is
blocked automatically in case of
overheating. (When the discharging
mode is blocked, check whether
the V2L connector or power plug
is contaminated, worn, corroded
or broken or the home appliance
capacity is over 16 A. If the
temperature falls to proper level
after it is left unattended, you can
use it again. Use proper home
appliances.)

[Do not remodel or disassemble
the provided V2L connector. The
failure caused by remodeling or
disassembling is not covered by the
warrant.

[Do not drop the V2L connector or
give a strong impact to it.

[Do not place objects on the V2L
connector.

[Be sure to disconnect the V2L
connector from the vehicle when you
are finished using V2L.

[When the high voltage battery
charge reaches the set discharging
limit (%), the operation stops, and a
warning message is displayed on the
instrument panel. If you want V2L
operation, set the discharging limit
(%) lower than the current battery
charge.

[When using various electric
products, use them below the
maximum power capacity that can
be supplied by the vehicle.
[If you use an electrical appliance
that exceeds the maximum power
capacity that the vehicle can supply,
the operation will stop and a warning
message will be displayed on the
instrument panel. Make sure the
total power consumption of the
electrical appliance you use exceeds
the V2L maximum power capacity.

[Some of the electric products may
not operate normally even if the
product has power consumption less
than the maximum power capacity
provided by the vehicle.
-Electrical products that require
high power during initial
operation.
-Measuring devices that need to
process accurate data.
-Electrical products that are
sensitive to inverter type AC
charger. (Inverter : AC power
is supplied through power
semiconductor switching)

[Do not use products that require
a continuous power supply,
such as medical equipment. The
power supply may be interrupted
depending on the vehicle’s
condition.

[Only use home appliances under 16
ampere.

[Put the power plug fully and use
the qualified plug that meets the
standard. If you use worn, corroded
or broken plug or improper plug, it
might be a cause of malfunction.

1-17
01

[Use the power plug with ground
connection.

[Do not use high power home
appliances such as air conditioner,
washing machine or dryer.

[Do not hang the home appliances on
to the wire.

[For various devices connected to
a power outlet, use only products
that have obtained national
safety certification. For usage and
precautions, refer to the manual of
the device. (Electrical appliances,
multi-outlets, cord extension cables,
etc.)

[For devices used outdoors in
a vehicle, use a product with a
waterproof function or use it in a
waterproof environment. Do not use
in environments with rain or high
humidity. (Electrical appliances,
multi-outlets, cord extension cables,
etc.)

[If there is a risk of lightning, do not
use the V2L function outside the
vehicle.

[Do not connect multiple portable
multi-outlets.

[When using an extension cable, if
the cable is twisted or overlapped by
itself may cause a fire. Be sure to use
the cable without twisting it. WARNING

[Do not touch the V2L connector of
the terminal of the vehicle charging
inlet.

[Do not put metal objects to the V2L
connector or charging inlet. It might
be a cause of electric shock.

[Do not touch the V2L connector,
charging inlet or power plug with
a wet hand. It might be a cause of
electric shock. Please handle with a
dry hand all the time.

[Confirm whether there is foreign
substance such as water or dust on
the V2L connector, charging inlet or
power plug before connecting. If you
connect it with foreign substances,
it may be a cause of fire or electric
shock.

[Do not remodel or disassemble the
V2L connector. There is a risk of fire,
electric shock or injury.
ORG3EVQ011091N

[When the power plug is connected or
disconnected to the V2L connector
or open or close the connector
cover of the V2L, be careful not to be
scratched on the hand.

Foreword / Starting Your Electric Vehicle

[Do not charge in the following
conditions. The accident might
occur.
-The V2L connector, charging inlet,
power plug or cable is damaged,
corroded or rusted.
-The connection part is loose.

[Do not use if the sheath of home
appliance cables is damaged or
broken. There is a risk of fire, electric
shock or injury.

[Never use an electric heating
appliance like iron, coffee pot, and
toaster in the vehicle. It may cause a
fire and injury.

[
When using the V2L, the
cooling fan in the vehicle
motor compartment can
operate automatically even
if the vehicle is turned off.
Do not put your hand near
the cooling fan in the V2L
operating state.
LCD display messages
ONE1Q011077L
V2L has ended. Battery level has reached
the set value
When the high voltage battery level
reaches the discharging limit set level,
the V2L will stop and the warning will
be displayed. If you want to use the V2L
continuously, make the discharging limit
set level lower than the present battery
level.
ONE1Q011078L
V2L stopped due to excessive power use
If you use an electrical appliance that
exceeds the maximum power output the
vehicle can supply, it will stop working
and display a warning message. Make
sure that the total power consumption of
your electrical appliance exceeds the V2L
maximum power output.
